I just found out today that, back in 2019, Extrems (possibly most well known for Not64) discovered that Nintendo's implementation of 480p for all commercial Wii software (but apparently not GameCube?) was bugged, resulting in a blurrier image than intended - so he developed a fix:
  • https://github.com/ExtremsCorner/libogc-...1fbb454448
  • https://www.retrorgb.com/wii-480p-video-...vered.html
  • https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph...8#p1361158

I'm just wondering if this has any relevance to Dolphin, or does Dolphin being generally HLE mean that we're completely bypassing the render path that would result in that bug anyway?

For all I know maybe it does have relevance to Dolphin, but it's already been known about for a while and the according information has already been used accordingly, but it was just never mentioned on the forums (that's where I looked to see if it was something relevant to Dolphin or not).

Dolphin bypasses the relevant part of the hardware, so this problem never affected Dolphin.
