What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When enabling XFB (no matter Virtual or Real) the game starts to flicker or loses half of it's framerate (30 fps instead of 60), not both. That happens ingame (tried in underwater part of Torvus Bog), sometimes in the main menu too. If XFB is disabled, the game behaves as usual, but there's that black-bar-and-squishing bug.
Other games seems to be ok (tried some titles, not including other Metroid games though).

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Enable XFB Virtual or Real, then launch the game and start playing.

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?
4.0-7864 to current (4.0-7952 at the moment) have this bug.
4.0-7862 and older are ok.
Apparently, the problem was introduced in 4.0-7864.

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Intel Core i3-3120M
NVIDIA GeForce GT645M
6 GB of RAM
