[GC] Nightfire: strange glitches

[x6herbius]

Just re-discovered Dolphin and it seems to work much better on my new laptop with dediated graphics and decent dual core than my older laptop.

Anyway, on-topic: I have managed to get 007: Nightfire running to an extent but have a couple of problems. I dunno if anyone else has experienced this, or if anyone has any tips on how to speed up my emulation slightly.

• The biggest problem is falling through surfaces. About 85% of the surfaces in Nightfire are fine but some of them players fall through and either fall onto another level of the map and get fall damage, or fall underneath the map and continually flicker between underneath and on top. Some levels are unplayable because of this, especially levels like Skyrail where most of the terrain is displacement (dunno if anyone here is familliar with Source; I dunno what else to call them). Ramps are one of the biggest culprits.
  
• There are some "invisible" surfaces which players and bullets collide with. These tend to extend past the edges of some other surfaces, such as stair bannisters, where the top of a stairway is blocked by a surface that extends up to the height of the bannister. It is possible to jump over but some other surfaces seem to be massive and they make shooting really annoying.
  

There are also other minor bugs, like the music cutting off abruptly in the middle of a round and hud textures being discoloured, but I can live with those. Also, the game crashes on a round start if I don't have the "Display Debugging Statistics" option checked at startup, which is weird. Dunno if anyone can help or suggest anything to fix these issues... I would try the newest Dolphin but apparently the zip file is invalid. :S

Many thanks for assistance.
