Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

while trying to load pikmin 2 to play using the latest dolphin , i get a screen popping up saying "dolphin.xex has stopped working" and then another message from microsoft windows saying "the program has stopped working. windows will check for a solution." so when i check for a solution it says d.e.p. is blocking this from working. so i go to dep settings and try to allow the program to run, but it wont let it

sooo i tried an older version of dolphin(dolphin 2.0) and i got yet another error saying"cant create openGL renderer. you must be missing some required opengl extensions, check the logs for more info."

so if anybody can help me to get dolphin to run and let me play pikmin 2, it would be greatly appreciated.

is this what your talking about?

run dxdiag

We need to know what kind of gpu you have.

old friend mr. google says inspiron 530 is a pc from mid 2006 & either has an intel gma 3500, ati xpress 1300 or radeon 3650 256mb.

which translates to: 800x600 at lowest settings at 30-50fps

Your on-board Intel "video card" is not good enough to run Dolphin. You will have to upgrade.
