=== <s>Cut Scenes</s> ===
Since a TMEM emulation issue introduced in {{revision|5.0-4703}} videos are broken regardless of settings. They typically will only display a white or black screen while the audio for the clip plays normally. Refer {{issue|11164}}. This has been fixed by {{revision|5.0-15294}}.

=== Cut Scenes ===
=== HD Texture Pack ===
When the internal resolution is set to anything besides native, there is the potential for some pre-rendered cut-scenes to only display either a white or black screen while the audio for the clip continues to play normally.
The Gamecube version of the game has worse textures. This is remedied by the [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-metal-arms-mapping-project Metal Arms Mapping Project], which uses textures sourced from the Xbox version and directly from a developer.

If you are playing on an Nvidia graphics card and experiencing FPS spikes which seem to happen regardless of Dolphin settings, you may need to set your "Power Management Mode" in your Nvidia control panel to "Prefer Maximum Performance". Users have anecdotally reported their GPU's running at only a couple hundred MHz without this turned on.
You can find this option by:
Right clicking anywhere on your desktop -> Nvidia Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings -> Global Settings -> Power Management Mode -> Set to "Prefer Maximum Performance" -> Click Apply
