Geforce FX 5200 & iDeaS 1.0.2.6 beta

[Jegif]

Hello everybody

I'm trying to run the emulator but it says that i don't have vertex shader. I updated the drivers and FX5200 has 2 Vertex Shaders. What's wrong?

OK that makes the requirement even clearer

Shader Program 1.20 is made available in drivers supporting OpenGL 2.1, so you must install Forceware 150 or higher. Geforce FX cards do not get fully 2.1 support until the 160 drivers, so go straight to Forceware 175.16.

As far as i've seen so far, drivers newer then Release 176 will not work on cards older then the Geforce 8 series. so Release 177 and 178 probably will not work.

There are NO OpenGL 2.1 drivers available for Radeons older then the Xx00 series.

Search, Learn to.

I've searched, it just didn't help me. I have Forceware 175.16. Didn't you read "I updated the drivers"?

The latest one is 175.19. Also, I use the same video card as you and that version of iDeaS works just fine on my computer. You can try using the latest beta version of iDeaS.

175.19 isn't even viable, its a pos.

if the 5200 is saying that, then the Drivers aren't installed properly.

The lastest beta worked perfectly
