Description

Game Name?
Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Game ID?
G5SP7D

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)
I cannot generate a MD5 Hash, because the button "Verify Integrity" is disabled, no matter what i select.

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
When you beginn in the first wordl, the sky is purple, because of the purple tentacles blocking the cave to Gnasty Gnorc. The block will go if you destroyed all 10 dark gems in the first world. After this the sky will clear up in a bright blue. But when you walk around in the start area, you see the sky is stil purple. If you look manually in the sky, by pressing the L-Button, you can see the bright sky. But if you look more to the ground, the sky flips to purple. So you can flip the sky to purple or bright, just looking to the sky or more to ground.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

5.0-20785

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

I don't know, but i saw it already 2-3 years ago already.

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.)

[First broken version number here (if applicable)]

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

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
CPU and GPU: 4th Generation Intel Core i5: 4300U with Intel HD Graphics 4400 (1.9 GHz, 3MB cache, 2 cores) Up to 2.9 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit 22H2
RAM: 8 GB

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

The screenshots was all taken, after Gnasty Gnorc was beaten. But the sky issue can possibly seen, after opening the cave to Gnasty Gnorc without beating him.

Hi, could you provide your save file, I'd like to check if I'm getting the issue as well.

Here is my Gamecube savefile for Spyro - A Hero's Tail.

The first game position loads a state, where Spyro have 10 dark gems but didn't open the cave. Here I found i new behaviour: When Spyro is opening the cave, the sky turns to blue and stays blue. Only when you beat Gnasyt Gnorc, the sky begins to flip between purple and blue.

The third save positon loads a state, where Spyro has beaten Gnasty Gnorc. The Sky is flipping between purple and blue when you use manual viewing.

Here are some save states, but only 7 days available: https://we.tl/t-iLG69rCSeq
