08:55 PM Emulator Emulator Issues #14041: Very long door transition in RE3 GCN only during Movie Recording

I believe it happens in single core period. And TASing requires single core. I remember seeing this issue in normal gameplay a while back. I can see if anyone else remembers if there was a work-around. JMC4789

04:05 PM Emulator Emulator Issues #14041: Very long door transition in RE3 GCN only during Movie Recording

It's a timing issue, and since Dolphin isn't cycle accurate anyway, I suggest playing with the emulated CPU clock rate up/down a few percent. JMC4789

03:54 AM Emulator Emulator Issues #14009: Some Wii games cannot complete a shutdown

pop_OS!'s cosmic window manager is incredibly buggy and has problems not displayed on other computers. A ton of apps are having problems since I've upgraded on mine so I wouldn't be surprised if this is just bugs in cosmic. On my Arch ... JMC4789

05:08 AM Emulator Emulator Issues #14003: Falling through solid floors in Mario Sunshine since 2603

I have a feeling this is because of the FMA changes, and your processor doesn't support FMA and is using the alt-path. JMC4789

09:23 PM Emulator Emulator Issues #13243 (Invalid): The Game Freeze After 2-3 Hours of Gameplay - Super Mario Sunshine PAL (Windows)

We disabled dualcore by default, which should fix random hangs like this. Marking as invalid because I'm not sure if that was the issue. JMC4789

09:07 PM Emulator Emulator Issues #8200: Unbalanced audio with OpenAL in a multi-channel environment

Whoops PR wasn't merged yet. But, I still think there are better options than OpenAL. JMC4789

08:48 PM Emulator Emulator Issues #8200 (Won't fix): Unbalanced audio with OpenAL in a multi-channel environment

OpenAL was removed from Dolphin eventually, so this can be closed. It might have been fixed eventually before it got removed but I don't know. JMC4789

09:03 PM Emulator Emulator Issues #8774: Scan Visor not scanning properly, unable to scan some objects.

So, in recent years it's come to light that the scanning behavior of the later metroid games can be influenced by internal resolution, causing some objects to take a higher priority. JMC4789
