Emulator

As always, don't hesitate to ask me questions, as long as you keep in mind that I'm just a "dumb" end-user.

I forgot to mention that bot FIFO logs are recordings of the issue. If you need the recording of an area where the issue is not visible to me, I'll provide you with one.

I updated my GPU drivers with a (allegedly) clean driver installation. 497.29 to 511.23 (Believe it or not, the version before that was 497.29.)

The temple-of-hylia fifolog somehow seems to be a duplicate of the eldin-volcano-area one; can you create a new one for temple of hylia?

Oops... The formatting did not go according to my plan. (I really need to rely more on "Preview". 😅)

Thanks for the awesome work on this emulator, everyone! You are helping me to upgrade my Wii. Even at native resolution and without any bells and whistles, Dolphin is more beautiful than on my launch model plugged over YPbPr on the LCD TV...

Should be fixed by https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/10396 - you can try it out at https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/f1/49/pr-10396-dolphin-latest-x64.7z.

Thanks! Yep. Everything is fine now.

Thanks a lot for the quick fix.

I'm eager to read the blog entry when the beta release is published. I bet there will be a lot to talk about. 😅

Copy Filter will soften things a bit, but having it used is going to be more accurate. Disabling the Copy Filter in games that don't support it is a hack.

Thanks. I managed to understand that previously. :)

Will you or someone else write about the manual textures sampling (or whatever the name or that new Dolphin feature is)? It seems to make a difference in Skyward Sword too.

Manual Texture Sampling is also more accurate. We'll be talking about it in a progress report soon.

It seems like a similar issue happens in Wii Sports Resort (as with this, only when the copy filter is enabled), which makes sense since during my brief investigation for #10398 it looked like it does bloom in a similar way to Skyward Sword.

I feel very bad for asking, but do you have a very estimated time of arrival for a fix on the dev "branch"?

I'm not that desperate and I know this is all volunteering (and I'm grateful), but I'm also curious about the process. 😅

Again, thanks a lot, everyone!

When code review is finished - that could be any time, but hopefully it'll make it in before the beta build when progress report comes out (since this regressed after the last beta build (5.0-15445), so it'd be bad to have it in the more stable beta build). Betas are theoretically supposed to be monthly, but that hasn't exactly been what's happened lately :)

I thought about that too. 😅 Thanks for the reply! I'll let the "adults" decide. 😛

Turns out it's still broken when EFB to VRAM copies are disabled. Note that "disable copy filter" is ignored (and the copy filter is always used) for EFB to RAM copies. Fortunately the exact same fix works for this; it just needs to be applied in a second location: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/10410
