'''''Ōkami'''''​ is an action-adventure video game developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom.  It was released for Sony's PlayStation 2 video game console in 2006 in Japan and North America, and 2007 in Europe and Australia. Despite the closure of Clover Studio a few months after the game's initial release, a version for Nintendo's [[Wii]] console was developed and produced by Ready at Dawn and Capcom, which was released in North America in April 2008, in Europe in June 2008, and in Japan in October 2009.
'''''Ōkami'''''​ is an action-adventure video game. Set sometime in classical Japanese history, Ōkami combines several Japanese myths, legends and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles.

Although it suffered from poor sales, Ōkami earned high acclaim from reviewers and earned, among other awards, the title of IGN's 2006 Game of the Year. The Wii version has earned similar praise though the motion control scheme has received mixed reviews from both critics and gamers. A sequel ''Ōkamiden: Chiisaki Taiyō'' has been announced by Capcom for release in 2010 on the Nintendo DS.

[[File:Okami-Menus.jpg|thumb|left|400px|]]
<div style="clear:both"></div>
 
===Frame Buffer Effect===
Referring to {{issue|4317}}, the game uses some sort of frame buffer effect that looks quite bad on high resolutions, creating pixelated ghosting and an annoying blurred look. Setting EFB Copy to RAM shows this effect accurately.
 
[[File:Okami-EFBtoRam.jpg|thumb|left|400px|EFB Copies to RAM, showing the effect on 1080p resolution]]
<div style="clear:both"></div>
 
EFB Copies to Texture is inaccurate, freezing the effect and leaving a ghost image of the frame when effect was disabled on. However, the character can still move underneath the ghosting, and it gives a glimpse of what the game could look like without the effect. It is considerably clearer and nicer, akin to what it should look like on the higher resolution. By switching from "EFB Copies to RAM" to "EFB Copies to Texture" with careful timing and camera work, it is possible to create a partial work-around for the ghosting, as outlined in [http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/showthread.php?tid=1045&pid=128950#pid128950 this forum post]. This is the best that is possible at present, however it requires effort and isn't permanent.

===Celestial Brush Freeze===
=== <s>Anti-aliasing Limited Brush Range</s> ===
Early in the game, the game requires you to use the rejuvination brush skill to continue with the game, performed by holding B and then pressing A on areas to be rejuvinated. However, using this skill will cause Ōkami to freeze. Fortunately, after you first press A+B to start the rejuvenation process, if you continue to hold B for 10-30 seconds (depending on your CPU), it will eventually unfreeze, and allow you to use the brush as normal. While it is tedious, by repeating this you can paint the river and proceed with the game. Some builds may crash at this location {{revision|7408}} and prevent you from advancing, and even older builds have been able to bypass it without the problem {{revision|4357}}.
When using anti-aliasing the relative input for the Wiimote to use the brush with a gamepad, the brush doesn't reach the full screen width. Refer {{Issue|8452}}. Fixed in {{Revision|5.0-7714}}.

Ōkami​ is an action-adventure video game. Set sometime in classical Japanese history, Ōkami combines several Japanese myths, legends and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles.

Problems

Celestial Brush Freeze

Using the Celestial Brush's rejuvenation skill will cause the game to appear frozen; audio and video will both be stuck. If you continue to hold B for 5-30 seconds (depending on your system), it will unfreeze and the brush will work as normal. Refer issue 8452. Fixed by 5.0-7714 and 5.0-9638.

Where the rejuvination skill is first used

Enhancements

Bloom Offset at Higher IR

When playing at higher internal resolutions, bloom effects will scale incorrectly, with multiple copies of the bloom spread out from the source, which can be very distracting.

A workaround is to disable Scaled EFB Copy, which will cause all EFB effects to be rendered at native resolution.

Since 5.0-16763, Graphics Mods can be used to make only bloom render at native resolution, or to disable it altogether.

Because it was often rendered at low resolutions, the bloom may appear shimmery when rendered at native resolution.

Okami blur

Anti-aliasing Limited Brush Range

When using anti-aliasing the relative input for the Wiimote to use the brush with a gamepad, the brush doesn't reach the full screen width. Refer issue 8452. Fixed in 5.0-7714.

Configuration

No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this title.
