TALES OF SYMPHONIA (NTSC-USA)
SETTINGS
KNOWN ISSUES
- I don't know why the graphics have that "ghosting" issue, but it doesn't bother me, as long as the character remains "crisp".
- I don't know why, but in menus, frame rate drops to 30.
- If you don't check "Enable XFB", your character will be "bouncing back", which is very annoying.
- EFB to RAM will slowdown your game.
- Enabling SSAA will cause slowdown in main menu, though in-game, it works fine, with good frame rates. Enable as you see fit.
- Only way to get 60fps in that snowy city called Flanoir, is clocking your processor at 4Ghz. (E8400/ Q9550/ PII 940BE/ i7 750/ i7 920 and beyond)
- OpenGL will make your game stutter hard at Flanoir, and you'll have a hard time in battles with more than three enemies.
- DX11 Plugin will cause some weird artifacts.
- You should not check Frame Skipping.
- You should uncheck OpenCL, as it slows down the game a bit.
- If you don't check "Safe Texture Cache", text will present some artifacts, making it unreadable.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Tested with Dolphin SVN r5867 x64.
- This same config works very well with Resident Evil 4. Be advised that you should have a processor clocked at 4Ghz to keep constant 30fps.
My Rig.
Q6600 @3.42Ghz
4GB DDR2 @1140Mhz
Radeon HD4870 1GB
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
- This game is finally working well, after some thousand revisions. Able to keep 60fps most of time if your machine is able to keep it up.
- Sound emulation IS NOT PERFECT, music behaves strangely, but the SFX and voices is fine.
- A fast Dual-Core processor like E8400 is enough, as this emulator is not optimized for Quad-Core processors... Yet...
- Enabling "DSPLLE on Thread" will actually use a third core, helping a little bit. Just a little bit though...
- Widescreen hack works very well, and i do recommend to keep it checked, specially if you have a widescreen monitor.
- If you're gonna use those screens to make your guide, please credit me, putting something like "Hey AHPD! Sorry but i had to steal your screens, i hope you don't mind" .
