Metroid Prime trilogy black bar - Duckman - 07-19-2020

Hi, all.

Well i registered on the forum because i hope someone can help me with graphical problem in Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii). I am using this special version of Dolphin emulator called primehack which is made for running this trilogy with M/K controls. And everything works great except this annoying black bar at the bottom of the screen.
I googled for hours on this and i see it's a known issue. Something to do with enabling XFB. When i enable it, the black bar is here. When i disable it, it is gone but i get flickering at the top of the screen in the same width as that black bar. Idk what to do. I tried enabling PAL 60 mode in configuration /Wii section because that is the fix i found online, but it doesn't work.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated. TY. Smile

The proper fix is to turn off dual core.

That's the first thing i did. But i managed to fix it by loading the actual game save, not the save state with a hotkey. Loading save state sometimes introduces black bar issue. Fixed.

Just another reason in a long list of reasons why I don't use save states and rely on ingame saves.
