Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hope I didn't put this in the wrong place :S

I'm new to the forum. I don't know if there has already been a topic for these errors or where they would be in here.

Here are the Errors I've been getting on the SVN R 4771 verison of Dolphin:
---
Can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions. Check the logs for more info
&
06:41:124 E[COMMON]: DL: Error loading DLL Plugins/Plugin_VideoDX9.dll: The specified module could not be found.
---
I have Direct X 9 downloaded already and I have located the plugin that was "not found" inside one of my folders. I just need to figure out how to make it so that the plug "is found" so that it works. I used the Setup Guide on here to configure the rest of Dolphin on my laptop.

Can anyone help me with this please??

Why are you using 4771? That is horribly out of date.

I got the download link from a friend. I didn't know it was out of date. If I download the latest version, will that solve the problems I've been having? Or do I need something else that goes with it?

did you have installm vc red x 86 and x64

Because some idiots still advertise r4771 as the "best" Dolphin revision...

Besides the latest revision which I've experienced performance degradation again, specfically with EFB to Ram, revisions since the past 100 - 200 revisions actually perform quite well and with much better compatibility than the 4xxx revisions.

Can you please link to me to the download for the latest version/revision of Dolphin.

Also, if I download this version and get Direct X downloaded, will it solve the problems I've been having? (correct the errors I've been getting) I know I asked this in my previous post, but the answer wasn't clear to me.

Read the "[!!] Getting Started With Dolphin [!!]" thread.
It is stickied in the "General" forum section.

What's that? :S

Ok, so I downloaded and installed Direct X 9 on my computer and I have Dolphin Direct 3D9 as the Graphics plugin now. So it solves the "Cannot create opengl renderer" error. But I still have the other one stated in my first post and 2 new ones.

For the second error in my first post:
I have located the plugin that it said was not found. But I don't know how to get it so that it is found.

New Error #1:
When I load a game, it goes past the first two frames and then I get a blank black screen. Right before it goes to the second frame, the sound from the first frame goes out of wack and I get a repeating clicking noise that lasts thorughout the second frame until it freezes up. After I close the window because of it freezing, it says this in the logs:

New Error #2:
I downloaded the latest revision of Dolphin currently out (r-6446.7z) today and I clicked on the file and tried to extract to one of my folders, but it only gets about half way done extracting when it stops and gives me this error:
"The program can't start because SDL.dll is missing from your computer."
The SDL.dll file is in the 7-zip file, but it says it's missing. How do I fix that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to extract the entire contents of the 7zip archive.
Don't run the Dolphin.exe from within the .7z file.
