Switching to DX9 - blacksox88 - 03-09-2010

Hey, guys, i just started using dolphin over the weekend, and after some hours searching the forums and fiddling with the settings, i've decided to switch from openGL to the dx9 plugin. however, when i go to the plugins tab in options, the only option i get for graphics plugin is OpenGL. i have the original directx9 plugin, and a second dx9 plugin that i downloaded, stored into the plugin folder, but it still wont appear in the actual program. do u think you know what the problem is? thanks!

======= Runtime Library Requirements =======
Dolphin needs you have to have the libraries listed below installed.

[Windows]
-MS Visual C++ Runtime 2008 SP1: This fixes the "side by side" / "application config" & model errors
Microsoft VC++ 2008 SP1 Redist x86 - For 32bit Windows
Microsoft VC++ 2008 SP1 Redist x64 - For 64bit Windows

-The DirectX March 2009 Runtime: This fixes the plugin loading errors
Note: THIS MEANS UPDATE YOUR DIRECTX EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE VERSION 9.0c or 10 or 10.1!!!!!!
Microsoft DirectX Updater



DirectX versions are separated from each other
