Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I've tried both with the original game and the HD Texture Pack people on this forum made. I was hoping to play it with those textures if possible.

I'm fairly new to Dolphin, but if I could figure out what exactly is going on or how to fix it, I'd be very appreciative. Here's what the main menu looks like: https://imgur.com/a/Nf1Pp

I glanced over the FAQ and didn't see anything about this, and have also searched the internet for quite some time with no luck on a fix. I also did follow all the instructions for the texture pack properly (though it didn't work with the original either so that's beside the point).

To get rid of all those text boxes, turn off Graphics > Advanced > Debugging > Texture Format Overlay. It also looks like you're using the native internal resolution, so turn the internal resolution up if you want to have high-res graphics (and turn on Graphics > Enhancements > Enhancements > Scaled EFB Copy if it isn't already on).

Thank you so much, I thought I messed around with most of the settings already but it seems I overlooked that. I appreciate it a lot.

Is there any version of Dolphin that has been shown to run Xenobade better? I mean between 4.x and 5.x?

Personally I found the 4.x versions better.

I still see at times a stutter when I move the camera around and when running sometimes in 5.x versions that I don't really seer much in the 4.x versions...

When I went online surfing around, I had read people talking about the 4.x versions, but this was before 5.x came out, and they were comparing 3.x vs 4.x...


Thanks

We typically recommend 5.0 at the very least (we don't support anything older) but highly encourage people to use the latest revisions. If you look at the Dolphin Progress Reports, it's clear that a lot of fixes and improvements are constantly streaming in.

As someone said in your other thread, it sounds like you're encountering shader stutter, something that was previously unavoidable. You can now use uber shaders in Dolphin and use Hybrid Mode. That should help with the problem (if not eliminate it). Even if you don't use Dolphin's new uber shaders, shader stutter eventually goes away once your cache collects the necessary shaders. Your GPU won't have to pause to generate the shaders, and can just pull them from the cache. This requires playing through things in the game for a bit, however. But if you're playing XBC, you're likely spending enough time in any given area to eventually generate whatever shaders Dolphin calls for.

But uber shaders are an instant fix and the preferred solution around here.

It appears 4-5 times more with differents "codes numbers" but the same error. When I click "yes" on those 4-5 messages I can play a few seconds and they start happening again.

Ok thanks, I'll just play a lot and see how it goes, as I made another post, I mentioned in there, that I don't see this problem using 4.x versions...

Thanks

hi guys, what is the best version of dolphin to play this game with the 60fps patch and HD textures?

@Cromat Does it happen if you disable cheats and dual core under config? Is it xenoblade NTSC or PAL?
