Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi,

I was just curious if it is possible to fix this problem I have with player characters. In all of the games I have tried it appears as if there is shadows around the player characters. The environments seem to look just fine, it is only the characters.

All of my software is up to date.




I have two versions of wii dolphin: r7505 and r7483
I am on a 2010 base Macbook Pro 13 inch.
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 gig ram
NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

Settings?

I am pretty sure that is all of them.

Ok, I have tried those settings and still no luck. My internal resolution is: Auto(WindowSize) I can choose from a couple different settings: Auto (Multiple of 640x528) and so on, got a headache so do not feel like listing them all out. I was hoping it was some sort of character lighting I could tweak or even shadows. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that it is most likely the inadequate graphics card equipped with this machine. I love the look and feel of the mac, but i guess it just doesn't cut it for me.

Did you try internal resolution x1?

Just tried Internal resolution x1, still no luck ^_^. Do you have any ideas what the cause of this problem might be?

Nope.

Try EFB to RAM.

Ahh...I do not know why I did not think of that.
