Black screen when trying to load any game on Dolphin - Ćulibrk - 05-03-2022
This is my first time using Dolphin so Im not really sure how to to some things... When I try to start any game it just shows black screen. I tried some tutorials on YouTube but not a single solution worked.

So let's start with the basics. Create a text file named "portable" (with file type it is portable.txt) and place it next to Dolphin's EXE. Run Dolphin, and you'll see a totally vanilla version of Dolphin without any of your settings or saves. Now, without touching anything, click Open and use it to run one of your games. Does it still only show a black screen?
BTW, when you are done testing just delete portable.txt and your saves and settings will be back! You can also delete the generated User folder as well.
