Depends on hardware. If you have a crappy GPU like GMA 950 then it would be 4.0.2.

*facepalm* No DJBarry004.

@savvy - Windows XP support was broken when Dolphin moved to VS2013 in 4.0-296. Any 32-bit build before that should work fine.

As for D3D9 support, that's another issue entirely. We have a blog post about that. After D3D9 was removed in 4.0-155, OpenGL still worked in Windows XP until 4.0-296.

*sigh*

@Off-topic: the last build working with the crappy Intel GMA 950 was r7589 (with a lot of graphical glitches, of course)...

@Jhonn: Sorry for going off-topic, but you should see this image. (See attachment).

(It seems no one believes on anyone unless that person presents some proof.)

Still irrelevant. Read what I said earlier:

Let's start with your screenshot: it's showing the Health and Safety screen. Go past that screen and you'll get completely messed graphics, game will be unplayable. The last Dolphin version that rendered something playable in GMA 950 was r7589 (assuming you disable CPU EFB access -- otherwise the last working one is r4598) and I'm 100% sure on that because I already were working in the wiki at that time and my old computer had that crappy IGP. Dolphin r7590 and onwards moved to Pixel Shader 2.0A which isn't supported by GMA 950, resulting in completely messed graphics (and not just the lightning and Z-Fighting issues like in r7589 and earlier)...

Want more sources? The (now closed) issue 3256 and issue 4598 should give you more details of how GMA 950 behaved while it was supported by Dolphin. Just stop making assumptions and spreading nonsense. A gold tip for you: if you're not 100% sure, don't post. It's not the first time you do that Dodgy
