Help! New Super Mario Bros Wii Problems!

[Mario-Fan]

Hi guys!
I have a huge problem.
I need your help!

When I try to run New Super Mario Bros Wii on the Dolphin-r5474 Emulator, I hear the audio, but the screen is black. The game is running but I don`t see anything. This happenes also when I try to play Super Smash Bros Melee.

Computer Details :
Computer : ASUS X57VN-AS025C
Operating System : Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Hard Disk : 320 GB
RAM : 4 GB
Graphic Card : NVidia GeForce 9650M GT, 1 GB VRAM <-- I guess this causes the problem. When I choose OpenGL as graphics plugin I see and hear the game but it`s very slow - between 9 and 20 FPS

Dolphin Details :
Build : r5474
Config :
- Enable Dual Core : Enabled
- Enable Idle Skipping : Enabled
- HLE the IPL : Enabled
- CPU Emulator Engine --> JIT recompiler
DX9 Graphics Plugin Settings :
- Disable Fog : Enabled
- Enable FEB copy --> To texture

Hope you can help me.
I need New Super Mario Bros Wii running to test the stages, which I`ve edited with Reggie.

OpenGL : download lastest Nvidia driver Or try D3D plugin (must update directx Feb 2010)
Don't use lastest build or slower than halfspeed,try this build
64 bit
32 bit
Setting:http://www.dolphin-emu.org/performance.html

The problem with downloading a new driver for my video card is that it screws up my display by drawing "random glitchy graphics". Here`s an example :



So I have to use an old driver.

I`ve also tried the settings on that site...it still doesn`t work :\

But when I go to graphics setting, a textarea says : "DirectX9 is up to date and ready to be used!". Do I still need an update?

Vista uhm...can't tell windows vista or video card not compatible with driver causing this
Better run on windows 7 64 bit

Yup, Vista just fucks everything up...

[Mario-Fan]

Well, I don`t get it...
It doesn`t work with the Dolphin-r5474 emulator, when I select the DirectX9 Plugin.
But when I open Dolphin-r2996 and play Super Smash Bros Brawl/Melee with the OpenGL-Plugin, it works somehow (still some errors)...

Isn`t there a way to speed up the emulator by using OpenGL Plugin on Windows?

[Mario-Fan]

Well, I can see the game and hear the sound with OpenGL.
The only problem is the slow speed.
What settings do I need to speed up the game when I`m using OpenGL-Plugin on Windows?

I think your problem is in the drivers. You have to download from nvdia site and the drivers are for FAMILY 9 M . don´t forget. If i´m wrong sorry but i think you may have install the drivers for the geforce standart and not the notebook editions.

The site has problems either way i will put the link here.

I hope i helped somehow

Well, I just selected "Copy EFB to GL texture (hack)" instead of "Copy EFB to system ram (real)".
So it kinda works faster...the game still doesn`t run fluently, but it`s playable

To the drivers : I have the old driver now.
This screen that I showed you was made last year.
Don`t worry, everything is ok with my laptop now

And I won`t install any new drivers.
Because if I do then it`s really hard to re-install the old driver (the new driver makes my display freeze 2-3 mins after logging in).
