Can't create opengl renderer. - michael46118 - 04-27-2009
I tried to play Luigi's Mansion but a warning sign came up saying
Can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions, check the logs for more info.
I opened the log but there were no opengl extensions.
What do I do?

download the drivers for your graphic card from the card providers website.
If on...
Windows: got to my computer and right-click. Select manage. Go to device manager. Then display adapters and right click on those. Select uninstall. Once uninstallation is complete you may be asked to restart your pc if so do it. If not then double click the drivers you downloaded and install them.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I have another question, I have this http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Chipsets/Q965-Q963/Q965-Q963-tools.htm, do I download both of the drivers?

I'm sorry but intel graphic cards arn't supported by dolphin.
sorry for the inconvenience.

unfortunately i use that same graphics chipset for playing on pcsx2
(your solution is to either use the old dx9 plugin (not the current one) or upgrade to a newer gpu), that is how i'm able to run it using that gpu

"can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions, check the logs for more info"
after closing the message, "Dolphin.exe has stopped working"
RE: Can't create opengl renderer. - LuisR14 - 04-30-2009
drivers updated?
