how do you fix a booting message problem

**vick2008** · February 25th, 2006, 15:15

Whenever i try to open a game with dolphin, a booting message shows up, and nothing happens afterward. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

What game?

**vick2008** · February 25th, 2006, 20:44

The game is Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4. When i try to open the file, it shows two messages. One of the messages is "booting" and the other one is "Direct3D Device Creation failed" I have no idea of what to do. Thanks in advance.

What graphics card do you have? Or rather, graphics chip? Direct3D device creation failed usually refers to the fact that your "card" cannot render in Direct3D or you don't have DirectX9 installed.

My System Spec is:
OS: Windows XP Home. Processor: Intel Pentium III,~730MHz. Graphic Card: Intel(R)82810E Graphics Controller. Memory: 190MB RAM. DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0C (4.09.0000.0904). Sound Card: Intel(R) Integrated Audio.

Is the problem with my Graphic card? or my sound card? How can i fix the problem.

To put it bluntly, you can fix the problem by buying an actual, good video card. The Intel chip does not even support the pixel shader version (2.0 IIRC) that is required by Dolphin.

Furthermore, like I said earlier the "Direct3D device creation failed" message points to to the fact that you might have some serious problems with your drivers for that chip. Do any other fully 3D applications (emulators, games or otherwise) work without problems?

Yeah. My computer plays pokemon stadium 2 with Project 64. Although i had to change the color quality from 24 bit to 16 bit, it worked pretty well. Is there anything i can do without changing my video card?

Your CPU is way, WAY underpowered for any kind of GC emulating.

Buy a cube is the best advice you're going to get.

Well, everyone has an underpowered CPU, albeit his is even more so. Still, no matter how you look at it, the real root of the problem lies in the graphics chip.

...

But yeah. The CPU is slow.

Thank you.

I'll try to get a new graphic chip, but it may not be anytime soon. Right now, i don't have $200 to buy a new graphic chip.
