Description

Game Name?

LIT (aka School of Darkness in Japan)

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

WLTEWY

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)

[Put MD5 Hash here]

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

At the title screen, some of the text do not turn red when hovering onto them with the Wii Remote. This is how should it behave (recorded on real hardware): https://youtu.be/-ZVmep9T7fo

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Load the game
  2. Wait until the title screen appears
  3. Hover onto any text. Only the map seems to turn red when light is onto it, the rest does not. Plus that for some weird reason text in Brightness setting is absent (it shows properly on real hardware).

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. This was reproduced on 2409-45.

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

Yes. 2409 build.

If the issue isn't present in the latest release, 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.)

Unknown. In fact there is a video footage of it running on 4.0.2 which exposes the same issue.

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)

AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, Radeon Vega 8 GPU, Windows 10 22H2

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

Attached proof as screenshots.

Some notes regarding the issue: none of the accuracy settings seem to fix it. Not even switching to EFBtoRAM mode.

Have you tried setting the texture cache to safe?

This is a gamma issue.

So the correct behaviour is demonstrated 16 mins into the video (https://youtu.be/-ZVmep9T7fo?t=960)

On the console pointing at the screen during the credits will display the right hand column text, Dolphin doesn't display any text there at all.
(The credits section is got to also by just selecting that option in the bottom left of the title screen)

Yes, the brightness section option looks absent since the text isn't highlighting and the background colour is black.

I have checked with the following PR https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/10863 which adds logging for the audio/video encoder. and the log gets very heavily populated as this game runs

https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/13074 (https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/c0/66/pr-13074-dolphin-latest-x64.7z) seems to fix the black text based on the fifolog. It won't affect the gamma correction though.

I tested the PR and it works well. It solves all the issues in LIT except for the brightness adjustment not working.

I am assuming https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12974 is more appropriate for the brightness adjustment issue, and should be left out of scope here?
