Can't select "Copy EFB to Texture", reverts to RAM

NJP13254 · 03-03-2011, 12:54 PM #1

I just got the latest i5 macbook pro and am running dolphin. I have seen many posts stating that enabling copy efb to texture instead of to RAM increases fps and general gameplay significantly. Unfortunately this option won't stick on my mac. When I select it and then switch configuration profiles or exit out of the graphics options and go back in it automatically selects Copy EFB to RAM. Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks!!!

terrible advice and not on topic. I seem to have the same problem also SVN7270. Should I get a real pc?

Try previous revisions and see which one breaks it then report back.

Thanks for the advice! When I get back later today I will try this and post back.

So I tried going every fifth release going back into the archive, none of them brought back this option for me. Interestingly the last available build in the archive actually added per game graphics configurations. I also was not able to locate a mac build of the 2.0 release to try that.

maybe writeprotection on the config.ini Big Grin

dont know how a mac works...stupid things

go into your /user/library/application support/dolphin/user/config
and gfx_dx9.ini or dx11.ini
and change

EFBToTextureEnable = False
to
EFBToTextureEnable = True

AND i DONT own a mac... i own a brain...

Do you change the default configuration or a specific game configuration? If you change a specific game the default profile (efb to ram) will still be applied when you run a different game than the one you changed the option for.

This worked perfectly! I can now set it on/off for each game profile. It also allowed me to play Mario Kart Double Dash at 100% almost the entire time. Thanks so much!!!
