Dolphin emulator problem

So I've been trying to get this emulator to work for me all day, and I've finally gotten it to play the game I want. But now it's giving me the black screen of death problem.

Anyone have any suggestions?

which game are you playing??as in Wii game or Gamecube??

 

A Gamecube one, FF Crystal Chronicles. It goes to a black screen after selecting single player on New Game.

From what I've searched, it seems to be a common problem =/

 

Does this happen when you load the game or is it before hand?
I tried the Dolphin Emulator but couldn't get the controller settings to work or even appear, so it may be an error like that where it can't detect a plug-in when it is clearly there.

 

well i played the game 2 months back and well it still works fine for me anyway here are my settings

Spoiler

 

Hmm, that could be it. I don't have NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

The game itself loads fine, it's after you select New Game on the menu screen that it messes up.

 

hmm well still try messing with the settings it might work
