Very nice. Thanks delroth!

Being a fellow programmer (but nowhere near your level) I clearly see the irony in on simple number causing so much hell.

Computers are very unforgiving of mistakes most of the time...

haddockd: More problematic is imo that this small numbers didn't do so much hell. Only some games uses this high texture id, but so this bug was undiscovered for such a very long time. And as there isn't _any_ nice way to discover such an bug, it was very very hard to find what was wrong.

But, tbh, I bet this isn't the last stupid bug in dolphin :-(

Congratulations for the Dolphin team. Now I´ll dump the ISO of WW and start playing as it should really be: zero bugs.

I've seen a lot of off-by-one errors before, but it look like this was an off-by-one-bit error judging from the corrected code. It's nice to have pictures illustrating and tying everything together, makes for an enjoyable read.
