GCEmu Problem

Hokage-Sama · January 26th, 2006

Hello, I'm Hokage-Sama. I'm from Seville, in Spain, and I have a question

Whenever I initiate a game with the GCEmu, this message goes out for me:
"Sixteen texture image units required! " How can I solve this problem?

PD: Sorry, my english is too bad...

**@ruantec** · January 27th, 2006

well i don´t know exactly what it is but i think your graphic card is the problem. could you tell me witch card do you have?

**EmuManiac** · January 27th, 2006

Same error msg. with nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64MB AGP.

Works with ATI Radeon 9800pro 128MB AGP.

Hokage-Sama · January 27th, 2006

My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 440 128MB

bugo · January 28th, 2006

same problem here... mine is a GeForce 4 Ti 4400

Clements · January 28th, 2006

I think that a DX9-compliant card is required.

GeForce 4 Ti = DX8.1 compliant
GeForce 4 MX = DX7 compliant.

RockmanForte · January 28th, 2006

Mine is GeForce 4 MX as well. But mine is DX9..is that bad ?

Clements · January 28th, 2006

As I said, GeForce 4 MX = DX7 compliant. No GF4 MX supports any shaders, so no DX9 support.

CocodaMonkey · January 28th, 2006

Rockmangames, you may be confusing the version of directX you have installed with your card. You can still install directx 9 and have a card that is only DX7 compliant. In this case the version installed doesn't matter. An Geforce 4 MX card is only DX7 compliant. Although having DX9 installed isn't a bad thing. It's really what you should have installed, it just won't make the card DX9 compliant.

RockmanForte · January 28th, 2006

Ohhh! Yeah, I understand now. Thank you, CocodaMonkey.

abm3000 · January 28th, 2006

Ive got a ATI Radeon 7200 64MB and it says the same thing but i have the latest version of DirectX...

Clements · January 28th, 2006

That's because it's only DX7 compliant.

You need a GeForceFX 5200 or ATi Radeon 9500 minimum. Time to update that old hardware.

Luengo · January 28th, 2006

Yep, I have an old GeForce 3 and get the same error. As Clements said, it's time to upgrade our graphic cards

budbud · January 28th, 2006

I get a "Missing shader extensions"

Clements · January 28th, 2006

Looks like you are also in need of an upgrade.

RockmanForte · January 28th, 2006

To the newbies, it is better to read first before you have any problem with your graphic cards

Upgrade, thats all!

I just dont understand why dolphin my zelda looks awesome and this one with my geforce 4 ti i cant run or emulate the shaders... maybe we need just to wait for the coders... right?

CocodaMonkey · January 30th, 2006

Well Bugo, one thing which is kinda important here is that zelda does not work properly on your video card with dolphin. If you look in the correct direction and dodge shadows it's possible to get it to have a nice screen, but if you actually run around you'll get huge black spots on your screen where nothing is drawn. (I used to have your exact card). You don't get these massive black areas if you have a better card.

Although if you want to get technical someone could make a gamecube emulator which would work off a Geforce 2 (or lower in theory). The thing is you'd have even more work for the CPU to do and would be even slower. Since computers are likely to continue to get faster before GC emulation is really playable I don't think many people are worried about supporting older cards, even though it's possible in theory.

Adding this to the minimum requirements ...

bugo · February 1st, 2006
