Help! New Super Mario Bros Wii Problems! - Mario-Fan - 06-04-2010

Hi guys!
I have a huge problem.
I need your help!

When I try to run New Super Mario Bros Wii on the Dolphin-r5474 Emulator, I hear the audio, but the screen is black. The game is running but I don`t see anything. This happenes also when I try to play Super Smash Bros Melee.

Computer Details :
Computer : ASUS X57VN-AS025C
Operating System : Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Hard Disk : 320 GB
RAM : 4 GB
Graphic Card : NVidia GeForce 9650M GT, 1 GB VRAM <-- I guess this causes the problem. When I choose OpenGL as graphics plugin I see and hear the game but it`s very slow - between 9 and 20 FPS

Dolphin Details :
Build : r5474
Config :
- Enable Dual Core : Enabled
- Enable Idle Skipping : Enabled
- HLE the IPL : Enabled
- CPU Emulator Engine --> JIT recompiler
DX9 Graphics Plugin Settings :
- Disable Fog : Enabled
- Enable FEB copy --> To texture

Hope you can help me.
I need New Super Mario Bros Wii running to test the stages, which I`ve edited with Reggie.

OpenGL : download lastest Nvidia driver Or try D3D plugin (must update directx Feb 2010)
Don't use lastest build or slower than halfspeed,try this build
64 bit
32 bit

The problem with downloading a new driver for my video card is that it screws up my display by drawing "random glitchy graphics". Here`s an example :

So I have to use an old driver.

I`ve also tried the settings on that site...it still doesn`t work :\

But when I go to graphics setting, a textarea says : "DirectX9 is up to date and ready to be used!". Do I still need an update?

Vista uhm...can't tell windows vista or video card not compatible with driver causing this
Better run on windows 7 64 bit

Yup, Vista just fucks everything up...


RE: Help! New Super Mario Bros Wii Problems! - Mario-Fan - 06-04-2010

Well, I don`t get it...
It doesn`t work with the Dolphin-r5474 emulator, when I select the DirectX9 Plugin.
But when I open Dolphin-r2996 and play Super Smash Bros Brawl/Melee with the OpenGL-Plugin, it works somehow (still some errors)...

Isn`t there a way to speed up the emulator by using OpenGL Plugin on Windows?


RE: Help! New Super Mario Bros Wii Problems! - Mario-Fan - 06-06-2010

Well, I can see the game and hear the sound with OpenGL.
The only problem is the slow speed.
What settings do I need to speed up the game when I`m using OpenGL-Plugin on Windows?

I think your problem is in the drivers. You have to download from nvdia site and the drivers are for FAMILY 9 M . don´t forget. If i´m wrong sorry but i think you may have install the drivers for the geforce standart and not the notebook editions.

The site has problems either way i will put the link here.

I hope i helped somehow

Well, I just selected "Copy EFB to GL texture (hack)" instead of "Copy EFB to system ram (real)".
So it kinda works faster...the game still doesn`t run fluently, but it`s playable Wink

To the drivers : I have the old driver now.
This screen that I showed you was made last year.
Don`t worry, everything is ok with my laptop now Smile

And I won`t install any new drivers.
Because if I do then it`s really hard to re-install the old driver (the new driver makes my display freeze 2-3 mins after logging in).
