Hi, guys, some time ago, enabled bios logo animation. But was causing some strange problems on some games. Like fzero gx crashing or showing weird graphical glitches. 

Dont know why bios animation caused this.

At this time of development, dolphin should behave same way turning it off or on? 

I tried and seems to cause no weird glitches, but just wanted to ask.

Thanks.

Unchecking "Skip Bios" prevents Dolphin's GameINI system from working. The GameINI system detects the thing that is first loaded and configures Dolphin accordingly. But if you load something and then load something else with that something, like the bios to launch a game or wii menu to launch a game, then the settings are just what was for the original thing launched and not the game itself! So it definitely can cause glitches and problems that the GameINI settings usually cover for you.

Are you sure? As far as I understand it, Dolphin will use the game ID of what you select in the game list or Open dialog. If you're using the Wii system menu, this will indeed prevent game IDs from working, but that's not the case with the GC IPL because you're selecting a game instead of the IPL itself.

Mixed opinions Big Grin

So, in resume, launching a game from wii system menu, should prevent game.ini to kick in.

Launching games with GC bios shouldnt change anything.

But I remember getting problems when using GC bios, graphical glitches in some games and choppy framerate. Also bios animation was not always smooth.

That was with the dev builds from like a year ago. Not sure if some changes has been introduced to bios since then. Cause just disabled the bios animation and forgot about it.

On latest build seems to work pretty good, but just wanted to know if can cause any problem. It just a cosmetic thing, but a nice one Smile

Thanks for your answers.

Guys, bios only works fine enabling virtual XFB.

But most games wont reach 60fps with xfb enabled even on intel high end.

If disable xfb, bios is like 3fps and logo animation have ghost shadows and elements.

Using latest dev build.

Any way to have correct bios display not enabling xfb?

Doesn't virtual XFB take zero extra power compared to no XFB? Or am I remembering wrong?
