Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I was attempting to play Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (GC) and after loading a file I got this error message:

Failed to compile pixel shader!
This usually happens when trying to use Dolphin with an outdated GPU or integrated GPU like the Intel GMA series.

If you're sure this is Dolphin's error anyway, post the contents of C:\Users\HionOderlessOrgeless\Desktop\New Folder/User/Dump/bad_ps_0000.txt along with this error message at the forums.

Debug info (ps_2_0):
C:\Users\HionOderlessOrgeless\Desktop\New Folder\memory(16,22):
error X4052: invalid ps_2_0 input semantic 'POSITION'

Does this mean I need a new graphics card to be able to play the game, or do I need to change the settings on the Dolphin that I downloaded?

Yeh, you need a newer video card, sorry. One that supports Pixel Shader 3.0 to be specific.

Thanks for the help. I guess I'll go buy a new card then.

*facepalm* This is not related to your problem, but get your builds from the official site - http://dolphin-emu.org/download/ . The latest as of this writing is 3.5-1387.
