About this Game(wii.ign.com):
There is a Tower that rises above all in an alternate world. No one knows who built this or why it was built. One thing is certain, the Tower both casts a large shadow and at the same time is filled with moving shadows...

There is a shadow of a boy that climbs this tower. He runs through the shadow of the Tower, solving mysteries and puzzles along the way, and fighting off enemies that try to impede his progress. The boy is not affected by gravity but his movement is restricted within the thin border between light and shadow....

There is a winged sylph known as a “Spangle” that supports him in his journey. The boy is not alone in his endeavors as this creature of light joins him on his quest...

Welcome to the Lost in Shadow. Mixing unique platform elements and levels of puzzling to challenge the player, the combination of light and shadow creates an all-new blend of game styles. With the shadow boy altering shapes of surrounding objects’ shadows and creating walkways to previously inaccessible areas, Lost in Shadow is set to deliver an adventure into a world never before seen on Wii.

And in D3D and in OpenGL plugins - game good work.

But.. same shadow disable, if put in the settings:
Enable EFB copy - to texture.
^_^
Now - to ram.
And .. vu alya.. T A D A M!!! (looks on screens)

Screens:
1) - (..58-07) it's D3D plugin. FPS in video&game 40-60 stable
2) - (..39-79) it's OpenGL. FPS in video 40-60, FPS in game 20-40. "+" Everything is blurry, and more light.

You are right mate,but it´s just me or this game looks too much "low resolution" ? i know that is a wii game but this one don´t get much better than in wii. It´s almost like the emulator is not pushing the game out, and that´s maybe why we can play it "Enable EFB copy - to ram", otherwise it would be to slowly. But is great. Thanks

yeah, the shadows are very low res because you need EFB to RAM for them. Not sure why that is, but I've seen the same thing in other games (e.g. the coins in NSMBWii).

In new revision game perfect playable. But video plagin (i'm use DX9) no correct work.
Enable EFB copy - to ram and texture:
1 - to texture
2 - to ram

[djsolidsnake86]

at level 31, the game became slow using copy to ram

[Damphil]

maybe.. i'm on 51F and setting config - to ram or to texture. Sometimes.. good work.

UPD 1st post

[Raptor2099]

With the DirectX 11 plug-in the shadows look super smooth, unlikt OpenGL and DirectX 9 plug-ins, however since you can't use Copy EFB to RAM in DX11 the shadows aren't all displayed. Is there any way to enable Copy EFB to RAM in the DX11 plug-in ?

No.
