Support Request: The screen isn’t loading gameplay. For example, I am playing multiple Pokemon games, and they all have the same issue of having completely gray sprites and landscapes. The box art legendary on the start screen is just a white shape of the Pokemon. In battles, the Pokemon sprite doesn’t load, battle effects are glitched and very large. I can see movement in the game, but nothing is loading basically.

Re: Desmume 0.9.13 on Mac screen not working

"Multiple pokemon games" function differently internally. Your efforts to abbreviate your bug report render them useless. Write details, not confused abbreviations.

Re: Desmume 0.9.13 on Mac screen not working

What I meant by "Multiple Pokemon games" is that I am playing Pokemon Platinum, and the issues I described came up out of nowhere. Then, I loaded Pokemon Diamond, Heartgold, and White to test if this issue was with the particular ROM, or if the issue was with Desmume itself. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope that clarifies it.

Re: Desmume 0.9.13 on Mac screen not working

I have also downloaded Desmume 0.9.11, which is an older version, and it seems like the same issue has occurred. I'm thinking maybe it could be problem with my Mac laptop instead. Please help.

Re: Desmume 0.9.13 on Mac screen not working

Yes, it's a problem with your mac laptop. Change desmume's 3d renderer to be softrasterizer instead of opengl.

Re: Desmume 0.9.13 on Mac screen not working

That's impossible. You described "sprites being rendered by the GPU" are wrong. By telling it to use softrasterizer, sprites are no longer rendered by your GPU.  Try harder to change to softrasterizer. If that doesn't help then you may have to follow this thread: https://github.com/TASEmulators/desmume/issues/597

Re: Desmume 0.9.13 on Mac screen not working

tJacato, your troubleshooting info shows that you have the "Enable Textures" option set to NO. This is certainly causing your graphical issues, since the Pokemon games render sprites as 3D textures, and you have turned them off.

Ensure that "Enable Textures" is checked, and try again.
