[GC] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

[Baserunner]

Hi,

Just wanted to let you guys know that the part with the punies in the game is a problem. It's not only that the punies are displayed incorrectly (like it says in the wiki), but also that the framerate will drop to an almost unplayable framerate every now and then. Also, some punies will get lost and you will have to go all the way back and talk to the guy giving you new punies.

Also, when you get upstairs and open the red cage, the game 'freezes'. It doesn't continue with the conversation and you can't do anything about it.

I used Dolphin 3.0 to sort these issues. The punies are invisible in this version, you can only see the shadows of them. However, you can play it with this version if you are having troubles.

Have you tried the latest version? (not 4.0.x)

[Baserunner]

I normally run version 4.0-854

Just wondering if there is a "fix" for the Widescreen thing to not see the black boxes....I remember there was a patch or a setting in Znear/Zfar but Ive lost it
Anyone know about this fix?

Hi,

I'm getting extremely slow game play, 30-40% speed. Is there any way to speed it up? I've tried running it at the lowest settings possible and the speed is still unbearable. My specs are on my profile.

You shouldnt be hitting those types of speed slowdowns with your computer. Check to make sure you have the atest drivers for everything, download and run DirectX Web updater, latest version of Visual C++, and run Windows update for even optional updates (not Bing crap)

[Astonien]

I did all of those and it improved the speed to 80-100%, but now it will randomly drop to 30-40% when a text box shows up or I enter a building. Is their anything I can do to improve these random drops in speed.

your computer should be more than fast enough to run this game well above full speed. I do not know why it isn't hitting full speed. Post all your settings, make sure your ISO is extracted (sometimes running an ISO from a zip can cause it to be IO limited) and that's all I can suggest.

[Astonien]

Here are the settings. If you need any more pictures just ask.

Use opengl or the latest dev build. Dx9 had those slowdowns last time i checked in menus that other backends didn't have.
