Description

Game Name?

Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)

G8ME01

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 giant NPC mobs that appear in the game are missing character models. These mobs are usually lower resolution copies of regular models so the game can display hundreds of them at a time.

I posted this issue before and it appeared random back then. I thought it was due to dual core issues but I don't feel that is the case any more.

The issue is much more prevalent in the latest build of dolphin to the point regardless of my chosen settings I can not resolve it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

You can see this at the very beginning of the game right after the very first battle.

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

5.0-21593

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

No it is also not present in version 5.0-18219 which some listed on the Wiki as working perfectly.

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.)

5.0-21088

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

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

RTX 4070 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700HX 2.10 GHz 16GB ram

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

That's a side effect of broken bounding box emulation. Update your GPU drivers and make sure you haven't disabled bounding box.

I did have a pending driver update. The issue is still the same after the update. The latest versions of dolphin seem to have issues with bounding box emulation that version 5.0-18219 does not have.

If I get a fresh download of a new version it is always broken out of the box like this. While version 18219 always works. Bounding box is enables for both as it is turned on by default when running Paper Mario ttyd.

In that case please bisect it to the version that broke it for you. I just tried on 5.0-21593 and it works fine on my end.

It works in version 5.0-20347-x64

It first breaks in version 5.0-21088-x64

It's unlikely the specific changes of 5.0-21088 caused this.
It sounds like you're only testing the "beta" versions?
Please bisect to determine the first "development" version with the issue.

That would be "Add support for custom aspect ratios": https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/12170

Odd. This has no direct connection to bounding box.

Yeah I dunno why. I can grab some logs later.

Updated by ccage 7 months ago

Here are the logs for each versions

I had them both using DX12 with ubershaders, auto res scaling with FFXA, turned off dual core for both and turned on MMU for both.
