What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Whenever I play Metroid Prime Trilogy with XFB Virtual (to avoid the black bar issue), the screen will at some point start to flash between the game and a completely black screen. Also performance is reduced to around 40 fps, but if I press the tab key to remove the framelimit then it will speed up to roughly 90 fps.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1: Enable Virtual XFB
2: Start game
3: Create file, load file, click single player, Metroid Prime 1 (have not tested Prime 2 and Prime 3, issue likely exists in those games too), either difficulty (in theory should not have any effect)
4: Play the game, and at some point the screen will start to go epileptic and flicker between the game and a black screen every frame
One thing to note is it seems like the point where it starts flickering gradually shifts after each play of the game. E.G. first time you play it starts when Samus exits her ship, second time you play it starts when you enter gameplay, third time you play it starts when you enter the second room, etc.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?
