Problem with lighting in Pikmin 1

[captainreynolds]

Here is my issue All the lighting is too dark, on the landscape, olimar, and the pikmin! I runnning the latest stable Mac OS X version. I think this is an Open GL issue with mac. But I would really like to find a solution! What do you think I should do?

Pikmin 2 does not have this problem except on the pikmin themselves.

Mac? Pretty sure this is a known issue.

Yeah. What is needed to be developed to fix this, and what exactly is at the core of the issue?

Also, I'm a little confused - Dolphin reads that OpenGL is more accurate.

There is no real solution yet and it doesn't seem like anyone knows exactly why this is happening. The optional solution is to not use OSX or live with your games looking like that until a fix is found. That's pretty much all there is to say unless you want to look at the code and try to fix it yourself.

Running the Windows version of Dolphin in Wine and using DX9/DX11 also gets around this issue.

Once we get our current OpenGL situation stabilized in the development builds and switch over to using GLSL for shaders instead of Nvidia's Cg, this issue'll be gone, I think. (Funny that this shader problem only shows up on Nvidia GPUs when we're using Nvidia's own stuff for shaders, eh?)

Okay. Thanks for the info! I should probably just get a windows partition running.

Yep, that's the best solution for now.
