The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC): Difference between revisions

(Big update. I don't have the GCN version, so my hands are a little tied. But it really needed something done, and could use even more work. It had stuff from YEARS ago. And, can a GCN game even have bloom offset?)

===Sound issues===
To reduce the number of sound issues on older revisions:
#Visit [http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/showthread.php?tid=8385 DSP-HLE Plugin: Zelda TP Intro Music] on the forums
#download a patched version of the DSP-HLE plug-in
#backup the original Plugin_DSP_HLE.dll file
#replace it with the one downloaded


This will help, but audio issues still exist. Please note also that this method can't be used on newer revisions since the plug-in merge.
===Hyrule Field Slow Down===
<b style="color:red">Note:</b> The patched plug-in may break sound in many games that work with the original plug-in.
Over time in the game Hyrule Field may become progressively slower. To fix this use the "ZTP hack" or "ZTP speedup hack" (not the projection hack).  This can be found in the game properties by right clicking the game in the main dolphin window and clicking game properties.  Make sure this option is checked for this game and only this game. See {{issue|720}} and {{issue|2499}}.
 
=== Sound issues ===
Sound problems may occur with the DSP HLE audio plugin. To correct these problems, use [[DSP LLE]].


=== Bloom offset ===
=== Bloom offset ===
Sometimes the bloom coordinates are wrong causing a "ghost" image to appear around certain objects in areas with high amounts of bloom. There is no known solution for it at the moment. See {{issue|2068}}.

===Lighting===
=== Dark Characters ===
Sometimes, at a certain time of day (like the evening), characters appear to be completely black except for their eyes. The lighting issue persists in all areas of the game. For example, when opening a chest, Link's eyes can be clearly distinguished as lit separately. This appears to happen mostly on Mac OS X builds using nVidia cards.

===Goron Mines, Boss Door===
The chains of the lock stay together after unlocking -> the door won't open. See {{issue|5002}}. This can be resolved by briefly disabling dual core mode.
 
===<s>Top left quadrant of the screen is blurred</s>===
Use EFB scaled copy to fix this.


===<s>Discolored map with EFB to texture</s>===
<div style="float:left;">[[File:TP lighting glitch nvidia.png|thumb|250px|]]</div>
Use EFB to RAM to fix this.
<div style="clear:both;"></div>


===<s>No Sun Rays</s>===
=== <s>Goron Mines, Boss Door</s> ===
There are supposed to be lots of sun rays in the intro and at the springs (especially the one in Faron Woods and Kakariko Village). If fast mipmaps is checked the sun rays will not show up. Simply uncheck fast mipmaps to fix the issue. AF will also reduce the visibility of the sun rays (more samples = less visible) so this should be set to 1x.
The chains of the lock stay together after unlocking -> the door won't open. See {{issue|5002}}. This can be resolved by briefly disabling dual core mode. This problem is fixed.

The game will run fine on a nice (no bottlenecks) core i5 2500k build on DSP HLE, checked in dolphin options as well as in the game options (accessed by right clicking it), but as far as my experience goes, DSP LLE requires a bit OC on the turbo boost.
