Some Wii Games Flicker... Some Don't

Heatshiver · 09-18-2011, 10:47 PM #1

I have been trying to play a few games (e.g. Chicken Blaster, Wild West Shooter) and every time I start them in Dolphin I immediately get A LOT of flicker on the screen.

I tried messing with a lot of graphic settings, a few music settings, and some config settings, but nothing has helped.

I can get games like Donkey Kong Country or Super Mario Bros. to work without issue...

I thought this may be a FPS issue, but my FPS shows around 100 during the flicker. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Did you try this : in External Frame Buffer check Real (3.0 and after...)

You're a genius! I had my EFB disabled, turned it on to Real, and now I'm stylin' again. Thanks!

He's not a genius, he's just been here for longer than five minutes.

Someone sounds jealous. Why post at all... unless you had wanted to be called a genius and couldn't stand it.

Anyways, to add to this, only enable the EFB [Real] if your game flickers without it. I had it enabled and tried Super Mario Bros. but it looked all blocky in 1080P. When I turned it off and tried the game again at the same resolution it, looked perfect. So, don't turn on EFB unless needed.
