"Hide Cursor" option does not work

08-03-2010, 03:49 AM #1

Hello,

When I try to play SMG2, the windows cursor still shows up even though I have enabled the "Hide Cursor" option. When I switch to Direct3D the hide option works, but not when I go back to OpenGL. (Of course, the performance under Direct3D sucks, so I prefer to play under OGL.) Anyone have a fix for this?

Here are my system specs:

Windows 7 x64
Intel Core i7 920
12GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512

Thank you for any help.

You are probably using an old version of Dolphin.
This has been fixed.

It's odd that you get bad performance with the Direct3D plugin.
Most people get worse performance with the OpenGL plugin.
Did you configure the D3D plugin? EFB copy to texture, etc...

I downloaded it just a couple of days ago. It is the 2.0 version for Windows x64. It's odd that you mentioned D3D performance is supposed to be better, since I've read in other forums that the D3D plugin is not as well developed as the OGL plugin and is lagging behind. From what I've read, you should never use the D3D plugin. I am not sure what the date of those comments were though. Could they have been wrong? When I use the D3D plugin myself, the game runs a bit slower. But how come the OpenGL plugin is the default one when you first run Dolphin?

Dolphin 2.0 is getting old, though it is the latest "official release" version. The hide cursor issue has been fixed in revisions after it.
The OpenGL plugin used to be much better than the Direct3D plugin. Those were probably old posts you were reading.
OpenGL might be default because it used to be better or because Direct3D isn't available on Linux/OS X and no one feels like changing the default video plugin on just Windows. Idk

Thanks for the tip. I will download the latest build now and give it a try.

I had exactly the same issue on windows 7 64bit, so i went to :

http://www.dolphin-emu.org/

Got the latest build 6122 for 64bit and all works great now.

Hope that helps.

PS delete the original folder it doesn't seem to like you just pasting the new files in.
