Emulator NESTOPIA UE won't load. "Found no display adapter"

Sonic Angel Knight · Jun 15, 2021

So, I been trying to find a fix for this issue for awhile with no luck. I hope someone else can try. Problem is this emulator worked for me before, but now it doesn't. I don't know why. This message pops up when I try to load it. I tried every version I can find and I get the same issue.

For the record, yes I'm using a laptop, it is fairly new by the way. It also has intel ultra HD Hardware with Nvidia GTX GPU. Both are updated to the latest versions as far as I'm aware. I use the intel driver support assistant and nvidia geforce experience to update the drivers.

So can anyone think of any ideas? So far, this is the only emulator with this problem. :blinka"

Have you tried manually choosing a display adapter to run it under? Follow this to manually set a GPU for it to run under: https://www.howtogeek.com/351522/how-to-choose-which-gpu-a-game-uses-on-windows-10/

Doesn't matter which one you choose, either is more than enough for Nestopia, so figure out if one of them will work.

I tried both, it didn't work at all. I don't know why.

No, I WAS using a sager laptop with a intel HD and nvidia rtx GPU. I just decided to stop using Nestopia and just use Mesen 2 instead.

You can fix "Found no display adapter" easily with dgVoodoo2.

Download dgVoodoo v2.81.3 and extract dgVoodoo2_81_3.zip\MS\x86\D3D9.dll into the folder with nestopia.exe. Put dgVoodooCpl.exe there as well.

It will work through DirectX11/12 and there you can select an adapter. It should automatically, but you can specify yours (not in Nestopia, but in dgVoodooCpl.exe, first tab). Proportions and resolution can be adjusted there as well.

If you have all the necessary drivers and updates that shouldn't show up. I'm using Nestopia on an old laptop running Windows 10 LTSC and no probs here (it is after all an NES emulator).
