Problems

Inventory Issues

Sometimes when picking up an item or transferring items from inventory to a box, the item will disappear. This can be avoided by setting Texture Cache Accuracy slider to the first setting (safe). This is the default value since 5.0-14855.

Music Drops Out

Due to the removal of the ARAM-DMA hack on 5.0-560, the music will drop out in game areas that use two audio tracks (ambiance sound count as an audio track), refer to issue 9840. This issue has been patched since 5.0-13452.

Enhancements

Graphical Artifacts on Environment

Environments will exhibit square graphical artifacts around some objects if Texture Filtering is set to Force Linear. Keep this enhancement at Default to avoid the issue.

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r5092	Windows 7	Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505 @ 2.83 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT	Game seems to run very well, full speed most of the time with almost perfect graphics. To fix glitches in inventory menu, use Safe Texture Cache hack, but this will bring lines to the main game graphics and there will still be some graphical glitches with items' appearance. Sound works well, though there are some missing voices and music. Controls respond well. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (GC) on Dolphin Wii/GC Emulator 720p HD Full Speed	nosound98
3.5-644	Windows 8	Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 @ 2.83 GHz	AMD Radeon 5770	Almost perfect except for the slowdown in the beginning of the game.	fly16
4.0-4473	Windows 7	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 640	The graphics in this game broke sometime after 4.0-2575 which was the last version of the emulator I used before upgrading to the build that I'm reporting here. Neither backend works properly anymore at this time. Missing developer logos, and all pre rendered backgrounds that this game uses for graphics are mostly gone, especially in game. Most of the background in game is black in simple terms Avoid this build if you plan on playing this game as other games are having issues with it as well.	Yugix
4.0-4488	Windows 7	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 640	After that disaster known as 4.0-4473 the game runs with no visible problems two hours into it so far. Using all recommended settings except using LLE. HLE has no problems with music or sound so far. This game runs smoothly on my setup which is windowed 640x480, 2x native, OpenGL. Game runs fine in fullscreen as well beyond what I'm using.	Yugix
4.0-6112	Windows 7	AMD FX-8150 @ 3.5 GHz	AMD Sapphire 6950 HD	HLE has no problems with music or sound. This game runs smoothly with windowed or Full Screen, 4x native, OpenGL. Also, set the texture cache to Fast for a smoother intro to the game and shotgun room.	Sublimeice
5.0	Windows 10	Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT	The game runs perfectly with some adjustments. To achieve 30FPS had to use the Overclocked CPU option and set to 66%, yes it is a underclock. This way the game runs perfectly. D3D11, IR 2x. 30FPS all time (include beginning).	BrasileiroGamer
