Blurred Backgrounds

[ChiefManyHorses]

Hey guys,

On two games I have for Dolphin (Super Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker) the backgrounds in-game are very blurred. This still occurs when I turn anisotropic filtering on high (16x).

Examples:
Wind Waker



Mario Sunshine

Which backend are you using?

[ChiefManyHorses]

OpenGL.

That's normal for both of them, as both original games had that blur in the distance by Nintendo.

Thank you for that.

No they don't. Well not as bad as what I was getting it anyway.

This may not be the same issue I had long ago but I have a thread about it here:
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-new-revision-pixelation-issue

The resolution at the time was:
EFB to RAM and Enable Cache (I was using DX9 at the time though)

RachelB: That's a completely unrelated issue relating to XFB, which the game Parlane was playing evidently requires.

ChiefManyHorses (that's a cool name, I want it): Check "Scaled EFB Copy" in Graphics > Enhancements. It'll make the blur look nicer, at least in Wind Waker. Have a comparison shot: http://cl.ly/HLVj http://cl.ly/HLJc

haddockd: That's an old regression I noticed once where Scaled EFB Copy wouldn't work right on EFB to RAM. It was fixed long before 3.5. https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=5472

Looks like a nice DOF effect
