Hi there, i have a problem and i cannot finy any helping threads. I cant play any game with the direct3D9 Plugin. Everytime I see a black screen and I can hear the sound. My directX ist up to date. I use Windows 7 x64 and I have installed the newest nvidia drivers for my Gforce 9800GTX.

Can anyone help me?
Im also quite new to dolphin but you could try to enable / disable random options in the graphics menu, You could also look up your game at the dolphin wiki site because they sometimes have recommended settings listed.

It does not work Sad I have tried ANYthing
What game? Every game?

Ooh btw, use the newest version of Dolphin Wink.
I always use the newest Build of Dolphin and yes its in every game. For example i tried smg and this has to work in d3d. I have a friend and I use the same settings he does. And on his PC it works.
man, i had the same issue (sorry for my bad english, i'm from brazil), you should look on that page of the forum the explain the requirments to run dophin, there is a link to a microsoft page that you will download e software which will update your directx, YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS DON'T MATTER YOUR DIRECTX! I have here the directx 11, that comes with windows 7 and i had to update it anyway, and after I could use the directx plugin ;D

No, it is usually the problem even if you have a brand new computer.

Because the official update includes additional or changed dll files that aren't included by default in windows 7/vista.

Dolphin doesn't often work straight away with standard system files, many/most people have to update dx9 files from M$ site even if they have latest dx11 on the computer. Didn't work for me either even after a fresh install of 7.
Yeah but in this case its not the problem Sad
What is the game called, might not be supported on dolphin yet.
