007: Nightfire is a first-person shooter video game featuring the British secret agent James Bond. It's a sequel to 007: Agent Under Fire.

Emulation Information

16:9

007: Nightfire has a native 16:9 display option, but it requires enabling it in its internal options and setting Dolphin's Aspect Ratio graphics setting to "Auto". Using the widescreen hack with this title is not recommended.

Problems

VP6 Videos

007: Nightfire uses the VP6 video codec, common in Electronic Arts' titles, causing its videos to have vertical line artifacts and other glitches on many graphics cards. The Software Render will display VP6 video correctly, but is typically too slow. VP6 rendering also reacts poorly to the Force Texture Filtering enhancements (and Anisotropic Filtering on NVIDIA), causing further scrambling. See issue 7193. In 5.0-15515 or newer, this can be fixed with "Manual Texture Sampling" in the Graphics Settings -> Advanced menu.

Testing

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
3.0-418	Windows 7	Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5750	Game playable ~55FPS	RootKernel
3.0-772	Windows 8	Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.2 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+	MP playable at ~60FPS, 100% speed. SP lagging when characters are in view. When the code cache clears it seems to fix itself and you get back at 60FPS, 100% speed.	Omar007
3.0-840	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.7 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580	Game playable at full speed both with HLE and LLE Sound Emulation in Single Player and Multiplayer modes. Few slowdowns are not noticeable if not monitoring speed % in OSD. Black and white garbage is shown instead of the correct videos in several missions. Only noticeable slowdowns I've experienced took place in missions involving vehicles (such as "Paris Prelude" while sniping in the helicopter). These slowdowns become considerably worse in LLE Sound Emu.	FrankJaeger
4.0-1364	Windows 8	Intel Core i7-4770K @ 4.5 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 SLI	Game fully playable with HLE and LLE Sound Emulation in Single Player and Multiplayer modes. Playable with 60FPS and 100% rendered. BUT ALL MOVIES ARE NOT VIEWABLE (BUG). No other bug or crash found.	Xelion
4.0-5738	Windows 8	Intel Core i3-4150K @ 3.5 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660	60FPS on all missions except for the car missions, where it will go down to ~40FPS.	thebros35
5.0-3648	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-7700K	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti	Would be perfect if not for a few cutscenes still being broken graphically.	IceStrike256
