Black screen problem - bill - 05-16-2009

Hello Buddys!

I have a problem with dolphin 3089 ans also older releases. When I start my games (Spots Party or Naked brother band) I just hear the sound of Sports Party (I hear no sound with Naked Band Brothers, but I can sse the fist images "don't throw your mote into the screen..."), but the screen is black. I tried OpenGl and Direct3D with several preferences. But nothing works...

Of course I searched this and other forums for solutions. Seems as if not many people habe this problem. Some solutions seemd to work for other: disable AeroFly and transparency effects on Windows. But it doesn't help. I updated display drivers...

I have an Intel Dual Core E6750 and ATI 4800 series with Windows Vista 36bit.

I tried it on another system. With an Nvidia 9800. The same problem occures.

Hope someone knows the trigger..

Thank you in advacne.

Greetz

OMG you have windows 36bit!!!!


RE: Black screen problem - bill - 05-16-2009

Yes, computers on Area 51 have this special CPU technology...

OMG. About your problem though, it's one of 3 things.

1. Bad Configuration
2. Bad hardware
3. Problem with dolphin


RE: Black screen problem - bill - 05-16-2009

Ok, thanks to your analysis Smile
I just guessed that there is a problem with ... something Smile

Would be glad if somebody has more hints.

#2 is out of the question so whats your configuration?


RE: Black screen problem - bill - 05-17-2009

First I tired the standard configuration.
off = dual core
on = idle skipping
off = cheats

on = HLE the BIOS all time
on = enable the JIT dynarec
on = lock threads to cores
on = optimize quntizers
on = LLE DSP on thread

off = conform on stop
on = user panic handlers

OpenGl setting =
everything off, except Auto scale and Native resolution


I tried several combinations. Heard that optimize quntizers may cause problems. And i alöso deactiveated multi core. Nothing happens. I disabled other thing, till nearby everything was diabled.


Where is the difference between Dolphin.exe and DolphinIL.exe?


RE: Black screen problem - cmccmc - 05-17-2009

DolphinIL.exe is faster but has more errors because it runs on a different core so Till we figure out whats wrong use Dolphin.exe not IL
