Graphics Problem: "GLSL 1.30" not supported? - wmws - 01-13-2016
Hi
I'm trying to run Dolphin 4.0.7840 on Ubuntu Linux 15.10. I tried to load a game and this error occured:
GPU: OGL ERROR: Need at least GLSL 1.30 GPU: Does your video card support OpenGL 3.0? GPU: Your driver supports GLSL 1.20
Failed to compile vertex shader: /home/adrian/.dolphin-emu/Dump/bad_vs_0000.txt Debug info (Intel Open Source Technology Center, Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset , 2.1 Mesa 11.0.2): 0:1(10): error: GLSL 1.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, and 1.00 ES
My questions:
1. Is this a hardware limitation or can I just find some driver or something to support GLSL 1.30?
2. If it is not a hardware limitation, will using the same computer with Windows 8 work?

Dolphin hasn't supported OpenGL 2 since the GLSL rewrite in 3.5-1025. So the GMA series of integrated graphics, which is OpenGL 2 only, is currently not supported. :/
So um, you need a proper video card, one that supports at least DX10 and OpenGL3. And ideally a better CPU too! That old Core 2 Duo wouldn't do very well at all...
