New to Dolphin. Hardware Requirements - jhai_salvador - 03-14-2011
Hi! I am very happy with your emulator. I have successfully run WWE Wrestlemania XIX on your gamecube emulator.
Here is my hardware specs;
AMD Athlon II X2 250
ASRock N68C-S UCC
2GB DDR2
256 Integrated VC

Main menu is fine using OpenGL plugin but it is very slow and when I am using Direct3D9, main menu becomes Black but it is still running and much faster than OpenGL.

Do you think there is something wrong with my settings?
I am planing on buying a Video Card. Do you think this card is enough on it? http://www.palit.biz/main/vgapro.php?id=1312#spec

Well.
I got a GForce GT430 with DirectX11 Support on Windows 7.
And I figured out,that OpenGL runs alot smoother than direct3d9 and direct3d11 in EVERY game.

you also have to remember that a fast cpu is essential to run dolphin well. at the moment that x2 isn't doing you much good. you might want to look at upgrading that too.

Not to mention, integrated graphics are not normally very good, so you might want to look into upgrading that as well as your processor.

Well, I dont have plan on upgrading my cpu for now because i am satisfied with its speed and I dont have budget for it either. But Is this card enough to change that black screen on the game?
