Everytime i start the emulator it says my 3d accelerator is too old - idkmybffjill - 04-28-2009
i checked it this topic has been posted and it wasn't, so i am assuming it is my personal problem. I updated my graphics card and that doesn't fix the problem. Is it my Card in general or what? Please help.

RE: Everytime i start the emulator it says my 3d accelerator is too old - idkmybffjill - 04-28-2009
it's an intel chipset,i forgot which on because i am not currently at my gaming computer
sorry about that.

well if your gaming pc has an intel chipset then you won't be able to use the opengl plugin
(integrated graphics chipsets don't support opengl 2.1 
)

Intel Chipsets are usually useless with Dolphin's OpenGL plugin, check requirement thread

Update all drivers for your system
Update your BIOS, DirectX
Latest Windows updates
This is basic stuff everyone should do at least once a month!
