Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Ok, this is the third and final cross-post on this issue.
I've also posted it in the Xenoblade texture thread and created a thread in the support section. However, Ishiiruka has different comments about the errors than Dev builds so I'm also posting the Ishiiruka version of the logs here just incase the comments of the error are more than just different verbage/wording.

I recently found out how to actually use the built-in log window, and upon loading custom textures for Xenoblade I get the following errors.
These logs were taken from build 565. Ishiiruka 524 reports the same thing (did NOT test any other versions).

DDS version

PNG Version

When I initially reported my findings in the thread I only posted the DDS log. At that time Bighead (current texture pack maintainer) was confused (some comments were "This mipmap layer _must_ be 1x0" which is impossible), and was guessing this might be a false positive (my post in the Support section is to confirm this, but no replies as of this post timestamp).




Also, I found an interesting issue with Ishiiruka (does NOT happen with dev builds).
If I have a game running in the background that is doing framebuffer effects (ex. light blooming) and I go to watch a video that uses "H.264" codec, the video will have random skips and jumps. Framerate is fine, audio sync is fine, but every now and then it will insert a frame from 30ms or so ago. It only happens WITH Ishiiruka running in the background, the same video will play perfectly fine as soon as framebuffer effects are not being rendered or emulation is stopped. I guess another way to try to explain it would be to think of how triple buffering works, and imagine a psuedo-4th frame buffer that the last displayed frame gets sent to outside the triple buffer sequence and awaits to be replaced (like a "to be destroyed" stack of crap) only it doesn't and sometimes this frame gets swapped into the triple buffer sequence again.

I noticed this when I went to watch a video in youtube with Xenoblade running in the background.

Confirmed H.264 codecs to be problematic by toggling "media.mediasource.webm.enabled" from False (default) to True (User defined), in About:Config
Didn't happen in Chrome/Opera (stats for nerds > video/webm; codecs="vp9")

This is RE Remake logo. The same code. Pass the mouse over to see the differences

Hyllian, Retroarch are running dolphin now?

I'll try reinstalling a few drivers and then I'll give up, custom textures aren't a necessity to me while smoothness is

Just DLed Dolphin 4.0-8983, made Sonic Colors very playable, yet broke Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, keep getting Fog errors like crazy, even after I implemented disable fog feature. it won't even open the Character Roll, get this in the log

Also, here is the Fog error..
06:33:428 PixelShaderGen.cpp:1162 W[Video]: Unknown Fog Type! 00000001

it repeats through the entire fight sequence, like non-stop.

You should make an issue report for this ASAP if a) you are using the very latest build from https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ and still get this error, b) you have verified that your dump is not corrupt by verifying your md5 hash on sites like gametdb (http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/STKE08), and c) you have gone through this page https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/projects/emulator/issues to ensure that no one has reported it yet. Also a good idea to bisect and find the build that first introduced this error when making the issue report (look back a thousand or so builds at a time until the error does not occur and then go forward a few hundred builds until the error occurs and narrow from there.)

Sincerely: shellashock

PS: Glad to see that you improved your performance! Can you share some numbers comparing your old build vs the new build?

Hyllian, Retroarch are running dolphin now?

No, just using the imageviwer core from Retroarch to display Dolphin pngs.

updated the latest folder with a new version, merge latest master changes, cleaned efb cache code, added new aspect ratio modes and disable filter options to help hyllian.

Force 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10 seem to like to change to 16:9 automatically just like having "Auto" set. You can see this in the Twilight Princess [GC] title screen as Auto usually scales the title screen the 4:3 but in game at 16:9 if you have the widescreen ar code enabled.

The Force 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10 will work on the title screen but then automatically change to 16:9 in game.

I'm not sure if this was by design or not, just mentioning my observation.

Not sure if this is a bug report or not, But can someone help a noob out?

I've been using this guys guide here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZoDxHyWeNs
to help me create displacement and normal maps for the OoT HD texture pack on this forum. however, putting the files in the texture folder yields no result...

Link to the textures i created (also a review of how good or bad i did would be great )
