Any Gecko Code Used Causes 1FPS/1VPS & Under 2% - robb213 - 09-26-2016

Tried searching but nothing came up for me, so I'll ask.

I'm using 5.0-668 (x64) with NTSC-U games; I was last on 5.0-615 (x64) with the same problem (which was my first experience with Dolphin). The gecko codes I use either are global or NTSC-U specific. Now, whenever I enable a gecko code, for any game, it causes 1 FPS or under, and 1 VPS or under, along with around ~2% or under. I can try to use a code with all default settings/different APIs (with game specific changes to make sure the game itself works based on other user's experiences), and have the same problems; so for instance no AA applied, game's native resolution (6##x4##), and so forth. The emulator overclock makes no difference, but for the sake of troubleshooting I'll leave it off for this discussion.

However, if I use the Ishiiruka fork, it all runs flawlessly with gecko codes.

Any clues as to why Dolphin won't work with them but Ishiiruka does?

RE: Any Gecko Code Used Causes 1FPS/1VPS & Under 2% - Admentus - 09-26-2016

First, you should not be using the current 30 FPS code, which is outdated and simply broken. There is a much better and improved version, all thanks to darkludx! This version works for Ocarina of Time (NTSC-U) for the Collector's Edition disc. You need to add both codes. You also seem to use a code called Press R, which I have no clue of what it does. The same 20/30 FPS Switch also has it's own variants for both games on the NTSC-U Master Quest disc. When adding codes, be careful if the code is AR or Gecko. Not adding a code properly can break your experience.

Code:

As for the widescreen code, you should use one of the following codes (you also need one of the render fix codes). Your current version is also outdated. You still need to search and add the extended view distance code separately through. Also for the NTSC-U Collectors' Edition Ocarina of Time:

RE: Any Gecko Code Used Causes 1FPS/1VPS & Under 2% - leolam - 09-26-2016

Gecko codes are currently broken in master (since 5.0-619). It's a known regression from a CoreTiming cleanup. PR 4216 fixes that, but no one has merged it yet.

Quote:However, if I use the Ishiiruka fork, it all runs flawlessly with gecko codes.

Any clues as to why Dolphin won't work with them but Ishiiruka does?

Ishiiruka is based on the master branch, but it's not always up-to-date, so it may not have integrated the latest changes (and the regression) yet. Or it may have integrated them, but applied to fix or reverted the commit that causes issues.
