Settigns for current dolphin and 60FPS hacks

[theboy181]

The settings for the Super Mario Sunshine 60fps hack seem to be missing? (vbeam)
An article was featured on the home page, and now it looks like its no longer possible? Why the changes after featuring the hack?

Can anyone tell me if the hack is achieved with some other method?

I was able to select "Double Rate Hack" using Ishiiruka's build, but it doesn't run Super Mario Sunshine as well.. Is this feature planed for the official build of dolphin at some point?

Yeah, it's a bit awkward that the articles mentioned something that was about to be deleted... What happened was this, roughly: Most people agreed that the SMS 60 fps hack was a cool thing, but as more and more people got to know that it existed, some developers noticed that it was totally abusing the vbeam speedhack. It was never meant to be used for things like this, and it can cause problems, so it was deleted. Besides, we're trying to get rid of weird old hacky options like these whenever we can.

The ideal solution would be to write a hack that works properly without the vbeam speedhack, but I don't know when anyone is going to do that.

Not as far as I know. We're trying to get rid of hacky options, not add ones that only are needed to run one specific game in a specific way.

Yeah, the Dolphin devs got rid of vBeam because it was causing issues, and they will probably not be doing work on it to try to make it usable. Best bet at this point would to be to download an earlier version of Dolphin, although I would advise against that.
