You better tell your specs and the game you were trying to play.
People can help you faster.

nvm i figured it out... need a new graphics card, well in that case ill jus save and buy a xbox 360..

Lol, I just sold my X-Box not too long ago so I could buy a graphics card
Thank you Woot.com for a $70 GeForce 6600

Well all I use the computer for is to play games anyway and the only reason I haven't bothered with game systems lately is cuz I didn't care to pay to go online but now xbox 360 has really done well with online play so this is jus pointless now, oh and i used to have a gc... compared to my ps2 it wasnt all that great

ewww....XBOX 360?!?!?! It is low sell if you read somewhere else in the video game news. I will wait for PS3 and Revolution. I think XBOX 360 will be dead and no more..just like dreamcast. Microsoft needs to gave up. Sony and Nintendo, long live!

I have the same problem when I try to run animal crossing, eternal darkness, or super mario party 7.

This is using everything standard on Dolphin 1.0.3 by using the REF render instead of HAL. Using All-In-Wonder X600 Pro.

Oh.. I was trying to run animal crossing, maybe i should try a differnt game..

If you need a better graphics card, I don't think it'll help to change the game.

Well, animal crossing gets ingame.

Maybe this can help you:

If I remember correctly, 'direct3d device creation failed' could mean that your card doesnt support Direct Draw. Maybe. But I would suggest finding out if it supports Direct Draw before you go out and buy a new card just to get Dolphin running.

i cant stand the PS2, every game i play, theres a loading screen every time i move, but I do like the PSP, and the PS3 looks awsome (but not for $450 i can wait)

Well, I use HD Loader and I can say that the loadings are really fast.
