No ROMs loading.

Hi, when I try to load up games that have worked in the past, the screen is just black. I've tried re-dumping with no luck.

The game that I play the most is Mario Kart Wii, I haven't changed any settings, the version of Dolphin I use or anything, and yet now, for the past few weeks, it just loads up a black screen. My version of Dolphin is 4.0-9502, and my operating system is Windows 10 x86.

I did ask on Twitter and they suggested posting here, so any help is really appreciated. <3 Thank you.

Versions below 5.0 are no longer supported here. Does it still happen on the latest dev builds or 5.0?

Same issue on Dolphin 5.0-6907, should I try a build that isn't a dev build?
Thank you for the fast reply btw.

Wait, we haven't supported 32-bit and haven't for a very long time. I assume you meant Windows 10 64-bit?

Yes, sorry, I have 64-bit Windows 10.

Does it give any signs of emulation starting? Like audio playing, the rendering window appearing, or emulation percentage displaying?

No audio plays, and the only thing that gets displayed is:

Does this happen on all graphics backends?

This fixed it! Thank you so much. I was on Open GL, changed to Direct3D 11, and it loaded. Should I try with the other backends and post which others fixed it?

Again, thank you so much, I really appreciate your help. <3

That's probably why! Intel is well known for having pretty bad OpenGL drivers. Maybe Windows update or something changed them and broke them?
