Can anyone help me with this as I can't get ingame, I just get blackness after the cloud-fella with the start lights animation.

Using SVN R490, DX9 plugin and specs in sig. Cheers.

Have you tried pressing whatever you have Start assigned to?
I've only got the European version but if you have it set to 60Hz mode you only get a black screen where the intro video should play.
But if you press start when the screen goes black the title screen comes up.
(The intro video plays perfectly with sound if you select 50Hz mode on the European version)

I'd recommend you to grab the latest SVN. The blackness after Lakitu is because of the intro video, which won't reproduce correctly. Just press start and you'll get to the main menu. In-race runs slow (even slower with Dual Core enabled), very dark in OGL or very dark and with a pair of white boxes in DX9 (like some kind of checkered flag, ironically), which makes it unplayable. Haven't tested any other areas besides 50cc and the Mushroom cup, though.

Ah cool lol thanks. All the menus work well but the game is just black :/. Any fixes yet?

EDIT- Some 1080p screenies here, I get pretty high fps with 16xQAA 16xAF

It may also only work when the Windowed resolution is 640 x 480, but if so it's just a bug because the Stretch To Fit option has no resolution option, it will use the internal resolution and stretch that to whatever your screen resolution is, so you don't have to specify any resolution for that setting. Unless you are using the Full Screen option perhaps, but I would recommend that at least Windows users don't use the Full Screen mode, and instead use the Full Screen button in the Dolphin toolbar. Because the only way to get out of the Full Screen mode is with F4, and then you close the entire program, so you can't change the settings while playing for example.

I hope you don't mind resurrecting this old but "official" thread for MKDD.

I am using Dolphin x64 rev 6246 and here are my PC specs

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate with the latest updates & latest dx

Abit IP35

Intel core 2 duo e4600 2,40 ghz (stock speed with stock cooler)

2GB Ram

Nvidia geforce 9600 gt with the latest drivers

Realtek ALC 888 (on board audio) 2.50 drivers

First of all the game looks stunning in 1080p the only problems i have is first with the audio, bgm is not playing properly sfx are fine though and my fps are ~ 40-60. (depends how many karts are on the screen at the same time, stages etc.)

And i am using these settings

How to increase the Performance of Dolphin Emulator

Is there any tweaks i can do to fix or at least improve these two problems i have?
