Emulator

Sorry for the late reply.
The Problem is not fixed. I think the problem is the bad implementation of the new nvidia 320M Chipset in the Emulator.
I've tryed dolphin on a nvidia 9400M Mac and on the new Nvidia 320M Mac.

• The 320M Mac cant access the graphics tab... (crash) Cant figure it out.

Help is appreciated

did you delete ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin ?
it sounds like the plugin path is invalid for whatever reason.

This will be quite difficult to fix without access to a Mac with 320M video.

However, please attach the output of the "glewinfo" and "glxinfo" commands run on the 320M machine.

Maybe something will stand out.

thanks for your participation!
Unfortunately I've removed everything considering dolphin including all developer tools because it didn't worked :/

Therefore i will have to install the dependencies again and give you the results. I will let you know later.

thanks again

So here you go.
Installed all dependencies and compiled dolphin without any trouble.
Dolphin starts, but i cant access the "graphics" Tab as usual.

Here is the glewinfo:
Unfortunately i cant give any "glxinfo" because i cant get any result when i'm pasting it...
Additional i've pasted the Apple Report which i get when the emulator crashes.

I've attached the results as textdocuments as they are too large to paste them here

Really hope for your help.

That happened also to me a while ago:
Just open first the"Config", then the choose the "Plugins" tab, and then choose the "Dolphin Open GL" plugin for Graphics

Tryed this allready :/
Hope soren can help me.

So I've tryed some things and just started a game. It starts even when the Graphics Settings arnt working...
But because of i cant set anything it runs very slow and unplayble.
Have you sorted something out?
thanks

Please attach the output of the "glewinfo" and "glxinfo" commands run on the 320M machine.

Couldnt you see my comments i made some days ago?
I posted the attanchments...

But here you go again:

Additional i've pasted the Apple Report which i get when the emulator crashes.

Please confirm that you got the message

Got it now, thanks. I'm no OpenGL guru, so don't expect too much from me, but it's good to have the information available.

OK thanks. I hope you or someone else can take it..
Lately it needs to be fixed anyway when the new generations of macs are coming out.

but thanks for your participation

Yeah, I want a new 27" iMac myself, but I am holding out for one with a factory-installed SSD :-)

BTW, something you can try in the meantime is to change graphics settings on the 9400M Mac and then move over ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/Config/gfx_open.ini to the problem machine. That might give an indication of which graphics features cause problems.

Yeah, I've tryed that :)
But i set the Settings in the .ini file and messed it up :/
Will try your option.

Could it possibly be that opengl is more affective to slowdowns?
I played New Super Mario Bros on the 320M Machine over BootCamp and got 100 Speed at 720p...
When i start the Game with standard Settings on my OSX it is unplayble slow.
That makes me afraid of trying hard to get this thing to run if i will be getting slow speeds anyway...
Will see

Such dramatic slowdowns are inevitably the result of code bugs one way or the other.

There are also differences in performance between OpenGL (and DirectX) implementations, but there we are talking about more like a factor of two at most, which is not such a big deal.

OK good to know.
But i need to confirm that the emu works well itself. It saves the Settings and can open everything.
So the Topic can be changed in "Compiled On Mac, but cant access the Graphic Settings"

BTW, I assume that the VideoSoftware plugin config dialog works?

Software rendering is obviously too slow to be useful, but it is a useful data point.

You mean the Display Tab in the Settings?
If so, then yes it works well. Everything works beside the Graphic Settings.

Oh and the only thing thats not working too is the tab of the second Wiimote in the wiimote plugin. But i dont care about this one

No, I mean selecting the software video rendering plugin in the Plugins tab and then opening Graphics Settings.

Oh.
No when i do this there is happening nothing. But the Emu doesn't crash...

Just tried to move the settings from the working machine to mine and opened new super mario.
Result is that the game runs at full speed until i come to the Savegame selection... there i'm getting about 14% Speed...
Is that mean that its not optimized for opengl or something?

You mean the Graphics window simply doesn't open when you click Graphics after selecting the Software Renderer plugin?

That's interesting and could make it easier to debug, but still rather inconvenient without having the machine at hand.

Oh wait, that's actually the expected behavior for the software renderer plugin.

Don't mind me.. :-)

yeah :)
This emu turns me crazy... Open gl simply seems not the right thing to run with dolphin.
I cant even get megaman 10 to run nearly smooth... On the windows machine over boot camp i could get it full speed.
Where is the problem? :(

If you can't deal with bugs, don't run prerelease software :-)

On Windows it runs well..
But i dont want boot camp because i dont want to deal with windows..

i have had to say this many times...NEW nVidia chipsets on mac crash the opengl plugin config.. even if you configure it manually it still wont work

I have this issue too, but not with a new nVidia chipset, but with an old NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, the only one on my Unibody Macbook (the one just before they were also called Pro)

I assume its time for serious osx updates.
The 9400M is working fine on a Mac mini i've tested.

I'm having the same problem on a MacBook Pro with Nvidia 320M. The config window for the OpenGL plugin crashes Dolphin and the config window for the Software Renderer Plugin is not opening. Tested with revs 5739 and 5765.

Are you sure these two problems are related?

The configuration window is rather smaller than a 1280x800 Macbook display anyway.

The menu bar and the dock are accounted for, too. On my macbook I have to move my dock away to be able to click "Close":

You can tell by looking at the backtrace from the Apple Report, that it's something wrong with wxWidgets:
