Dolphin Progress Report

How the hell is it taking 17 seconds? I've cached hours of Metroid Prime 3 and it takes a ~1 second to start.

I've already 100%ed it once as Mario, and have 80 (out of 120) stars in Luigi mode, so I've put in a lot of time.

AMD drivers are doing this. Why the hell are they this slow.

Please compress/upload the shadercache soewhere so that stenzek can look into it. Thanks!

Sorry for the wait, by the time I read that post I updated to 5.0-1490, which seemingly deleted the shader cache. However, after a bit of playing, SMG's boot time has already increased to somewhere around 8 seconds, which is already a lot more than "~1 second".

The issue is that I have no idea what to upload. I know there's a "Shaders" folder, so I'm guessing I just upload the files labeled "RMGE01", but I'd like to be completely sure.

Also, the "ShadersUIDs" folder is completely empty. Is this a bad thing?

That folder is only for Ishiiruka. Regular Dolphin won't put anything in there, and won't read anything from it either.

Cheers mate, good read. I'm also fairly sure that the "off by 1" fix took care of the outlines on things in Cel Damage, which have looked fatter and more transparent than console since forever, now they are sharp and solid black!

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I really look forward to these progress reports each month and reading about all the cool things you all are doing with Dolphin. I find them to be really well written and entertaining.

Congrats on getting those Disney games working, I'm really looking forward to the article about the security features.

Thanks for all the impressive work!
