cgd3d9.dll is not built with dolphin. (at least the release version). My advice would be to simply delete the dll as it is not needed, and obviously has a performance impact. (I just tested it myself, and there is a noticeable drop with the dll present.

Cool my thoughts exactly as far as removing the dll at the minimum. Im thinking it was needed many revisions ago but not lately?

- Status changed from New to Invalid
This dll is not used anymore (and for a long time already)
It makes no sense to have it there.
