Odd Error Message Followed by Crashing. Help Requested.

[doctor_ steam]

Upon the initialization of an .iso file (Both Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, assuming the same outcome for all others) I am met with an error message stating:

"GPU: OGL ERROR: Need GL_ARB_sampler_objects.GPU: Does your video card support OpenGL 3.3? Please report this issue, then there will be a workaround."

Followed by Dolphin crashing.
I've done some searching around but I've found nothing of use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DirectX9 was removed from Dolphin some time ago AND your card doesn't support OpenGL3.3.

It's time to upgrade my friend.

According to the AMD product specifications, the HD 4200 does not support OpenGL 3.3. It supports OpenGL 3.2. Close but no cigar.

Still, D3D9 and D3D11 should work fine for you though in 4.0.1. Do they?

It is still in builds up to 4.0-155, and those are still supported here.

I'm not sure how accurate that is since mine also says it only supports 3.2, but I can run OpenGL 4.x benchmarks and stuff, but then again mine also has shader model 5.

He has XP. Nothing besides DX9 will work.

[ExtremeDude2]

I thought OpenGL worked on XP

OGL would normally work, but that graphics card doesn't support the required version.

GL_ARB_sampler_objects is supported with the HD 4200 (I know it since I'm using one :p), but apparently the XP drivers don't expose the extensions. Upgrading to a more up to date Windows version might resolve the issue.

Fwiw, the extension definitely is supported on mesa drivers (Linux).
