Also that site sucks, does not work for me.

Space: yes, yes,i realized that as I was uploading it.
Site awesomeness: It's good, trust me.
Link not working: It's works for me, I just made it searchable also. You should be able to get. Try again please.

Your link goes no where, just copy paste mine and it'll work.

Yup, both only seem to work when copied and pasted, at least with Google Chrome

Changing "tex.texMode1[i&3].max_lod >> 4" in the TextureCacheBase::Load calls in VertexManager.cpp to "tex.texMode1[i&3].max_lod >> 5" apparently "fixes" the issue. I doubt that's what we want to do there, however.

It's likely that issue 5461 is a duplicate of this.

I was tracking the LOD modifications, because rodolfo told me about he has fixed that and you modified that after, but if difficult for my because iam not a graphics programmer. Anyway rodolfo says is trash textures, because the LOD is not right so, the solution is divide for a bigger number. But i dont understand nothing about this :)

I still trackig more LOD modifications

In this age theare is a lot of lod modfications

well, here rodolfo change again to 4

I dont understand, I will ask to him

AFAICT tm0.lod_bias is in UX.5 format and min/max_lod in U4.4 format, so the shifts should be fine. I.e. I don't think it's correct to shift max_lod by 5.

This game has all kinds of issues, fastmips working or not is not the real issue.

What are you talking about dude? Mipmaps is one of the TWO issues this game has - the other being polygon boundary problem (mostly a problem in menus). Mipmaps being the biggest issue in gameplay - once that's fix to match the old "fast mipmaps" behavior, the game is extremely playable.

What was the point of the comment? Native Dolphin mipmaps causes black textures all over the place and IS it's own issue. Please don't make useless, uninformed comments like that here.

And the zfreeze (currently only software) fixes up the spikey polygon issue pretty well (perfect menus, but still get a couple "spikes" on characters).

So with proper mimpaps and a hardware solution for the zfreeze stuff, this game would be almost perfect!

GTEE01 - 1080: Avalanche
GWRE01 - WAVE RACE / BLUE STORM
Also have mipmap issues that look very similar to this, fast mipmaps does "fix" them as well.

Can also add
GIKE70 - IKARUGA - show up as white instead of black. Easy to spot during the first level launch sequence.
G3BE9G - Serious Sam - show up as purple or green. Bullet decals and all over the Monkeys of Juyongguan level are the most noticable.

sorry for bumping, but i have found another game that is affected by fast mipmaps disabled.
G8ME010- Paper Mario TTYD: the loading of large areas, like the opening intro scene, and the glitz pit, is bugged. It will flash from the expected output to a black screen and back rapidly. Also, the fight with macho grubba is really difficult to beat as when he grows to his best height and uses his ability to be shifty or dodgy, the screen rapidly flickers between the screen and a black screen.
