Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello everyone,

First : - my graphic card is Radeon X1950 Pro with last drivers
- my processor is Athlon 64 X2 @ 2,86 GHz
- operating system is Windows XP SP2

Next : I am using Dolphin SVN 2745 and despite that the Plugin_VideoDX9.dll is present in the Dolphin's Plugins drawer, I can't load it, it doesn't appear in the Graphics plugin selector. I can only use the Dolphin OpenGL plugin but it is slow...
I have installed the last DirectX 9.0 runtime from march 2009, but this is always the same problem : I can't see Direct3D plugin in Graphics the plugin selector.

Anyone knows how to make appear the Direct3D plugin in the Graphics plugin selector ?

Thank you for your answers.


Sincerely, Marco

You need to UPDATE your directx not INSTALL . Also did you check stickies?

Is it appropriate to hijack this thread instead of starting a new one? Mainly 'cause I have two questions and one is directly related to this thread.

I have Windows 7 (beta, of course), a Radeon 4850, and DirectX 11 installed. The DX9 plugin still doesn't show up on my end, even after I ran the installer on the relevant question on the sticky about this. Is this a bug or does DX9 need to be updated seperately? ( I recall hearing that DX9 is essentially run under a sort of "compatibility layer" in 7 )

Also, under the OpenGL plugin, if I turn on anti-aliasing (e.g. set it to anything other than "off"), Tatsunoko vs Capcom presents me with a black screen. Is there a workaround for that? (sadly, Ati drivers don't have an option in Windows to force AA on OpenGL titles)

Do you have cgD3D.dll in your dolphin folder?
