Upset with Graphics Plugins of New Versions

[AllenSword]

I know now that the constant Black Screen Error everyone's been getting is really from the graphics plugins of versions over #3000. I know this because I replaced the graphics plugins of 3131 with those of 2390, and suprise, no black screen. This is something you may want to look into. Also, when will there be another bi-weekly release posted on the homepage?

Use latest revisions, black screen was fixed there

Post a link to them please, also something else of interest to me, when I ran Pokemon Colosseum in 2390, there were models missing, images that appeared invisible, and no letters showed up, but when I ran 2390 with 3dvia printscreen running, everything was visible. Just something wierd I noticed. This doesn't seem to happen with 3d ripper dx, and this only works with the directx plugin.

I got 3283, and the graphics plugins are still buggy. The games play slow, at 2 fps instead of 20, and SSBM went from a black screen to a white screen with some visible but hard to see graphics. This is just with the directx plugin. For the opengl, nothing happens. I got the same error message that I used to get with all other versions before I got opengl2.0. Well, my graphics card is fully updated, so why should the opengl plugin say it's not?

well the OpenGL plugin requires opengl 2.1 not 2.0 , and also you never mentioned your video card

My System Specs are:
Computer:HP Compaq nc8000
Graphics Card:ATI Mobility RADEON 9600 64MB
Ram:1GB
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.6Ghz
Hard Disk:80GB
OS:Windows XP Pro 32bit
I know this computer doesn't sound great, but it is quite amazing at how many of your revisions it's been able to run. The Graphics card has had its latest update, which is why all the other openGL plugins have worked for me so far. I have in the meantime been using the old plugins from 2390 (the most successful on my system) in 3286, and have reached a playable speed in SSBM when set to fast melee. Let me know if my computer will be able to run any newer versions. Also, if anyone has the source code for the graphics plugins that I've been using, please send the files to me.

well i checked to compatiblity on your graphics card and it only supports up to OpenGL 2.1 , and even though you'll be able to run Dolphin with that cpu but it'll be very slow if you ever are able to get a good gpu (doubt it since laptops aren't really that easy to upgrade )

i hope that the next release from devs have directx working(not perfect of course).[/align]

Let's say hypothetically that dolphin will work 100% on speed, graphics, etc, what type of minimum system requirements do you guess it will take to run dolphin?
