just another dolphin n00b who needs help with "core" problem

[theoblivion87]

i finally was able to copy my super smash bros melee mini-dvd to my HDD, but every time i try to start a game of SSBM, or any other game for that matter, i get two error messages:

the first is "Failed to load Wiimote plugin"
i didn't think i needed the Wiimote plugin for a gamecube game, but hell, ill take whatever help i can get on that one.

the second is "Couldn't init the core. Check your configuration."
this one's got me baffled. i have no idea what to do. i enabled dual core because, well, im using a dual core processor and i left everything else alone, but i still keep getting this problem...

i would be REALLY thankful if someone could help solve my problem

THANKS A MILLION IN ADVANCE

you need to install
MS Visual C++ Runtime 2008 SP1
and
DirectX March 2009 Runtime
I had the same prob.

what do you have for a video card? is it OpenGL 2.1 complaint?

[theoblivion87]

well, i'm almost 100% sure that my current graphics card is a piece of crap, 128MB virtual (i know, ugh) but i tried using D3D and it said, ur card sucks, using software renderer

so it ran the menus at full framrate and it ran the actual game at about 12-14 fps, more than i expected lol

If your graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 2.1 then it will give you the OpenGL renderer error and you can't use that plugin.
