Uh oh, looks like a texture caching issue.

Also, do you have SSSE3? (S-SSE3 not SSE3) Check it with CPU-Z

Yup, looks like. Pokemon games are annoying, we'll have to hash on the whole texture
soon because of them :P
Ok well, I don't own this game. So ekshenman, are you able to build dolphin?

ekshenman, ok good.
Look for the "TexDecoder_GetSafeTextureHash" function in VideoCommon->TextureDecoder.cpp.
You'll find these vars:
...
const int edgeSkip = 3;
const int colSkip = 3;
const int rowSkip = 5;
...
Now you have to lower a bit rowSkip and eventually colSkip (edgeSkip shouldn't be a
problem normally) then test your game until text appears correctly. I suggest you to
begin with all value to 1 just to make sure the problem is really there. I hope it
will be ok by just lowering rowSkip to 4.

Take care to report the "just-enough" value and not blindly "I tested with all at 1
and it's ok". You hold the whole Dolphin speed perf in your hand ;P

mb2, I really don't like arbitrary valued variables. We should calculate a correct
value instead.

XK, how will you do that calculation?
They can't be better than statistically guessed values.
Here we have text textures with thin white chars over a uniform black bg. I think in
that case, robust hash diffs are not obvious if we skip too many texture data.

So you just want to set a global minimum?

Mmm... I have some problem. I install Visual Studio 2008, TortoiseSVN-1.5.7.15182-
win32-svn-1.5.5 and where download all source?

Everything you need to know is here:

XK, yes. But I was j/k, I don't think it's that important for the perf anyway ;)

When I set rowSkip = 4 is better (best), but this is problem not gone:( I think
problem in not there, because I set all variable at 1 and nothing changed:(
