Hi, I'm wanting to run Dolphin emulator on my PC, and upon launching I get errors with OpenGL saying I need at least version 3.1. Switching my graphics mode in the emulator to Direct3D launches the application, but the game's title screen is black (I can still hear the music and I saw the Gamecube BIOS and the Nintendo splash on the game). I'm trying to see if OpenGL will fix the black screen issue but I need a newer version to do it.

From what I've read it depends quite a lot on the hardware, so I've filled out my PC's details in the System Specs button at the bottom of the post. Any way to get the drivers up to date will be of great help! :-)

That laptop will more than likely not be able to do what you want to do. You either need a more powerful laptop with dedicated graphics or just get a desktop with a dedicated GPU. Also, I see your GPU is only 256 MB of RAM. That won't work at all for Dolphin.

In case you haven't seen the requirements. Dolphin Emulator - Performance Guide

Ah okay, I'll try on another PC then. Thanks!
