Emulator Issues #467

SC mode doesn't work with OpenGL plugin when card is running in SLI mode
0%
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- open one of the newer revisions of dolphin (~1623 and above)
- disable DC mode
- try to run a game
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of games running, I get the usual 'Cannot create OpenGL renderer'
error, then Dolphin crashes. The problem seems to go away when I disable
SLI mode in the NVIDIA control panel.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Revision 1740 x86, vista x64 Ultimate, also since this is relevant I have a
GeForce 9800 GX2
Please provide any additional information below.
Please fix this problem as turning SLI mode off is easy enough but
re-enabling it requires a computer restart.

Not sure if any of the devs have SLI
Would be good to test with Crossfire as well.

Can you say which revision does work with SLI?
Updated by coisbot almost 16 years ago
I know 1555 works with SLI but 1623 does not, so it's something between those
revisions. I'll find out exactly which one causes the error.

There appear to be more people with this problem[1]. It would be nice if you could
paste the contents of your error/exception logs as well.
Though I'm seeing "suspicious" commits (r1592, r1593, r1615, r1622), it could also be
related to your own system not supporting some GL extensions anymore. But I don't
know that for sure.
It could also be related to having an outdated version of GLew or SDL in trunk.
