Issues with some games

[H3llRaiser]

Hello !

I'am completely new with Dolphin and I'm getting some issues.

1 - Roadkill = This game doesn't load , every time I load him it give this error : EFB: Poke Z not implemented (tried to poke z value 0xffffff at (0,0)). I've looked in GC compatiblity list and there this game has 4 stars which means playable, but for me it doens't work.

I also tried with other builds and with several configs but none of them make the game work.

2 - Avalanche 1080º = The game runs great but the sound (soundtracks) are acting weird. The musics runs cracked also the chars voices. I tried with an older build (r6515 I think) and this problem dont occurs , but the game freeze on the loading screen when you are about to start playing.

3 - FZero GX = Runs perfect , but in one race something weird occur. The 3rd race in the first cup (Sand Ocean) the FPS down to 25-30 and stay all the race and the only thing make this race goes above 30FPS is reduce the IR to 1x. Every other race runs perfect at constant 60 FPS and with IR at 2x.

F-Zero is a funny one, and one of the most demanding games to play on Dolphin. impossible to use LLE audio with it. All I can say is that if everything runs fine except that one stage, then just deal with it as you're lucky enough to get the game to run perfect in the first place.

Yes, I know Fzero is a bit demanding. Even most stages running at 60 FPS the game doesn't run 100% smooth , sometimes I got slowdowns and seems all stages have some stutter but nothing to make the game impossible to play.

But I'm not worried with Sand Ocean does not run more than 30 FPS, I just want to know if this is a known issue and if has something to do to fix this stage and also the other games which I'm having issues.

For F-Zero that's a known issue.
When I tried F-Zero my FPS also dropped at Sand Ocean.
You can try to disable Skip EFB Access from CPU and see if it fixes the problem.

Have you tried using LLE with Avalanche?

You can also check out the wiki's for the games.
F-Zero GX
Avalanche 1080
Unfortunately no wiki for Roadkill.

For Roadkill :
- Use an older revision it works with r7590 (with r6505 too)
- Use OpenGL the game won't work with DX
- Check Real XFB for black screens/videos (in Graphics/Hacks)

Sand Ocean seems to be fixed , I've checked the option Skip EFB Access from CPU and the FPS stayed all the race above 40 (got some slowdowns) with the PAL version.

About 1080 Avalanche I tried with LLE and this made the game run even worst , the FPS dropped much (around 20 FPS) and with HLE , I have more FPS (around 35~40). The sound issues are the same in both.

With r6515 I have constant 60 FPS in Avalanche and without audio issues but game freeze in loading screen. Seems the newer revisions messed up with the audio and performance of this game or maybe it's just me

Thank you for you help !!
