Emulator

You'll need to tell us more than if it's been around for a while to get any kind of easy fix. Comparisons between console and emulators would be great too.

Yeah. I guess I was kinda vague when I said it was around "for a while".

It's been in every iteration since... well... how does 3.5 sound?

Also, I checked the FIFO on Software Renderer and D3D. Still there. Software Renderer even has that EFB to RAM issue.

Here's some footage dated to 2006. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjcTc_i5YRs

I have a hunch it might have something to do with Anti-Aliasing? But that doesn't explain everything...

Do you have the widescreen hack enabled or anything silly? I tried out Pokemon XD and did some random battles, didn't notice anything weird.

Well, I like playing with 16x Anisotropic and 8x AA.

That footage from 2006 is not Dolphin footage.

Sound support wasn't even added until 2007.

Yeah. That's the point.

He wanted footage of the game on console.

I still haven't been able to reproduce this issue, as stupid as it sounds. I still believe it's valid though. Can you test the latest versions of Dolphin regardless just to keep this up to date on things?

Well, it occurs during 8x MSAA.

Hell, it wouldn't be beyond reasonable doubt for me just being stupid. But still, I think it's an issue worth investigating if you ever get tired of whatever you're doing and wanna go poking around looking for funny business in the rendering. Feel free to bury it under the pile of more important issues if ya want.

I've been playing through Pokemon XD on netplay, and keeping an eye out for this issue. I've been playing in single core, so if this is caused by some GPU/CPU desync shenanigans, I wouldn't run into it.

If it's still happening to you, then it's just going to continue to get buried; I have no leads nor ability to help with the fifologs.

If this only happens with certain enhancements then I'm unfortunately compelled to close this issue. Maybe a better solution would be a secondary issue enveloping all games with issues with specific enhancements, that way there's more interest and activity.

Well shucks. I mean, I know that using enhancements pretty much invalidates the report to begin with, but it sure is strange that MSAA would mess with shadows in such a big way. Speaking of, this phenomena has also been seen in Custom Robo's story mode, for what it's worth.

OH WELL! OFF THE INVALID HEAP FOR THIS!

And as for XD over netplay, how would you even do that? Just using those premade teams in the quick battle mode? ...and can I play with you?

Sounds fun.

Do you mind if I join? I lounge around Showdown and preordered XD (I still have the stickers on my GameCube!), so I'm far from a stranger to the game.

Also, I haven't the faintest idea what you could do with netplay regarding the main story.

Regarding that: I wonder if we could setup a tournament on netplay regarding Pokemon Battle Revolution once Wii netplay is more mature...

Since I might as well run this by you before creating a whole issue page, a Skarmory sent out in the Under Colosseum has a black eye on the right side of its head. It's almost completely black to the point of it looking like a texture didn't load, and it only does that on one side of its head.

I'll leave the FIFO here (not the best shot, I know. Free Camera is such a godsend), and if you think it's worth an issue submission I'll move any further discussion there. I just don't want to report on something that may be minor and add ANOTHER thing to toss onto the Won't fix pile!
