Geist
Geist is a video game for the Nintendo GameCube video game console. A prototype of the game was developed by n-Space, who approached Nintendo to be the game's publisher. Nintendo accepted, making Geist the second GameCube game published by Nintendo to receive an M-rating (the first being Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem). In the following years, Nintendo and n-Space worked closely on Geist. The game was first shown at the E3 2003 and was announced to be part of the GameCube's line-up for 2003. However, it was delayed for two years for fine-tuning. During that time, the game's genre changed from first-person shooter to first-person action-adventure.

The Geist franchise is currently owned by Nintendo, due to their contract with n-Space. At the moment, there are no plans for a sequel. However, n-Space has announced they are working on a game for the Wii.

Test Entries | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
r7283 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3-2310M @ 2.1GHz | Intel HD Graphics | Game boots but runs extremely slowly - 6 frame every few seconds. | Honguito98 |
3.0-204 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6990 | Game boots but runs extremely slowly - 1 frame every few seconds. | |
3.0-693 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6970 | Game seems to run great. Tested until end of first cutscene. OpenGL only works in windowed mode. Fullscreen mode crashes on start. Make sure to enable the MMU Speed Hack. Config: DX11, 2xNative, AA:4x, AF:16x, Per-pixel lightning enabled, OpenMP Texture Decoder enabled. | |
3.0-766 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6970 | Game is broken again. Runs very slow. OpenGL seems to be working in Fullscreen mode again though. | |
4.0-3234 | Windows 7 | Intel Core Quad @ 3.2GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti | Game is unstable with HLE audio. (Random opcode freezes, and crashes after loading save states.) With LLE seems to run reasonably well. May benefit from disabling dual core mode if CPU is fast enough. | |
4.0-5422 | Windows 8.1 | Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 | Completed more than half the game in like 4 hours non-stop play. Only ran into one rare issue. The rooms don't load at all at after a few rooms but resolved it with restarting the level and the issue didn't happen again so I think it was due to my pc locking up during load with is normal of my pc so I think it not Dolphin that did it. Little slowdowns in some areas but not really noticeable. 80 to 100% speed. | Drshaw |
4.0-9050 | Windows 10 | AMD FX-8370 @ 4.25 GHz (+0.25GHz OC) | MSI (AMD) r9 390 | Horribly Broken with HLE, OPCode errors when drawing weapon for the first time, leading to Dolphin crashing. |
