"Store XFB Copies to Texture Only" should be off in the gameini for MGS: Twin Snakes
0%
Description
Game Name?
METAL GEAR SOLID THE TWIN SNAKES
Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)
GGSEA4
MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
The Codec screen won't be rendered correctly unless "Store XFB copies to texture only" is disabled. The gameini doesn't default to this.
Open MGS, "store XFB copies to texture only" won't be set to off so if it was on the codec screen won't render correctly
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Yes 5.0-1271
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Not applicable, this just needs a gameini update
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)
Not applicable, this just needs a gameini update
Also the bisect tool for Windows is still broken, pls fix :(
If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer
Not applicable
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
i7 9750H
RTX 2070
32 GB RAM
W10 64 bits
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

MGS Twin Snakes is the superior version of the game btw

- Status changed from New to Working as intended
The impact of this is small enough that we don't think forcing everyone to take the performance hit is worth it. That this setting is required for correct behavior should get documented on the wiki, though.

"MGS Twin Snakes is the superior version of the game btw"
Well this issue is invalid ;)

I don't want to open yet another issue just in case this is invalid or user error so I'll ask here:
Is it normal that the heuristic to detect the aspect ratio doesn't automatically detect this game as 16:9 when using the widescreen gecko code in the wiki? The code works perfectly, but Dolphin doesn't detect it's 16:9, I have to set it manually to force 16:9 in the graphics option rather than leaving it on Auto.
