The "main" Dolphin developers want only clean solutions in the master branch to prevent problems from popping up down the road. Ishiiruka focuses on speed above accuracy and uses some hacks to achieve that goal. Async shader compilation speeds up games quite a bit by simply not drawing graphics if the shaders aren't finished yet, which the developers thought was too hacky to put into master. Users love it, though, because they care more about speed than accuracy (but they're not the ones who have to fix stuff when hacks speed up one game and break a dozen others in the process). The "main" developers are working on "ubershaders" as a solution to fix stuttering, but complicated fixes take a lot longer to make than hacks. Thankfully Tino has the time to work on his special version for the sake of all the people who can't get good performance out of master. Hacks aren't necessarily bad if they achieve good results (EFB to Texture being a prime example), but Dolphin has had to go through a lot of cleanups in the past year to remove old hacks that were causing problems, and the developers are trying to limit that development strategy to avoid the hassle of future cleanups.

Tino the newest version of dolphin is crashing now when using custom textures for me. The game will load if prefetch custom textures is off but no custom things ever load. Also if i turn on prefetch custom textures while in game and then disable and reenable load custom textures to try and get it to work it instantly crashes.
Game was Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Upon further checking only some of the textures will load.

The purple bar is supposed to be the mossy stone like the rest. All textures are the same file type but some are larger textures.

Just ishiiruka. Also on startup when i disable prefetch it takes about 5-10 seconds to actually start up.

Hi guys, I seem to be having an issue with Rogue Leader. It runs great but every time I want to blow up the death star the game freezes. I've disabled the HLE hack but still no dice.

Using latest Ishiiruka build.

Now I just need the controller input timing corrections from the January master to be implemented in the Ishiiruka build and I can officially move my wii out of my entertainment center .

Glad I could help! The performance boost is great using DirectX 12. I do use both backends though, due to DirectX12 being buggy sometimes, but soon I hope it will be fully merged into master, and working stable.
