[UNOFFICIAL] Ishiiruka-Dolphin Custom Version

[Khronikos]

I'm getting letterboxing with DX11 note in yellow at the top left in 2MG2.

I'm not sure I understand. Xenoblade is 16x9 though isn't it? It renders the empty space in OpenGL

I have the same problem with OpenGL. The only way to fix it is to select "Stretch to Window". Why don't you use it? After all, the game doesn't look "stretched" with this option:

DDX file? Searched online but my Google skills must be getting old, is this a straighforward process? Care to explain it briefly?
PNG converted files (from JPG) uses a huge amount of memory and stuttering is almost unavoidable.

Sorry dds is the correct extension

Thanks. Just found a DDS converter but ETA for converting the whole texture pack is a whooping 65 hours.
And the DDS file seems to be bigger than the JPG, is that correct?

Hi Tino!

Issue report:

Running Ishiiruka 413, game is Xenoblade Chronicles, additionally installed a Texture Pack found on this forum.
I've found that the game, which is initially able to run at a steady 30 fps on my 1.2 Ghz Core M powered tablet (with Intel HD 5300) and 4GB RAM, slows down gradually, and never recovers to normal. The solution is to make a savestate, then load it - suddenly I get my 30 fps back - this can be done at any moment and the result is positive most of the times. For example the game can go down to 7 fps, then I save+load via savestate and get my 30 fps back instantly.
Let me know if I can help in any way (provide savestate, configs) or if this is a known issue.

Isn't the tablet overheating? It turbos if it is cool but throttles if too hot.
Can you check the temperature/clock of the cpu and gpu when it slows down, on idle and just before and after loading a save state?

99% not the case. Why would the game run at 7-6fps and then jump to 30fps after I press Shift+F1, F1? I do not pause it or anything, just use hotkeys to save and load instantly. There is no time for cooldown.

Either your thermal throttling or your tablet is not from this planet.

@f3flight: Can you monitor your memory usage when you get the slowdown and after you recovered normal speed?
