Weird issue in LOZ Wind Waker

[AveryRe]

Hey there, I have a very strange issue occurring with Wind Waker. For some reason, when I start the emulation and the island comes on screen the frame rate and audio is very slow and choppy, which of course, I thought was just poor performance due to my pc. However, when I open the graphics dialogue from within the Dolphin window, suddenly the game becomes perfectly smooth and playable. Every time I exit the game, I have to redo this process of open the graphics dialogue within Dolphin and then the frame rate suddenly smoothes out.

Any idea why this could be happening? Not an issue really, but I'd hate to have to open the graphics dialogue every time I launch the game. Just a tad annoying.

You change the default efb to ram to efb to texture for the game when you open your graphic config, you can do that but you will have issues with pictobox and it's quests without efb to ram. See this thread about how to configure per game settings to set the game to efb to texture on boot: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-howto-using-gameini-settings-per-game but be warned that default settings are not there without reason when you override them.

When I'm out of game EFB is still set to texture though, and when I open it it still makes a difference but is still set to texture. If I set it to RAM during gameplay it slows down again though, and when I switch it back to texture it speeds up. It's almost like it says its on texture when its not, until I open the graphics dialogue.

It´s slow because your CPU is too weak for WW with LLE audio and EFB-2-RAM.

Well it runs fine when I open the graphics configuration and the settings change, I just need to figure out a way to keep those settings as default or whatever because the game plays flawlessly afterwards.

Right-click Wind Waker in your game list, click "Properties", click "Edit Config" on the lower-left, and paste this line in:

EFBToTextureEnable = True

Save it and close Notepad, of course.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to use the Picto Box properly unless you turn on EFB to RAM again. That's the sole reason it's on by default, as far as I know.
