Hey fellow Nintendo fans,
I've been trying to get Twilight Princess to run properly with HD textures (Ty Anderson's pack for the Wii version). I just can't figure out why my PC can't keep up a high FPS. I fear I must be doing something wrong.
First of all, you can check out my PC setup in my profile, but in short this is it:
i5 processor, 8GB RAM, XFX Radeon HD7950 Black Edition Double Dissipation (3GB) video card. I run a monitor and TV at once, so far I've only tried the monitor (which has a lower res than the TV).
Now from what I understand, that should be more than enough to play Dolphin games in HD. (I can run all PC games at max settings.)
I tried several versions of Dolphin (3.0, 4.0, some revised build that came with GC TP HD textures... and now trying 4.0.2). When I try DirectX11, I get lots of glitches, like messed up textures and interface. DirectX9 seems to work as intended but..... it's incredibly laggy.
This even occurs when I run 2x native resolution, no AA, with custom HD textures and texture cache: fast. (When I select 'safe', it hardly loads any custom textures...)
About the HD textures, I just placed the folder 'RZDE01' (which is Wii TP NSTC) in the folder Load\Textures. I didn't change anything to the folder, even though there are multiple variations on the same texture (like Link's hair color). Do I need to fiddle with any of that? (By the way, if I want to use another hair color, how do I do that? I tried renaming the textures, but that did nothing.)
I uploaded a screenshot of my graphical settings: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-opGlosN9WZQ/UsNLuFbVDgI/AAAAAAAAE4k/jogHWIKg0NQ/s912/Dolphin%2520graphics%2520settings.jpg or a bit higher res of the pic: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/iMR23LQQCeZMvfwcmYgsptMVPKWsCTMSaMzQZ9g4z8Y?feat=directlink
What else do you need to know to see where the problem lies?
Thanks SO much.
I loved TP back in the day and I'm looking forward to playing it in HD.
