Mario Kart Double Dash BUG: Lens flare effect missing with EFB copy to RAM [DX9]

[kirbypuff]

The Dolphin paradox: The emulation of Mario Kart Double Dash is less accurate with the more accurate setting.

DX9 plugin: Setting EFB copy to RAM (for accuracy) disables the amazing lens flare effect in MK: DD.

The issue doesn't occur when using the OpenGL plugin.

i think the worst think is that after the first track, the music stops playing, its very boring to play this game without the great music :/

That effect might be handled by CPU -> EFB Access which if you have disabled won't work. Games like Zelda Windwaker, Zelda Twilight Princess, and even Resident Evil 4 rely on CPU -> EFB Access to produce sun flare, light rays, and other lighting effects. Copy EFB -> Ram typically doesn't handle these effects while CPU -> EFB Access does.
