Description

Game Name?

Mario Kart Double Dash, Medal of Honour Frontline, New Super Mario Bros, The Sims, The Sims and Bustin' Out

Game ID?

GM4E01, GMFE69, SMNP01, GCIE69, G4ME69

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

Well where to start, I downloaded the latest build to see if the added FMA4 support did anything for my Bulldozer CPU. It's hard to determine all of the problems but among them are:

ingame video playback/intro corruption and pixelation
menu items and boxes in wrong areas
erratic 2D animations and warping of 3D models with animation (Mario Kart Double Dash)
black intro screens upon starting the game and crashing upon 3D rendering (Medal OF Honour Frontline)
weird camera angles control stretching beyond the game maps (sims and sims bustin out)

What did you expect to happen instead?

A performance increase.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

If you have an AMD bulldozer chip then just open the games in regular JIT and you'll see some of the problems from the start.

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?

4.0-6597

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

4.0-6594

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

Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
AMD FX-6100
AMD Radeon HD 7870 (Tahiti LE) with 14.12 Omega drivers
8gb DDR3

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
