    Default ePSXe 2.0.5 error: "No WGL extensions!" when starting up any game

    Hey all! When using Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 video plugin, I receive the error in the post title right after I select an ISO. I've done the thing that anyone would've done and restarted my PC multiple times to no avail. I've realized this message should only come up if your GPU doesn't support OpenGL, however my GPU is dedicated (Nvidia) and only about a year old now as you'll see in the specs below.

    Here are my laptop specs if of any relevance:

    OS: Windows 10 Home 64
    GPU: NVIDIA Geforce MX150 (2 GB VRAM)
    CPU: Intel i5-8250U 1.6 GHz (Intel Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz)
    RAM: 8GB DDR4

    Update video drivers/directx or use opengl 1.7

    After updating GPU drivers, when I use OpenGL2 2.9 the errors "Missing render-texture extension!" and "No pixel format available!" appear after selecting an ISO. The ISO successfully boots using OpenGL 1.7, however the framerate is VERY unstable.

    You can specifically set the framerate too so try that.

    It's weird though, your specs should be more than enough to not be having any real issues. What game is it? Off chance it could just be a game that epsxe doesn't like.


    There's always Retroarch (multi-emulator) that you could try too. Supposed to be more accurate with the mednafen core for psx.
