[GC] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess [GC Version]

Game Information:

Ever since the Spaceworld 2000 demo that showcased the graphic power of the Nintendo Gamecube, Zelda fans had been drooling to see more for the next Legend of Zelda title. The Spaceworld 2000 demo showcased a realistic look to both Link and Ganondorf, taking a graphical approach that was a step up from Ocarina of Time. After not hearing much of anything for the next year, Shigeru Miyamoto shocked the Zelda world by unveiling what would become known as The Wind Waker at Spaceworld 2001, and it took a drastically different route to the Zelda franchise, highlighting a cel-shaded cartoonish Link.

It wasn't until E3 2004 that the Zelda series would see the first glimpses of the next Legend of Zelda title for the Nintendo Gamecube, and this took on a visual look that more closely resembled adult Link from Ocarina of Time. It was met with overwhelmingly high praise from fans.

After years of development, Twilight Princess was delayed so that it would become a launch title for Nintendo's upcoming new console, the Nintendo Wii. During this process, the Nintendo Wii version of the game was given added motion controls, in which Link's sword was controlled by the swinging of the Nintendo Wiimote and Nunchuck, rather than the classic button control of previous Zelda titles.

The game released on the Nintendo Wii first in 2006 and on the Gamecube just weeks later in the various regions. Twilight Princess has since become the second highest Zelda game of all time with over 6.5million copies of the game shipped worldwide, second only to Ocarina of Time.

nice. Hm, is EFB to RAM really necessary? Isn't EFB to texture enough?
Some screenies would be nice. Some which show the good parts and some which show the issues would be perfect ^^

What are the best settings to play at or near full speed on my configuration, which is in my sig? Also, how can I play for more then 5 or 10 minutes without it crashing at random?

Update: Using D3D plugin and not a single crash so far, been playing over an hour. Done for tonight

I think that playing at full speed is almost impossible now...
