Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start new game
  2. Watch for video sequence following the Intro Text.

What is the expected output? Video should not be Interlaced. Background should be black with stars texture shown
What do you see instead? Major interlacing (consistent black horizontal lines top to borrom of screen) for intro movie. Also displays what I think is the texture for the skybox for once you get on the planet, as the interlaced background for intro movie.

Dolphin version with the problem? Other Dolphin version without the
problem? All Revs of Dolphin for as long as I can remember. I swear I made an issue for this a long time ago but just searched before this post and couldn't find it.

32-bit or 64-bit and any other build parameters? 32 and 64

OS version and versions of tools/libraries used? Win 7 x64 (previously tested on vista 32/64)

Please provide any additional information below.
If you enable Pixel Depth, it solves the problem of the wrong texture loading but everything is still interlaced and you also get the black skys in game among other glitches that we already know about with this option.

what happens if you toggle anisotropic filtering?

I'll have to try that when I get home from work, but I do beleive I've messed around with the settings before. Also since this has been an issue I have always had but no one else seems to have submitted the issue, could this be caused by a bad rip? I had an issue with a bad rip of Metroid Other M.

Toggling 1x to 16x anisotropic filtering did not change anything as far as this issue.

I thought this issue is already known since a very long time and is "accepted".
So I never made a new Issue for that problem.
I can confirm, there is and was never anny setting which fixes this.
Would be cool if finally someone finds a way to fix this.

"I thought this issue is already known since a very long time and is "accepted"

  • I thought so too but I searched and couldn't find it that's why i created this one.

also @ Nick are you using a PAL rip? I finally was able to rip my USA disc and the problem is gone. But it still affects the PAL rip I ripped from a friend of mine.

I haven't tested any new revisions since I posted this issue so not sure if anything recently have fixed this issue. As Previously mentioned my PAL didnt work and Nick you have confirmed your PAL doesnt work, however my NTSC works just fine, this might be a PAL only issue. Seems to be a lot of PAL issues going on lately. Can anyone else confirm this.

The intro definitely still shows the interlacing problem. This is with OGL, Linux, PAL. Progressive setting doesn't matter, XFB doesn't either.

For clarification: the intro mentioned is displayed when starting a new game, after a textual briefing, just before the player gains control.

I just checked the video itself (openPartOne.thp), and it is fine. The game just fails to display it correctly, while it manages to do that with all(most of?) the others. Notable about this video is, that it is one of the few videos in 640x368(the other ones are: gameEnding_PlanetAether.thp, lastStandFlashback.thp), while the rest is 640x448(essentially all the menu animations). I don't know if the two other ingame videos have this issue.

I'm making this change because the old issue report dialogue didn't ask for Game ID, which makes it confusing when scrolling through issues.

Does this problem still occur?

I fixed a whole bunch of PAL interlacing issues a while back.

Actions #15

Updated by pierre about 10 years ago

Still occurs. I guess they switch the output buffer between two memory locations, each containing the lines of one field, and some "random" old data in the lines between. It is probably necessary to add some post processing combining the lines from the last field and the ones from the current one.

This is still happening. Tested with d3d and opengl on 4.0-6575.

As far as i can tell, the aspect ratio is correct. I would upload a nice clean screenshot taken via usb gecko, but i could not get Gecko dNet to connect(tried converting an action replace master code, no luck, most likely a master code + hook issue).

PS: The game always runs in 60Hz mode, even if the pal60 bit is not set in SRAM, and it does not ask about it.

Updated by seapancake almost 8 years ago

Still occurs in 4.0-9168 on OGL/D3D11.

Bug is still present in 5.0-3539
Tested with OGL/DX11/DX12/Vulkan under Win10.

  • Fixed in set to 5.0-7151

Fixed with the addition of the copy filter.

  • Fixed in deleted (5.0-7151)

There's apparently more problems with this video than just the copy filter blurring.

Actions #22

Updated by FireNX70 over 1 year ago

Still broken on 5.0-17403. Tried Manual texture sampling, disabling Disable copy filter and enabling fast depth just in case (all of these separately, not simultaneously). None of them seemed to have any effect.

Seems like neither the recent copy filter fixes nor Manual texture sampling fixed this. By the way, this doesn't show up if you look up MP2 issues through the wiki's link.

Actions #23

Updated by FireNX70 over 1 year ago

After testing on hardware, it turns out that you can replicate this on a real GC (PAL game on a PAL console) by forcing progressive video through Swiss. However, disabling Dolphin's "Enable progressive scan" option does nothing; it's still broken in the exact same way.
