[GC] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

[Pio]

any news about the hi-res-texture pack with higher revisions (tried dx11, dx9 and ogl)?
i know its working with older ones, but for some reason my graphics are blurrier with the older ones and beside two crashes (deku tree and at the mother and child island), which could be avoided by using "fix item hang", a haven't had any problems till now (terra temple). they dfefinately look better and it would be great to use them!

Here is a HIRES pack that should work in the latest revisions, based on Uhyve's work.

I added some things as well, mainly action buttons that were missing, as well as some hud elements. Some of them look like crap, but this was for my personal use

Hopefully someone more talented than me will pick this up

The game still isn't too fond of hires textures however, as it tends to crash, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make the water ripples look good in hires.

Oh and the icons don't work yet, they still require an absurd amount of repeated images.

If it doesn't work, enable texture cache and set it to "normal". Also, be wary that moving or resizing the emu window will revert the texutres back to stock, so if you're planning on playing with fullscreen, start emulation already in fullscreen.

Problem:
I'm having 24-27 FPS and audio jittering.

For some reason the emulator is using norwegian, despite that I never specified I wanted it to. I can't find the option to disable it.

Everything under "advanced" is disabled.

Set efb copy to texture
Disable emulate format changes
Use an older revision
If your Q6600 is running at stock speeds buy an aftermarket cooler and OC it to 3.0GHz or higher.

Many thanks, thats working very well! a shame dolphin can't handle switching between windowed and fullscreen mode as i'm doing this quite often
thats the same for the pal version (just renaming the files, no credit to me ):

@mongoen regarding the language: its under config->display->language (at the bottom)
it looks as the systems language is now the default one

Thanks I will give the pack a try tomorrow.

Hi, I'm using the r5874 build from xtemu with Wind Waker optimizations. It was all going fine until Fire Mountain and Ice Ring islands (getting the boots and bracelets) and now I can't switch between fire and ice arrows (I could before), which is probably needed later in the game. Changing to a newer revision didn't help. If anyone has any tips or has a memcard or save from about that point it would be great, thanks. Here are my settings:

@gero: can u still use them in other areas? i would try turning on the cheat "having all arrows" (or similar). this might help. and u could also try switching back to an older revision.

@CruDeLioS: after playing a couple of minutes with the hi-res textures it crashed for me as well. its a shame but thats not worth the hassle, so i guess i'll play without them
dunno the problem, maybe the devs can fix it as hi-res texture support is a great feature of dolphin! i might try later just using a few of the textures (hud and maybe font).

@Pio
Good ideas, but unfortunately they didn't work. I wasn't very clear in the first post - I have passed the fire and ice islands and now am on the open sea. Are the fire/ice arrows necessary to complete the game from then on? I think the problem might have happened because I used savestates when there was a time countdown on one of those islands (which somehow messed up the game), and after that saved on memcard. I think my only solution is to get someone else's savestate or memcard, I don't have time to replay those 11 hours again...

yes, youll need tem afaik. sometimes you have to set things on fire etc.
you could upload your saves and ill try if i can do something (but i doubt it^^). on the other hand i can give you my saves. its after completing the earth temple and before the wind temple. its hard to say where you are, but this might be better then nothing
