I’m trying to get started with PVRScopeExample on Windows emulation using PowerVR SDK 3.4.  
  
  
  
All I did was: open the project in VS2012, build, copy GL emulator binaries in output folder, run.  
  
  
  
The scene renders nicely but all I get is: “No counters present”.  
  
I’m probably just missing something.

Hello Slion,  
  
  
  
PVRScopeExample will only work correctly on systems with PowerVR graphics. PVRScope requires a component of the PowerVR graphics drivers.  
  
  
  
As this is running on the desktop through emulation you will only get the message “No counter present”.  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
Paul
