== Emulation Information ==
== Emulation Information ==
=== Requires Bounding Box ===
=== Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards ===
A large portion of this game requires bounding box emulation. Without bounding box emulation, there will be graphical errors, crashes, and other issues throughout the game. It is not recommended to ever disable bounding box emulation while playing this game.
NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during Bounding Box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11. They get dramatically slower as the internal resolution increase, even though comparable AMD graphics cards suffer no slowdown at all.  This is due to Dolphin hitting a slow path on those graphics cards. It is recommended that supported NVIDIA users use other video backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that.


{{Image|TTYD-DisabledBB.png|Disabled Bounding Box (Tube Mode)}}
=== When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
{{Image|TTYD-EnabledBB.png|Enabled Bounding Box (Tube Mode)|br}}
This game uses a feature known as "Bounding Box", which Dolphin typically uses Shader Storage Buffer Objects (SSBO) to emulate. This requires a NVIDIA GeForce 400 series or newer, a AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series or newer, or a Intel Broadwell Integrated GPU (Intel HD 5300+) or newer and an operating system that supports OpenGL 4.3, D3D11, GLES 3.1, or Vulkan. On macOS, MoltenVK can be used to attain Vulkan support on the latest builds. If Bounding Box is not emulated correctly, the game will show severe graphical glitches and won't be playable to finish.


=== Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards ===
{{Image|TTYD-DisabledBB.png|Broken Bounding Box}}
NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during bounding box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11. They get dramatically slower as the internal resolutions increase, even though comparable AMD graphics cards suffer no slowdown at all. This is due to Dolphin hitting a slow path on those graphics cards. It is recommended that supported NVIDIA users use D3D12 or OpenGL backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that.
{{Image|TTYD-EnabledBB.png|Working Bounding Box|br}}


== Problems ==
Because Dolphin has gone through many variants of Bounding Box support throughout its history, it may be possible for older graphics cards to use less accurate versions of Bounding Box present in older builds.  On Android, {{revision|5.0-9322}} or newer is required for Bounding Box to function at all due to an unrelated bug. Please note that other driver issues can often cause issues with Bounding Box emulation, which can produce similar bugs to having no Bounding Box support whatsoever. In this case, updating drivers or using a different video backend may be your only recourse.
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== Merluvee Next Path ===
Asking Merluvee to tell you the next path will freeze the game, currently there is no solution.


=== Glitched Transitions ===
=== Riverside Station Sunset Effect ===
Most transition effects will show only garbage. Disable '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' to prevent that.
The sunset effect in Riverside Station has a defect where non-static objects in front of it have a trail of ghosts coming off. This is not a bug in Dolphin, but a defect inherent to the way the effect is achieved, as it appears on console too. The defect is very hard to see on console (it's right above the rock in the image below) due to the low resolution and analog quality loss, but the higher internal resolution and custom HD textures allowed by Dolphin make it very obvious.


:Note: In some cases the game will actually crash if you have ''EFB Copies to Texture Only'' enabled.

{{image|Paper Mario TTYD - Cabin Transition EFB2RAM.gif|Proper emulation|br}}


=== <s>Problems When Using Older Graphics Cards</s> ===
== Problems ==
Bounding Box emulation requires GPU-specific features that are not present on older GPUs (older than 3rd quarter 2012). As such, graphics cards without Direct3D 11 or OpenGL 4.3 support are no longer supported. In essence, only computers with GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce 400 series and newer, AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series and newer, and Broadwell integrated GPUs (Intel HD Graphics 5300+) are supported by Dolphin for games requiring certain bounding box implementations. Additionally, OS X cannot be used, because no GPU drivers for OS X support the required features as of July 2016.
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== PAL60 Reverting to 50Hz ===
If the PAL version of the game has been set to run at 60 Hz, it may change back to 50Hz under some circumstances. Turn off the dual core setting to avoid this issue.


Using newer revisions with unsupported GPUs or drivers will lead to graphical glitches and softlocks. If game-breaking bugs are experienced, use revision {{revision|4.0-5124}} or lower as a workaround. For more information, refer to {{Issue|8405}}, {{Issue|8505}}, {{Issue|8270}}.
=== <s>Merluvee Next Path</s> ===
When using the D3D backend, asking Merluvee to tell you the next path may freeze the game. This does not occur on OpenGL or Vulkan, so use them to avoid this issue.


Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2964}} for the OpenGL backend.
Fixed in revision {{revision|5.0-9638}}.
