Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I start this thread in hope to gather info of the revs, links and builds that run specific games well (compared to the latest builds) in one place to be able to trace them easy. I will start myself by posting a few and edit this post with any additional builds that are made available. Feel free to contribute.

Games: Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
Recommended special build (posted by ArarisValerian)
Build with Twilight Princess Hyrule Speedup Hack + bloom removal patch for the GC version(also the minimap is fixed).
r5846 x64
r5846 x86

(Additional info: To enable the Bloom Patch please go to your graphics plug-in and enable "Enable Hotkey" under the Advanced Tab. Pressing "7" in-game will alternate the Patch (on the Wii version it flips the screen to the original Gamecube version so you'll need to remap your pad or keyboard to account for the inversion in the x-axis, the Gamecube version is fine). I built the x64 and x86 versions exactly to the patches specification (Both features will only work with the DX9 Plugin). As for additional graphic settings, disable safe texture cache, use EFB copy to RAM and check "check for textures modified by the cpu" in the graphics advanced panel of the dx9 plugin .

Games: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance NGC (disable optimize quantizers), Mario golf TT NGC, Virtua Striker 2 2002(tlb hack and unlimited cache enabled)
Recommended rev r4727
Dolphin-x64-r4727
Dolphin-r4727 x86

Games: Eternal Darkness NGC
Recommended special build (tnx IcemanSR)
Dolphin-r5774 x64
Dolphin-r5774 x86

(Additional info:Singlecore setup works perfectly in all ways. Dualcore is still bit unstable,tendencies to cpu's outbursts,if that happens during videos it might result with hangs and or loss of some sound effects.(voice acting etc). Same as previous use Dx11 for perfect graphic ,do not use any hacks(zelda etc) use idle skipping.do not use safetexture or cpu->efb etc stuff they will only slow down the game but u won't benefit nothing from it.EFB copy and EFB scaled copy are only requirements. I advise setting fps limit to 60(NTSC) and or fps limit 50(PAL). Auto fps limit will just slow down the game unnecessary. Do not use audio throttle. If u cannot use Dx11 for any reason u can use Dx9 and or OpenGL but then zelda hack must be applied,in order to see letters etc ,but it will broke some other graphic,like in game maps etc.)

Games: Monster Hunter 3 Wii, Rocky TT
Recommended special build
r5786 x64
r5786 x86

(Additional info: use direct3d and enable EFB scaled copy,Enable Hotkey in game Press 7 (not on numpad) to remove bloom, to remove blackness of character restore original bloom by pressing 7 and enter/exit village ,then apply 7 again to get correct textures.)

Games: Battalion wars 2 Wii
Recommended rev r5684 (use of dsp LLE plugin recommended)
r5684 x64
r5684 x86

Games: Naruto Shippuden Clash of Ninja 3 Wii,Tatsunoko VS. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars (black textures fix)
Recommended special build
r5811 x64
r5811 x86

Games: Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands Wii
Recommended special build
r5192 x86
r5192 x64

Games: A boy and his Blob Wii
Recommended rev r5774 (no black lines with directx11 plugin)
r5774 x86
r5774 x64


EDIT: This thread has become a bit obsolete for anyone using the latest rev. Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands, Monster Hunter 3, Eternal Darkness, etc. builds are not needed any more.

Edited link: Has now full revision (enable ZTP dx9 plugin in config) to achieve much better speed in Zelda:Twilight princess (even in hyrule field). With it, Hyrule field will no longer be choppy and slow after about 2nd temple.
It will be full speed in all parts of game and almost full speed in HF. Note it's 64 bit.

As screenshot shows it's 64bit, it seemed to have dependencies on custom built dolphin main executable, added whole rev. to link, srry. Copy user/wii/title folder to it & try if it brings you more speed in ZTP. Use these settings.
Efb to texture
Framelimiter auto
Audio throttle off
dx9 ztp plugin
Efb scaled copy

It should work on gc&wii version.
