Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike

Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike is a Star Wars video game developed by Factor 5 and published by LucasArts exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. Rebel Strike was developed as a sequel to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader.

In addition to the arcade flight gameplay of the previous games, it added the ability for the player to leave their starfighter to participate in ground battles as well as to enter and pilot other vehicles during certain missions. The game also adds multiplayer; both a versus mode and a co-op mode that allows two players to play all but two of the missions from Rogue Leader together. Rebel Strike features the ability to use the Game Boy Advance screen and controls to issue orders privately in versus mode, via the Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance link cable.

Rebel Strike uses the same base engine as Rogue Leader, but with even more advanced effects and hacks, including atmospheric weather, more enemies on screen at once, etc. The game has proven even more difficult to emulate than its predecessor.

Transparent Objects Layering
Transparent objects are not layered correctly with OpenGL 3.2-4.1, appearing on top of objects that should obscure them. In OpenGL 4.4+ there is no such problem. Refer.

Broken Water Rendering
Rendering of water seems to have been broken in recent revisions, it will render as static or simply gaps in the terrain. This seems related to a problem compiling a related shader: "PixelShader generator - buffer too small, canary has been eaten!" followed by a more detailed error message. Refer.

Video Special Effects Bug
Some effects, such as the Death Star explosion at the beginning of "Revenge of the Empire" are generated by rendering video on top of things. Using widescreen resolutions may cause the edges of these videos to be visible. Running in 4:3 resolutions should address this.

Distorted Audio
Audio is garbled and distorted with DSP-HLE. Use DSP-LLE to rectify this.

zFreeze Emulation
The game requires zFreeze emulation, which was not supported. Refer. Fixed in.

Hang
The game halts at the first screen it displays: the producers, copyright, and licensing screen. This problem has been confirmed as present for the entire existence of Dolphin. It may be functional in Interpreter as of with "Enable MMU" on and the "MMU Speed Hack" disabled, but this is too slow for any computer to run in a playable form and has been reported not to work with. See, addressed by.
