[UNOFFICIAL] Ishiiruka-Dolphin Custom Version

[DatKid20]

Could you fix Gecko OS in this build. It's pretty much essential to play Project M without making a Iso.

Yes, it's fixed

Thanks for this great version of Dolphin! The Full Async Shader Comp. is fantastic: no more shader-stutters in Mario Kart Wii!

Two things I did notice:
1. The "EFB Copies: RAM" function in Mario Kart Wii doesn't fix the lensflare as it does with regular Dolphin. RAM just show the same "incorrect" lensflare as EFB Copies: Texture.

2. 30fps games (still) have microstutter; Waverace Blue Storm and Luigi's Mansion have the same stuttering issues as regular Dolphin, no matter the settings.
I used to have a AMD HD7950 and had the microstuttering issues (even tried RadeonPro and other limiters / vsync option - next to Dolphin's built-in limiters and vssnc on/off). Now I have a Nvidia GTX 780 and the exact same microstuttering still appears. It happens in older versions of Dolphin as well, so I guess it has always been like that. Stressing the GPU with AA to get the highest clockspeed doesn't help and my CPU is more than capable (3570k @4.2ghz). Also, disabling idle skipping and/or dual-core doesn't help.

Would be so awesome if you could fix this!

@ xystus: Are you sure what you're seeing is micro-stuttering? Because 30 FPS just doesn't look very fluid compared to 60FPS games...

[xystus]

Yes I'm sure I know what it is and I'm very picky when it comes to framerate. There's a choppiness and it's not shader-cache related.

Check this video, to see what I mean: http://www.mediafire.com/download/135fd8ct523gp8h/luigis+mansion+dolphin+microstuttering+test.mkv

It's sometimes a subtle stutter, other times it a big skip - very annoying. The weird thing is that it seems to happen at random.

the stutering is still present if you enable virtual xfb?

[xystus]

Yes, it doesn't seem to effect it in any way (virtual, real or off).

I just tried it with virtual xfb enabled. The problem's even worse with it enabled than disabled, even with exclusive fullscreen, vsync, and the async shader.

I made that video over a year a go before any of those features were introduced. At first I thought it was Dolphin's vsync or maybe DWM but over the past year it appears to be something else. The only thing I can think of that could be causing the problem now is the frame buffer. Perhaps we need some kind of double/triple buffering for games that run at frame rates lower than a monitor's refresh rate? Only a guess. :\

Yeah could be. Although when I force triple buff. with RadeonPro or Nvidia controlpanel, it doesn't seem to solve anything. Could be it isn't implemented the "right way" like that though. I remember developers on the forum stating that forced vsync/triple buff. via the Nvidia/AMD control panel should always be avoided, because an emulator works differently - and should never be treated as a "normal game".

I just want to say that I'm still uploading the Mario Sunshine texture pack. It takes around 3 hours to upload a 200MB piece. I could only upload 2 out of 7 parts for now (exams, steam and gog downloads, etc), but everything will be uploaded eventually.
