Hi-
I'm new to Dolphin, yesterday I downloaded dolphin 5.0 and successfully ran SSBM on it. Today it wouldn't work, it would show a bunch of yellow text and gave me a warning and just stopped working. So I uninstalled it and downloaded dolphin 5.0-9155 and there was a similar issue, it would give me yellow text about my video card and crash immediately after the words disappeared, I would like to play SSBM. Help!
Have you tried updating your graphics drivers or switching the graphics backend to directX?
Can I update my graphic drivers for free?

Yes.

At the manufacturer's website. Since you haven't listed your GPU in your profile, I don't know which manufacturer that would be.
They're up to date but my Dolphin hasn't fixed itself in the slightest.
The black screen usually means the graphics backend can't be initialized. Can you try enabling logging and seeing if anything obvious is wrong.
I toggled everything for logging and this was the text that appeared:

UPDATE: Switching the graphics backend to Direct3D Works perfectly
