Silent Hill: Shattered Memories marks Silent Hill's debut on the Nintendo Wii where the fear is more real than ever before. Players will be drawn into the mysterious town using the Wii Remote as a flashlight and a cell phone as they search for clues. Shattered Memories promises to be more terrifying than ever. The choices the players make will shape Harry Mason, as well as the people he meets and the places he visits. The enemies evolve as well, taking the form of the player's deepest fears.

Emulation Information

Phone Audio

Phone audio is played through the Wii remote, to hear the audio in Wii Remote either use Bluetooth passthrough. To hear sound on PC, you need after the loading of the game, change the audio output to the TV using the game settings.

Problems

Snow Particles Glitch

The snow particles don't work correctly. They sometimes appear for a second and then disappear again or flicker for a while. This can be corrected by disabling "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only". Refer issue 10054.

Flicker

There is a faint white "flicker" at the top and bottom of the screen. This can be corrected by disabling "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only".

Enhancements

Lighting Issues at >1x IR

When using higher resolutions, severe lighting issues may happen, especially near the tip of the flashlight. This can be repaired by disabling "Scaled EFB Copies", which may result in some effects being lower resolution, or by enabling the "Vertex Rounding Hack" in 5.0-3251 or newer. Fixed in 5.0-7714.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r7670	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.1 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6850	Works totally fine for the most part. Flashlight still makes corrupted graphics anywhere it shines.	MegaJump
3.5-382	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580	Works ok, full speed. Flashlight shows blacklines, making it quite hard to play. Used OpenGL to get around the questionnaire crash.	sofiBeatriz
4.0-6585	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	OpenGL; Flashlight black lines appear to be fixed on 4x native res, no AA and 16x AF; 1x AF gave me multiple flashlights spots. Still a lot of parts where the FPS would slow down significantly where it was 60FPS just moments ago; This was tested with both 1x and 4x native resolution. Textures in parts of the map and characters rendered incorrectly resulting in either flickering or black lines.	XzisT
4.0-7723	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	OpenGL; Flashlight black lines appear to be fixed on 4x native res, no AA and 16x AF; 1x AF gave me multiple flashlights spots. Minor framerate dips indoors but extremely low (3-10FPS) during outdoor scenarios on any resolution. Textures in parts of the map and characters rendered incorrectly resulting in either flickering or black lines.	XzisT
5.0-3185	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-4790K	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	For the most part glitches when using the flashlight are gone, though there are some light flickers and strange borders here and there. Some effects like falling snow appear only if "store EFB to texture only" is disabled. Works in full speed.	unruval
