Emulator

Can't repro either.

I can also reproduce this on one of my computers, but on the other not. So, it really seems to be something with hardware.

For reference, I was trying on a Radeon 3850 on Windows 7 x64.

s/hardware/drivers/ probably.

Are you using an AMD GPU?

I've installed the latest driver!

I've deleted comment 7, because I provided wrong information. This is the good one: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/hipJdMAs7SFZKIAPT7aJsMw. To be sure I will check this issue on that other better computer again.

trying to duplicate rigth now

With 3.5-1755 on windows 7 x64 + HD6850(driver ver 13.4) i can't reproduce this or may be is fixed by this revision. Dolphin asks if you want to stop the emulation no crash at all, just tried it all defaults but setting d3d9 backend. Maybe some option you have enabled is causing this.

Can't reproduce on Windows 7 x64 + HD6770 + driver 13.4 either.

@neobrain: did you forget to disable the DX9 debug runtime maybe? :)

I can't reproduce it. any other info on the error?

@delroth: Enabling a debug runtime shouldn't cause crashes.

That said, it's possible that I have it enabled. I'll check next time I'm booting Windows.

@CJodioTo: I'd say I know how to configure Dolphin, but thanks for the feedback!

@neobrain: sure, just trying to track possible causes.

Any way you could provide a backtrace? Should be trivial if you're using your own builds (and almost trivial if you're using a buildbot build - see the symbol server docs that... I need to write :( ).

@NeoBrainX
OK man, but as delroth said, are you using you're own compile build or one from the buildbot?

i think that the way to go for this cases will be to register the actual device descriptor and reset the chache if the device is changed

Similar to what we do with save states.

This is still a problem for me. I tried deleting the contents of User/ShaderCache and it didn't help. The problem also happens when fullscreening the window or resizing. Should I open a new ticket?

Windows Vista 64 bit, Intel(R) G33/31 Express Chipset Family, Direct 3D9, Dolphin 3.5 64 bit.
I have done a little programming, but never built dolphin. How would I create a debug build?

Follow the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/wiki/Windows_Build and if you have any problems, come to our IRC chan and ask for help.

Did you try the latest development release btw? If it only crashes in 3.5, then that's about zero information.

The latest development release crashes upon opening a game

I can confirm that this. Black screen on first start too. Never used to happen before. When I quit the game and then restart it, it works like it should until I close it and then it crashes.

Noticed it on 1700 master branch and 7149 master branch.

Nvidia gtx 670m 314.22 drivers, windows 7 home premium.

please can you give more information on the error, so i can try to reproduce?
