Does setting the texture cache to safe solve this?

Updated by Sonic2026x 2 months ago Actions #8

It looks like it worked!
I'm not sure if this setting will affect the rest of the game, but this bug goes away when I set the options the way you said.
Thanks so much for your help!

I think this is also resolved with the Texture Cache Accuracy set to the middle position.

Can you please confirm that the middle position also fully resolves the issue?

And it seems like the issue occurs primarily when the language is set to Japanese, not English?

I'll then add this to the game ini so others don't run into the issue.

Unfortunately, if you set the slider to the middle position, the bug reappears. It only disappears when the slider is in the left position.

Can you please see if this eliminates the issue when put in the game's config file?

This is a texture cache safety mode that is only available when set from the ini file.

[Video_Settings]
SafeTextureCacheColorSamples = 2048

I set the texture caching slider to the right position. I copied the data from the link into two files. It looks like the text glitch is gone.

Updated by Billiard26 25 days ago Actions #14

Thanks. It sounds like it works.

Updated by Sonic2026x 25 days ago Actions #15

Will these settings be included in the new version of the emulator?

Updated by Billiard26 25 days ago Actions #16

Yeah, it's planned to be included.
