(From the emulator menu select a video resolution that has "S" instead of D or W (non-D mode).

- Try it in XP Mode, this will run it in 16-bit, info for this-

- Run dxdiag, instructions for this-

and disable all the graphics acceleration (DirectDraw/Direct3D/AGP) and then re-enable them.

- Update, or uninstall and reinstall your video card drivers.)

What emulator is this for?
You need to be a bit more specific.

vanelan : The only system that gives this error in the RGR (that I know of) is SNES.

Windows 8 has a lot of compatibility problems...


blitzaxis : When I posted that I might have been thinking of something which doesn't relate to the :idirectdraw7 setdisplaymode failed" error.

Are you able to access the menu with the Esc key? You might have to either click OK on the error message box or click on the game window first. If so, you'll need to change the video resolution to one that's compatible with your PC.

Alternatively, you can use Mednafen by clicking the link on the top left of the game window. I actually prefer Mednafen personally.
