Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

When I boot up any game in recent revisions, I get nothing but a black screen. Going back to 4.0-889, everything works fine. However, in the following build (4.0-905), the issue starts to happen. I have found one way to get games to start, and that's to change the Emulator Engine to "Interpreter," though it's obviously too slow to play. I've tried with both graphics backends and the result is the same. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (x86)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9800GT (Driver is up to date - 335.23)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo C8400 @ 3.00 GHz
RAM: 2GB

Post your settings (preferably graphics) as screenshots.

Everything's default, I cleared out the Dolphin folder in My Documents.

Have you tried with D3D?

Yes. Both D3D and OpenGL yield the same result.

Try with a more recent build and then tell what happens.

I guess I should have specified, I've tried the most recent build, it doesn't work. As I said, the problem started with 4.0-905. 4.0-889 and earlier work just fine.

There is a known issue with the 335 nvidia drivers. Roll back to 332. - https://www.facebook.com/dolphin.emu/pos...9847091791

You'll also get poor performance with a GPU that old in newer versions of Dolphin. - https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2014/01/17/...p-the-VSH/

Unfortunately, until this is fixed all you can do is use older versions (with the older driver) to avoid problems. Sorry dude. While I'm at it, upgrade your machine dude. CPU and GPU. You're going to have a lot of speed problems with that machine.

Ah, shame on me for not searching well enough. Thank you for the information.

I added this in an edit around the time you replied.

You'll want to use versions with the vertex streaming hack still present if you want any kind of decent OGL performance on that GPU.
