I was playing the game i got through the beginning of the game with no problems except for a black screen at the sword lesson that got fixed by restaring the game but now i am at the forsaken fortress right at the door for saving his sister when i enter there is a cutscene that play correctly until the end where it goes to a black screen,
here is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRRw2KvI-tM
the FPS is 15-20 on the video because of fraps.. normaly i get 30fps and sometime some slowdowns.
Taken from the wiki.

Quote:Black/gray screens
  • A black/gray screen crash may occur after certain events in the game. This can be fixed by enabling the "fix item hang" patch in the patches section of game properties (right click the game in the main dolphin window to get to game properties)
  • Be warned however that the fix item hack patch will cause audio issues. Use it only when encountering a black/gray screen crash
Ok i am trying that.... looks like it got fixed.
now can i turn that off or does it need to be on all the time

Change EFB to RAM to EFB to Texture, that's your problem.
ahhh ok going to try that i had it like that because the wiki says to

Quote:Pictobox only shows black images
Don't use EFB to texture
Photos taken in this mode it will appear black both when taken and when viewed, even if switching to EFB to RAM later the photo will continue to be black.
Don't use projection hack and Enable EFB to RAM
Pictobox will work perfectly, but bugs with waiting to see the photo continue.
Use a projection hack and Enable EFB to RAM
It's essential to use a projection hack or problems will occur: blurred distant images and black squares in Dragon Roost. When using a projection hack, photos will appear black at first, but when switching modes to view photos they will appear normally.
With r6778 issues with the pictobox should be resolved, as long as "EFB to RAM" is enabled.
[edit] Texture flickering

still cant edit that hehehe "[edit] Texture flickering" wasnt supposed to be copied
Use Texture and switch to RAM only when necessary
