=== Excessively Dark Rendering ===
=== Excessively Dark Rendering ===
When playing the PAL version in 50Hz mode, the game is significantly darker than in 60Hz modes. This occurs on console and is not an issue with Dolphin. To avoid this, use PAL60 mode when playing the PAL version of the game.

Certain music effects, such as muffled and quieter music in underwater sections and muted music while going though pipes with the Drill wisp, are missing under DSP-HLE. The effects don't play in HLE. Boosting music plays properly though. All music effects work properly under DSP-LLE. Refer {{Issue|10069}}. Fixed with {{revision|5.0-14712}}.

=== Arbitrary Mipmap Detection Distorts Textures and Models at any Resolution ===
Arbitrary Mipmap Detection heavily distorts the look of textures and models especially noticeable in areas like Asteroid Coaster. Disable it to make the game look much sharper.
=== Bloom Effects ===
The game uses bloom effects that are not displayed correctly if playing at higher than native resolution. Enable 'Native Resolution Bloom' in the graphics mods section of the game config to render bloom correctly.

=== Arbitrary Mipmap Detection Distorts Textures and Models at Higher Resolutions ===
Arbitrary Mipmap Detection heavily distorts the look of textures and models when using higher resolution than native, especially noticeable in areas like Asteroid Coaster. Disable it to make the game look much sharper.

UPDATE: I replaced my computer with an identical model (older model developed issues)... and it does NOT work nearly as well as above. Very choppy and at times laggy.
