Wind Waker Pictographs Black Preview

05-28-2016, 08:21 AM #1

I've been playing through The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for a while now, on the Dolphin Emulator. I've had no large issues so far and it's been working great. However, I recently came into possession of the Deluxe Picto Box. I can take pictures normally, except for one issue. When I take the picture, it gives me a black preview. If I save it, and I look at it, it is again, pitch black. However, they still work. I have given a picture to someone and the game still played normally. I'm playing with OpenGL, 2x SSAA, 8x, Scaled EFB Scale, and Per-Pixel Lighting. At the time of this issue, I wasn't using an HD Texture Pack. I'd enjoy any help.

Don't open the graphics window while playing the game, or make sure "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" is unchecked.

If the picture is black, it should also fail to detect anything on that picture. It should need you to disable efb to texture only. But i'm not 100% if you also need to disable skip efb cpu access.

I've had no issues with that. No idea why.
