I need help/answers please!

Hello!

I'm new to this emulator/site.
So here I am, trying to play the games that i have, but they are laggy, dont have good graphics or have numerous graphic ''fails''.

I am using Dolphin 2.0 (32 bit) with the Graphic Plugin ''Dolphin Direct3D9'', because OpenGL does not work on my computer, and I am unable to update it.

I always get a warning when I start the emulator : FBManager::Create FAIL: Depth Color Texture. The game speed is very slow, and when i try to play SSBB, i cant see the whole ''map'' that im playing on; i only see the backround and the characters are floating in the air.

I cant play Super Mario Sunshine, because it gets all ''pixel-y'' when im suppose to start playing.

Ive been searching the forums for 2 days (not straight of course XD) and still havnt found the answer... Ive tried updating DirectX, changing Dolphin 2.0 to an older version, tweaking the settings, update my graphics card (which doesnt work for some reason) and searched on google and youtube! => Still doesnt work well...

My best guess is that my graphics card isnt good enough... But i wanted to know what the forum thought...

Here is my computer info:

-Plug and Play Monitor on Intel® 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
-Windows Xp Professional (Service Pack 3)
-Intel Pentium 4 HT
-0.99GB of RAM

If any more info is required to help me out, just leave a comment I guess ^^'

So yeah... that's about it I guess, please help me, all i wanna do is play!

EDIT: Ive just learned that Dolphin 2.0 is old? Someone please confirm ^^'
EDIT 2: I just downloaded another version of dolphin, and the graphic problems for SSBB work better, but the game is still really slow! (12 fps in game with a speed of about 32%..) please give me an answer to get the fps and speed% higher thanx!

Both your CPU and GPU are too slow to run games smoothly with Dolphin.

Dolphin 2.0 is somewhat old. It is the most recent official release version, but there hasn't been an official release in a while.
Many people use svn builds which get daily updates. You can get recent builds here: http://www.dolphin-emu.org/
Though I don't think a newer version will solve your problems.

Your GPU is probably just too limited and is causing the graphics issues that you described.
You could try updating your graphics drivers. You said it didnt work? Well it does :p, you must be doing it wrong. (It probably won't help though)

Your computer is still too slow anyway.

Thanks for the quick answer! So i downloaded a new dolphin svn, the newest i could find its fixed a part of the graphic problems i had, but not all

Im trying to update my graphic card, and this is the ''message'' that i get from the Intel site, after performing the automatic driver update thing:

''A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.''

Does that mean that i must go on the Dell site and look? (going to try that while i wait for an answer ) => must be why that when i tried updating the graphic card earlier today that it didnt work ^^

So most of the graphics are fixed in SSBB, but it is still going slow (my computer too slow as you said) but there are still graphic problems in Super Mario Sushine. (maybe the graphic card update will fix it?)

Anyway, thanks alot! Hope you could still help me haha
