Super Mario Galaxy 2 Direct3d9 black screen - soratheultima - 05-23-2010

so my gamestop suprisingly had super mario galaxy 2 so i bought it and im so excited to play it i don't wanna use open gl because it is slower...
so all what i get is a black screen with perfect sound. i tried open gl and it works but of course the frame rate is slower

specs :
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Processor 3.0GHz
4096MB ddr2 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
1000 MB

(using wiimote through bluetooth)

RE: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Direct3d9 black screen - Billiard26 - 05-23-2010

2.0 is not the newest. Have either of you tried a recent svn build from http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html ?
I haven't experienced any black screens in SMG2.

You need to switch to OpenGL plugin for boss sequences in both smg games. No way to fix it and it's a nvidia exclusive problem.

Otherwise you just get audio but screen will black out (like you described).
