[GC] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

[DerpTyrant]

Does anybody know the solution to a gray screen when trying to teleport out of second dungeon (after doing the boss)?

I tried the "Fix item hang" thing but it doesn't work ... Any other solutions? I cant proceed on

Right guys I've got a 3.8ghz Core i3 550 and a GTX 460 SE that I've OC'd quite a bit and this game is running beautifully in towns and most general areas. The biggest problem I've got is whenever I fight an enemy, even one, my fps drops to about 20. Anybody know what's going on?

I honestly don't know what to tell you. My specs are about the same as yours, maybe a bit worse and the game is running 30fps the whole time, never slowing down. I've had i5 crappy junk, 2.8ghz a couple of months ago and the game was still running full fps the whole time, just with a bit worse quality.

So are you running low specs? Please don't tell me you have full Anti-Alias and Anisotropic Filtering, be cause that doesn't work no matter how good your pc is. Put everything to minimum and make your resolution normal and the game will work perfect while looking completely sharp and beautiful. The best setup for every game imo, is everything to maximum BUT the Anti Anti-Alias and Anisotropic Filtering. Be cause those two are not even noticeable and slow down the game by way too much.


Also I gotta bump my problem again:

Hi, i am new to Dolphin, and i think this whole thing is really amazing and im feeling very lucky to be able to play all my favorite games that i played on my GC in HD. But i have run into a problem and although ive searched the forums and the wiki as well as this thread and the internet itself, i cant find a solution.

Story is same as many others: I just finished the Tower of the Gods boss and when i enter the teleporter the game fades to grey screen and sits there. Ive tried everything within this forum multiple times. Ive tried previous versions of Dolphin (i am using the current one), ive altered the settings in both opengl and direct9, ive altered the sound options including disabling sound completely, and no combination would work. Ive spent a day on this, and maybe 8 hours total trying to figure it out, and i cant.

From what i can tell, many people are having similar problems. So are we pretty much just waiting for a fix? Are we waiting on anything in particular regarding the latest builds of Dolphin? I was running the game at x4 resolution all along with no problems except 1 black screen at the deku tree that restarting in direct9 fixed.

One thing i should say is, i didnt know how to format the memory card at first (like i said, im new), so my saves are save states. Has any concrete evidence been shown that might point this grey screen problem towards the fact that im not using the memory card saves? Id REALLY like to not have to start over with an in game save, play all the way back to where i am, just to have it crash in the same way again.

Either way, i appreciate the efforts of the developers of Dolphin, and i only see emulation growing and becoming more amazing in the future. Piracy isnt the true glory of emulators its the ability to see these games in high resolution with custom shaders etc. Anyways, thanks.

Well, if you start the game, the game should ask you if you want to format the Memory Card.
Press Yes and then load the save states, press Start and then press Save...

[CaptNfantasy]

Yes, i know that now, but, when i started out i was too new to know, so now i have half the game finished but i only used save states.

ok i see what you are saying, ill give it a try even though i thought i already did try this.

Nah man whenever i try to open a save state from an ingame save it crashes. Not sure if its like this for everyone but for me it crashes.

As the guy above sad. When you start the game from beginning it will ask you to create a memory card. Create it and then load your save state. When in game just save using the game save. Simple as that.

BUT
The problem isn't that, it's the gray screen. This forums are so inactive it seams or people just don't want to help (not all, some are unbelievably nice and I can't thank them enough), but lots of people are playing Windwaker completely fine and I would appreciate if they know a solution or could tell us their options/revision. I tried many, spent hours and hours trying to get it working, but the game is always stuck at that retarded gray screen.
So please, any help really appreciated!

Heres the thing, im not sure if its supposed to work that way, but for me, if the game wasnt started with an ingame save, the save states from other games crash the program. Does that make sense? So like, if i created an ingame save, i can only load save states that were created while i was playing that game. All save states are a legacy of that initial ingame memory card save. Maybe thats not the way its supposed to work, but for me anything else crashes. Ive thoroughly tested as much of this as i can so i wouldnt be adding to this forum unnecessarily. But i just cant get past this. As a player im slightly frustrated, but as a human im more curious as to why its happening, why it happens in the same places for so many people, and why the developers havent solved it, cant solve it, or if they are even considering it as something that needs to be solved. It seems like even though many are playing the game without trouble, the ones who are having troubles are having the exact same ones, They are not random, there is something going on. Im just curious as to what it is and what the devs think can be done to fix it. "Fix item hang" or whatever seemed like ti was something from what i can tell in earlier revisions but now i am reading that it no longer does anything to help. Since there would be no logic in undoing a fix for a problem, i am curious as to what can be/is being done to solve this.
