Hi all,
I'm a little confused here, I had dolphin working last night, but I get a black screen now, also I do have sound, and can here the game being run...
(I really appreciate anyone taking the time to read this, and welcome all comments and thoughts. I would like to say thanks to all the developers for all their hard work, love what you're doing here! I would also like to note that I have some free time and a good system, and I'd like to start getting involved in this project, testing, building and playing...)
I'm new to dolphin, but not to emulation, I do tech support for a living, but just cannot figure out what happened here.
I was able to rip my MarioKart Wii disc into an iso. I updated my gfx card software, downloaded dolphin, configured it, figured out the saved game problem, and I was playing without too many issues for two whole days. Then, out of nowhere it stopped working...
The last two things I did was, I beat mariokart on 50cc, I got excited about being able do run wii on my computer, so I ripped my Super Mario Galaxy disc. I didn't think about it not being able to play without the wiimote and nunchecks, and I hadn't tried to configure that yet, I was using my PC game controller. So I shut down dolphin, and didn't touch it again till this morning, that's when I discovered it was broke.
Did trying to play SMG somehow mess things up?
I was using lannyboys svn build from 3 days ago..
In trying to trouble shoot it, I have now tried all of the latest dolphin builds, I've tried all of the suggested configs, and I get the same results, black screen with sound. Mariokart and SMG are the only games I have to work with...
I,m also running windows 7 64bit, and I tried to get it working with that, but I don't even get a game screen, I click to play the game, and I see the little box that says booting for a second... then nothing, the game doesn't initialize...
I've also even tried to get it working on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit, but couldn't really find any instructions on how to get dolphin working, anyone got any proper instructions on how to do this with ubuntu and ati gfx card?...
I can always go back to playing on my wii, but this is so cool, I wanted to show it off...
my system:
Dell studio XPS
Vista Home Premium 64bit
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Ubuntu 8.10 64bit (err Linux Mint)
Intel Core I7 920
6G ram
ati radeon 4850 512MB (wanting to switch to nvidia)
Any thoughts?
thx
