Question

[eliahu2004]

Can Dolphin Emulator work on my video card which it's name is:

Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model64/Model 64 Pro


if yes,How i sitting the emulator?

if not,why?

 

[PsyMan]

It will work but it will have severe gfx errors with most of the working games because your card doesn't support pixel shaders and the emulator is still on preliminary stage.

 

[eliahu2004]

But the game Super Smash Bros Mellee will work on my card?

 

[PsyMan]

It will have gfx errors and it will be very slow as most of the games, it may also hang before or after you start the game.

EDIT: There is a compatibility thread. You can see if the specific game is compatible if you look there.

 

[DOGG]

Even if the emulator was 100% compatible with everything, your card wouldnt show shit. It's not even good for old games. And you expect it to show gamecube graphics.

 

[Square]

It's not that bad. I have the same graphics card as that dude and I can almost play bloody roar.

 

[Knuckles]

Just don't try to run games like Doom3 at full quality

Dolphin will run on a TNT2, but since the GFX plugin uses DX9 and PS2.0 in most of the games, you won't be able to see those effect. some bugs will appear such as the hud iin ZWW, black and white videos, lots of other colors will not display ect. Just look in the screenshot section, and look for shots of people with a GF4MX, GF2MX or lower.

Yep thats me :icecream:

is The problem of my card and SSBM (Super Smash Bros Melee) can be fix or not?

 

[Gladiac0190]

hey boy... a tnt2 is only capable of directx7. dolphin needs version 9 of dx. gracas with dx8 support are also have big problems rendering gc-games in dolphin since dolphin uses dx9 shaders which are not included in the elder standard.

your tnt2 wont work! This thing is from 1998 or 1999, what do you expect.

sorry for being inpolite, but its really clear like crystal...

Better Idea!
It's a great console, support BigN for more great games!

 

[jonn]

I got a gf4mx and I have dx9 :huh:
Is that why it can't do anything remotley 3d anymore. lain:

 

[ickle_moi]

this is what youd see with a DX9 card :happy:
(grabbed from dolphin teaser) but it still runs slow

DX is not a video card. o_o

 

[Knuckles]

DX is not a video card. o_o

You misread what he said, he meant that it's how it look using a DX9 card, a card that has full HW support of DX9 (GeforceFX/6 series and I dunno for the radeon under the X600/X800 series)
