<title>SDL game testing using Dolphin problem [black screen]</title>
<description> Hi
I want to test my SDL game in Dolphin emulator.
I compile everything succesfully but when I tried to run it in Dolphin emu I can&amp;#039;t see anything

Only black screen is shown...

I made several &quot;debug&quot; poiints with printf() so if you run .elf in Dolphin you can see messages like &quot;InitSOundSystem OK!&quot;
&quot;load_image(&quot;data.bmp&quot;) OK &quot;and everything is fine

But nothing is shown at the screen (code calls SDL_Blit() etc several times)

I made this game for Linux and PC-Win also and there it works fine, but in Dolphin nothing is shown

What should I do?

PM me for .dol and .elf (also sd.raw - image of SD card with data)</description><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?12,21604,21604#msg-21604</link><lastBuildDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 10:50:12 +0200</lastBuildDate>

No I have really have no idea. But a new build was just released which plays Super Mario Galaxy perfectly. I&#039;d like to see how that handles our .dols/.elfs]]></description>
