First go here click on download. make an account if needed. choose you bit ( 32 or 64)get version 3286.

Try this and see if that helps. Always best to get the latest version.

ok ill try it thanks.

3 errors come up

error loading plugin/plugin_padsimple.dll:cant read info

cant init any PAD plugins

couldnt init any core.
check your configurations.

Then is must be a dx issue. Dolphin is based on directx9, so you must have vista dx 9 installed. I dont know where to get the vista version or if the normal dx9 will work. But you need to have dx 9 on there for dolphin to run.

From what I know Vista comes with DX9/DX10 support already So if its on there then you just need to update it. So look for the direct X 9 latest.

i have directx10 and the error also only comes up when i try to run mario sunshine btw, just opening dolphin shows no errors.

 

[ulaoulao]

running dx10 with out dx9 on vista will give you problems no matter what.

ok i downloaded 9x and now its loads w/o error but this comes up when the game loads.

cant create opengl renderer. you might be missing some requireed opengl extensions, check the logs for more info.

LOL, comon dude. If you are using DirrectX dont you think you should be selecting it??? Change openGl to DirrectX is your video settings.

look in my sig, if u don't want to download/install DX9 drivers, downloads the required dlls and put them in dolphin folder(newer revs require d3dx_39 or _40), for pad plugin download xinput_#.dll(# is probably 3).
