Video Card Compatibility - vdsvpsdotcom - 05-14-2013
Regardless of the version of Dolphin I'm running (e.g. 3.0, 3.5), I immediatley get a Clearing Code Cache message and the application crashes. I'm starting to wonder if it is simply my graphics card that is the issue. Does anyone know from the following whether or not I should expect for Dolphin to work?

RE: Video Card Compatibility - garrlker - 05-14-2013
Your IGP isn't powerful enough.
RE: Video Card Compatibility - admin89 - 05-14-2013
Quote:my graphics cardIt's not even a "card" , just old onboard GPU (a tiny chip that locate on your motherboard)
It won't work well with Dolphin and that onboard GPU is only capable of playing multimedia like video , gaming is out of the question (except some web games or some ancient games)
RE: Video Card Compatibility - garrlker - 05-14-2013
Since you have a mobile chipset I can assume you're probably on a laptop. Sorry but I don't know if you can fix that error. Try open gl though. And also
Quote: Bare Minimum Requirements for openGLRegardless of performance here are the minimum video card requirements just to get dolphin to run:
Nvidia: Geforce 6 series or higher
ATI: HD2000 series or higher
Intel: GMA 4500 series or higher, although you may still encounter problem
RE: Video Card Compatibility - MayImilae - 05-14-2013
Incorrect, at least since the GLSL merger. GLSL requires OpenGL 3 support. So that puts it at:
Nvidia GeForce 8xxx or higher
ATI HD2000 or higher
Intel HD Graphics 6th generation or higher (still have problems)
It's beyond what his laptop is capable of. He could potentially use 3.5 though, with the old OpenGL backend.
RE: Video Card Compatibility - vdsvpsdotcom - 05-14-2013
Ok, so the Clearing Cache Code related cache is probably related to the incompatibility of my video chip?
RE: Video Card Compatibility - admin89 - 05-14-2013
Leave his GPU aside , his CPU is horrible for most games . If was him , i would give up or buy/build a gaming computer
I can say Intel HD 3000 or HD 4000 is the minimum requirement for Dolphin at lowest graphic settings (Graphic intensive games like SMG,XenoBlade, Zelda SS are another story though) , a slower/older GPU is hopeless
RE: Video Card Compatibility - garrlker - 05-14-2013
I'd say the same, but I don't know what his cpu is. I had a laptop with the exact same igp/ram specs(it could run a earlier revision of dolphin with luigis mansion at 8fps at the title screen) and it had a celeron at 1.6ghz. So I can guess it's really weak. But yeah, for $300 you can get build a pc that gets decent-great performance on many games.
Edit: With HLE audio. LLE would be to demanding.
