Whats your video card?

Tatsuya2000 · February 6th, 2007

Mobil Intel 945GM express graphic card, support shader 2.0, SSE3 128Mb.

I can assure you the issue lies with your onboard display. While you may have Pixel Shader 2 support, your card still lacks many other features needed by ZeroGS. Your only option is to try gsdx9, and even then, there's no guarantee that will work.

I checked around my express 945GM most features that top grafic cards do except: shader 3.0....
Is there any other way? i can run gsfx 9.0 fine but i can't seem to play it with some of my games.

you have PS 3.0 ? hhm strange...
latest directX installed?

Most people do have problems with the Intel GMA onboard video cards. I don't think there's a solution yet.... Maybe try updating the drivers for your video card....

i got everything update , except the window itself, which i will get in 2 weeks. I hope it's not the card issue because my laptop can't be upgrade, here is the card features:

Performance 3D Up to 4 pixels per clock rendering
Microsoft* DirectX* 9 Hardware Acceleration Features:
Pixel Shader 2.0
Volumetric Textures
Shadow Maps
Slope Scale Depth Bias
Two-Sided Stencil
Microsoft* DirectX* 9 Vertex Shader 3.0 and Transform and Lighting supported in software through highly optimized Processor Specific Geometry Pipeline (PSGP)
Texture Decompression for DirectX* and OpenGL*
OpenGL* 1.4 support plus ARB_vertex_buffer and EXT_shadow_funcs extensions and TexEnv shader caching

So does ZeroGS/PCSX2 work? If not, sorry....
