Emulator

It seems semantics VPOS was start added in shader model 3.0.
So, shader model 2.0 is not support VPOS.

OpenGL plugin still work then?

So the revision that broke this really is revision 6957, it changed from POSITION to VPOS which again was added in SM3. Thing would be to check if we are using SM2 and switch back to POSITION even though it would be less accurate but still allow the broken FX series to run the game.

Are you sure the 8600 is getting the EXACT same error? If so, for some reason it is using SM2 when it clearly supports SM4.

Also, is your DirectX9 up to date?

Btw, FX5200 and FX 5500 don't properly support SM 2.0 so it's likely things will be broken when using those cards. Get a Geforce 6xxx at least, I think there may be a PCI Geforce 6xxx if the lack of a AGP or PCI-e slot is keeping you from upgrading.

i read this and im confused, what am i physically supposed to do to fix this issue

use r7585

im looking at all these codes in r7585 and still dont know what to do (sorry, im a dumbass), what am i supposed to do after clicking the r7585 link

http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/download.html
Use r7585 or later...

ok, i did that, but now i get a message that keeps saying "CreatePixelShaderFromByteCode failed at Src/D3DShader.cpp 84"

What GPU are you using?

Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Controller 0

i am having same problem. have same gpu.. help

Have same problem with Clash of The Titans :(

umm hey i have the same error too im using dolphin 3.0 and i wanna play princess disney enchanted journey plz can u help ??

T_T

bodeymoh, get a better GPU. Pixel shader errors are pretty much always caused by a weak, old GPU.

Also, that game? Seriously? >~>

i'm playing pokemon colosseum (well tryin to) and i had this error but i re-downloaded it and it's fixed but i cant see anything on the screen? any help? all i can hear is the music and the sounds when i press the buttons etc. 0_0

kieranlu, Colosseum works fine on my computer. Come back with a better graphics card - Dolphin requires one that supports at least Shader Model 2.0 (heck, it probably requires more than that by now).

Hey my name is Darius. I was recently playing my favorite game Super Smash Bros. Melee on my dolphin emulator. While I was playing windows kept popping up saying that there were errors having to do with the VPOS Semantics and something about pixels. What do I do to fix it?

You need a video card with Shader Model 3 support or better.
Youre current video card is too terrible to use with Dolphin

how about Geforce4 MX 440 with AGP8X?
