Graphics Mods are an exciting new feature that allows users to modify games through a method of defining targets and then applying actions to those targets. Currently, Dolphin supports three actions: Skip, Move, and Scale. These are modifications to the target groups. In addition to this, Dolphin has some built-in Graphics Mods that apply to certain target groups. These include "Native Bloom" - scaling the "Bloom" target group down to the correct resolution, "No Bloom" - skipping any texture labeled in the "Bloom" target group, and "No HUD" - skipping any textures under the target group of "HUD". You can define these or your own Target Groups in any game through using Dolphin's Texture Dumping tool or EFB dumping tools. | Graphics Mods are an exciting new feature that allows users to modify games through a method of defining targets and then applying actions to those targets.

==== Loading a Graphics Mod ==== | |||
Graphics Mods are loaded similarly to Texture Packs and Riivolution mods. Graphics Mods are loaded from a user's "Load" directory. On Windows, this directory will be located in "My Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Load/Graphics Mods" by default. A graphics mod will then be located in a subfolder, for instance "My Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Load/Graphics Mods/Wind Waker" could be the folder where you place a Wind Waker oriented Graphics Mod. In order to make the Graphics mod valid, two files will be located in that folder: a blank txt file with the target GameIDs (GZL.txt for Wind Waker), and a file named metadata.json containing the actual Graphics Mod script. If your script applies to multiple games, you can include multiple GameID files or an "all.txt" to make your Graphics Mod apply to any title that has compatible target groups defined. | |||
