Game: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - GZLE01

Description: If you're playing with EFB2RAM, the lenses flare that the game does can glitchy out. At 1X IR, it seems to be most stable in that you can watch work properly for about 20 - 30 seconds before it acts stupid. Once it's broken, it will constantly flicker between working and broken at random intervals.

EFB2Texture does not seem to suffer from this bug, and handles the lenses flare properly. As far as I can tell it handles it just as the console would; without any of the annoying flickering or glitching out that happens on EFB2RAM.

This is also the source of the "seeing the sun through the floor" issue reports we saw. This bug does not show up immediately and in all areas; it seems to pick and choose when it'll show up.

This was discovered in Zelda-HLE 4.0-4727, and reproduced in Master 4.0-4713.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Dragon Roost Cavern and jump into the pot that takes you to the end of the level.
2. In the room it takes you, if you have EFB2RAM on, sometimes you'll be able to see the sunlight through the floor. If not, go through the door to the next room outside.
3. Turn on EFB2RAM, look at the sun, and then move backwards to hide it behind the wall, and the lenses flare will be broken most of the time. Changing the internal resolution will temporarily fix it. 1X IR will fix it longest.

Screenshots: Now in the ultimate bullsh*t move; this bug doesn't show up in fifologs or screenshots! If you take a screenshot of it, the lenses flare will be correctly culled. BUT, we have another way of telling it's broken! The rest of the area will be dimmed as if the lenses flare is out, thus, we can see it is still wrong.

When I took the EFB2RAM screenshot, the sunlight looked bright as hell.
