Description

Game Name?

Super Mario Galaxy MORE

Game ID?

SB4E01

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.

Fog doesn't render correctly in the underwater stages at the very least. Rather than going through a bunch of hoops and explaining what happens, let me show you.

Console: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC9KiHUP_Tc
Emulator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MgD3Q1ngvlg

Screenshots Provided for those who don't want to use youtube. I really think in motion shows the glitch more accurately, but screenshots also show the problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]

  1. Use the cheat included in Dolphin for 242 stars if you don't have a save file
  2. If you use the cheat, you must play through the intro, then zoom right past the castle to the world map. After that go to world 6, and select Slimy Spring Galaxy.
  3. Observe

Special note: D3D9 used to do something different because it probably emulated differently. In the 10 years of Dolphin video, D3D9 was used to avoid this very awkward looking glitch.

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?

Probably 30 - 40 builds between 3.5 and 4.0-779 of TFN; including 4.0-752. I've known about this glitch forever, but didn't have the evidence I needed to post it.

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)

Because I've known about this glitch so long, I actually have evidence of it running on three of my computers.

Core i5 3570K, GTX 760, Windows 7 x64
Core i5 760, Geforce GTX 280, Windows 7 x64
Core2duo @ 2.66GHz, Sapphire ATi Radeon 5850, Windows 7 32bit

Are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version of Dolphin?

Both.

Last but not least. A fifolog.
