hey, I tried running dolphin for the first time today, and when I try to open a game I get a "can't create opengl renderer, you might be missing some required opengl extensions" I am using Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family for my video card, I know it is weak but I am pretty sure it support opengl so...what is going on? how can I fix this?

also, for some reason the emulator doesn't recognize the dx9 plugin, the plugin is in the folder, but it is not there in the configure menu you know? I am using the lastest build, for 64 bits

Well since what ive read on other forums Theres only 2 Fixes
1: get a better video card ( Not Cheap)
2: Run Dolphin with DXwnd.

Only options

yeah but how do can I choose to use the DX plugin if it is not selectable in the configuration? it is there in the plugin folders, but the only selectable one is openGL for some evil reason...and my card was supposed to support openGL in the first place >.>
oh well, I guess I will just play the games on my wii

I started playing it yesterday =p but playing on the keyboard sucks so....also, I do have audio, I guess it was fixed? I don't want to keep playing, I want my GC control so I can do it the proper way

I had the same problem with the OpenGL renderer. After doing all of the suggestions, they couldn't figure out why my machine--completely ready to play--wasn't able to run a single game. After that, no more advice came.

Hopefully they can resolve whatever unintended bug in the next release

Yeah the wind waker sound issue was fixed not too long ago, but not completely. Occasionally there is still some sound mess. Still requires a decently powerful machine to play properly anyways.
