Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello everyone !

Textures are missing when I play New Super Mario Bros. I can see mario and the enemies, but no ground, no block, no coin, etc. Here is a screen that shows the problem.

(on the second screen, I'm not jumping but staying on an invisible block...)

Config :
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Dolphin r7246 (the more recent builds don't work for me)
Intel core 2 duo 2.26 GHz
2Go DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

Of course I'm using the configuration bellow.

My NVIDIA drivers are up to date.

I've been looking for a solution two days long but did not find anyone who had the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated !

Thanks !

Did you disable textures? If so do not. If you are still having problems disable ALL hacks.

Hi !
Thanks for answering !
No, I didn't disable textures. I disabled all hacks but the problem is still there... I've also tried a couple of older Dolphin builds and nothing changed...

maybe try on default settings?

Are you using default builds or the texcache-rewrite branch? I've seen problems similiar to this with the latter one.

@gore
I suppose you're talking about this configuration : http://www.dolphin-emu.org/configuration-explanation.html?lang=en I tried it and it did not solve the problem.

@NeoBrain
I'm using the builds you can download from the official website http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html?lang=en (I'm using r7246 version downloaded from the "Archives" section.) I guess it is a default build.

Try it on Windows ?

It may be a problem with the OSX Drivers

Well I don't have Windows...
But you're right, it looks like a driver problem. Yet, my OS is up to date, as well as my NVIDIA drivers.

What strikes me most is that I seem to be the only one who gets this problem...

Did it ever display properly before? Try some older revs, if some older one works, try to find out which revision broke it for you.
And btw, why don't newer revisions work for you?

No, I've never managed to run the game properly.

I've just tried some older builds, I even tried the oldest available build for mac (r7167), but none of them could display the missing textures.

The newer revs (after r7246) display the message "Clearing code cache" in the left hand down corner for a few seconds and crash each time I try to run the game.
