Emulator

You mean the screen turn dark afterward or it doesn't load up the game? My ATI card
with newest official driver is running fine without causing any crashes, but it just
darken out the screen.

the screen turns dark, following the report of board member.

I'm really not sure when it going to be fix, but hope the emu. editor can trigger
this soon, cuz DX9 can't render the game very well.

Well, there is a area of contention with NV_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE.

It would be wise to switch to GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB.

i think it's more like a "specific caching texture issue" 'cause games like Zelda WW
that use a different texture type looks okay, but slow. However games like Soul
Calibur II use compressed textures (according to GC-Tool at least...) By how it
looks one would say that only the enviroment variable is loaded, but not the actual
texture.

Sounds very reasonable.

ATI cards, from my experience, have issues with certain texture formats. So, if they
don't support it natively, they software emulate.

Quite nasty really...

Can't fix the problem because none of the Devs use an ATI card. Feel free to contact
me if you like, I can help out with my ATI card getting this fixed. We can't let a
simple thing like you not having an ATI card stop you from fixing the issue. :)

For starters it'd be wise to only use ARB-extensions. Removing the dependencies from
NV-extensions should at least do something for the ati cards. As said earlier, there
is ARB-implementations of the NV-extensions used.

I removed all NV specific extensions I could find
please try now

No improvement here: WinXP 32-bit, ATI HD2400,R779

I already tried that sometimes ago, but it didn't seem to change anything (tried on
3850 and G80GTS)

I'm not really an OpenGL user/coder, but i read somewhere that there's some problems
with NPoT textures, that - I think - the plugin uses.
I could be completly wrong anyway. :)

No improvement here either, r779, on an Ati HD3870

The latest change to help ATI in opengl gave me a huge speed up in some game/area.
Example, the menu pof naruto GNT4 speed is ok now.

Huge thanks from my x1600 :)

Although fixed, XFB just closes the emu on startup of any game, r984

fixed, new issue for recent XFB crashes: issue 257

thanks for the fix

Ati igp hd 3200 (onboard):
dual core: true
idle skipping: false
dolphin x64

opengl:
-svn 965 17 fp and the characters are pixelated (game sssbm)
-svn 992 40 fps now

however, the floor is still black

Looks great, excellent fix.

This issue is resolved and ticket can be closed.
