=== Reflections === | === Reflections === | ||
Reflective floors show the reflection offset from where they should be. Instead of being a mirror image beneath Fox's feet, the mirror image is well above his head. Additionally, there is bar along the bottom of the screen that doesn't get any reflections at all. This is not a problem with Dolphin; it occurs even on real GameCubes, but the reflections are so low resolution that it's difficult to notice. | Reflective floors show the reflection offset from where they should be.

{{Problems | === Shadows === | ||
In D3D (only on Windows 7 as of {{revision|5.0-5404}}), shadows may appear distorted or even be copied from other objects, such as Fox with an arwing shaped shadow while near the ship. Windows 7 does not support Direct3D 11.1's Windows Display Driver Model 1.2 preventing Dolphin's emulation of the related [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/10/02/dolphin-progress-report-september-2017/ LogicOps functionality] from working. Use OpenGL or Vulkan to avoid this issue. | |||

=== Missing Sounds === | |||
{{image| | After Fox says "Wake up! Wake up!", the sound effect of him taking out his staff is missing, as well as the explosion sound effect right after that. Refer {{Issue|11783}}. | ||
=== Flickering Silhouetted HUD === | |||
In Direct3D, the HUD will occasionally flicker silhouettes over it. This usually happens when trying to shoot at a monster with the Fire Blaster (in battle stance). | |||

=== Aspect Ratio Fix === | |||
Star Fox Adventures was designed with the expectation of square pixels, which the GameCube doesn't have, so the game looks slightly slimmer than its developers intended: 4:3 mode is actually 5:4 and 16:9 mode is actually 15:9. This code increases the game's viWidth from its original 660 up to 704, allowing it to completely fill the 4:3/16:9 area. | |||

Constant use of save states seemed to even had disabled my memory card for the game, so I had to use save states all the way through anyway. The overflow error seems to mostly happen in cutscenes or in front of fuel cells in clusters. There are some minor slow downs here and there, and like always with CPU intense games like this I had to have Skip EFB Access to CPU enabled. I also had issues with flickering shadows, but it's very minor and it could be due to my settings.|tester=Yugix}} | |||

Set '''EFB to Texture''' (checked). Gameplay is workable, with a few stutters to ~90-95% emulation speed. Chugs a bit more when there are many particles on the screen. Shadows flicker a lot in my setting which leaves much to be desired, YMMV. Cutscenes have polarizing results- some portions emulate at virtually perfect speed, while 30 seconds later it may drop to < 50% emulation speed. 2xSSAA produces similar results, but gameplay and cutscenes are a more consistent in regards to emulation speed. FIFO overflows occurs randomly during cutscenes; remember to save often.|tester=Lessigen}} | |||
