Description

Game Name?
Eternal Darkness

Game ID?
GEDE01

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
On the first screen with the Edgar Allan Poe quote, when the "Display in progressive mode?" text appears the whole screen goes black. Videos play but all other elements are black

What did you expect to happen instead?
Menus and non-video elements to display.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start game
  2. Wait

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
Dolphin-master (compiled from source)
Dolphin 4.0.2
Dolphin 4.0
Dolphin 3.5-1575

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
Dolphin 3.5 works 100% when you disable ZTP and custom projection.

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Lenovo T520
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz
OpenSuse 13.1
16GB of ram
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [Quadro NVS 4200M]

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

Is there any other relevant information?
Default settings or adjusted settings cause the issue.
If you do set a custom projection, you can get some of the menus back. But never all of them.

Using Dolphin 4.0.2, try enabling Progressive Scan mode under the advanced graphics options.

Also, double check that you have a complete disc dump. The MD5 of the disc image should be:

Progressive Scan mode does nothing. As soon as the option to enable progressive scan apears on the screen it all goes black.

$ md5sum.exe -b ./edark.gcm

ISO looks good, I made it from my disk so it should be.

I just tried it from my Windows pc.
Specs are
Core i7-3820 @3.6Ghz
32GB Ram
Win7 Pro 64bit
Nvidia 680GTX

Does the same thing. Its a newer Dolphin version tho
4.0.984

It is restricted to OpenGL. The DirectX renderer seems to be unaffected.

Thanks for the info. This is the same as issue 6914.

Same is happening here, ubuntu 64bit. Haven't found a way to get this working, other than using an older version of the emulator.
