Missing/pixelated textures

Hey,

So I noticed a strange thing happening with my water in Twilight Princess. Does anyone have any tips and or tutorials on how to fix this? Something similar is happening with Twin Snakes to. I'm using Dolphin 4.0-6000 on Mac Yosemite.
Thank!

Actually how is Dolphin on a Linux distro? I would dual boot that if it's beter there.

Dolphin is best anywhere that is not OSX. Dolphin has some issues with Mac drivers. Instead of dual booting, I would suggest running Dolphin via bootcamp, it would be easier and fix your driver problems I think.

Boot camp is the Mac version of dual booting.
But yes, try and run any other OS (preferably windows) and you'll have a better experience

Didn't know that, my bad. I thought it was a wine-esque application

Thanks good to know that Mac sucks on all gaming fronts! On the other side isn't OpenGL you know open (source) or is Apple using their own modified version?

OpenGL is a standard; only software can be "open source".

The problem is in Apple's Intel graphics drivers for OS X, which are not open source (most graphics drivers aren't).

Aha sorry my terminology has always been terrible.
Is it possible to write a custom driver for the Iris chipset or is that something that would need reverse engineering of current drivers what would seem quite hard (maybe impossible?). I'm a student software engineer and this has peaked my interest.
