== Problems ==
== Problems ==
=== Distorted Music ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
Music is garbled and distorted with DSP-HLE. Use DSP-LLE to rectify this, or disable music in the game's options as a workaround.
=== GPU Texture Decode Crash ===
 
Leaving GPU Texture Decode enabled will cause Rouge Squadron II to crash on a fairly regular basis.  
=== Incorrect Targeting Computer Colors ===
As of {{revision|4.0-5205}}, the targeting computer no longer requires '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' disabled to function. However, with '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' the colors will be washed out. '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' disabled has proper emulation with full color, but the targeting computer runs at 1x native regardless of the internal resolution used in the rest of the game. There is currently no solution that has higher IRs with proper colors. Disable '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' for the most accurate emulation.  


=== Hang on Pause or Targeting Computer ===
=== Hang on Pause or Targeting Computer ===
Using the targeting computer or pressing Start to bring up the menu can occasionally both result in a hang. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-4889}}, but broken again by {{revision|4.0-5971}}. This hang can apparently be avoided by disabling dual core, and taking a big performance hit. See {{issue|8493}} for details.
Using the targeting computer or pressing Start to bring up the menu can occasionally both result in a hang. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-4889}}, but broken again by {{revision|4.0-5971}}. This hang cannot be avoided by disabling dual core, contrary to what is stated in the official ticket: {{issue|8493}}.


=== {{s}}Black Effects{{/s}} ===
=== <s>Distorted Music</s> ===
With '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''', numerous EFB effects are inky black instead of smoothly transparent. Missiles, cloaking fields, and heat effects are just a few of the many effects that are broken. Disable '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' to emulate these effects properly.
Music is garbled and distorted with DSP-HLE. Use DSP-LLE to rectify this, or disable music in the game's options as a workaround. Refer {{issue|7228}}.


=== {{s}}Incorrect Scaling in Introductory Scenes{{/s}} ===
Fixed in {{revision|5.0-3260}}.
The mission introductory scenes scale the image to narrower than 2:1 aspect ratio for a cinematic effect, with black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. This effect is not emulated in Dolphin, resulting in a weirdly tall image during the intros. See {{issue|7948}} for details. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-7138}}
{{image|RogueLeaderScaling1.jpg|Planets make the missing scaling effect very obvious}}
{{image|RogueLeaderScaling2.jpg|The same scene on console|br}}


=== {{s}}zfreeze{{/s}} ===
}}}}
Rogue Squadron uses zfreeze for the skydome. Lack of support for this feature makes the skydome appear over nearly everything, and gives the impression of an extremely short draw distance. See {{issue|4113}} and {{issue|3334}}. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-5279}}.
{{image|SWRS2-drawdistance.jpg|The skydome obstructs even close objects|br}}


=== {{s}}Flickering Menu{{/s}} ===
== Enhancements ==
The main menus suffers from flickering issues in D3D. Enter/exit fullscreen or resize the window to fix the flickering. Since the GLSL merge in {{revision|3.5-1025}}, OpenGL does not have this issue. Fixed by proper D3D depth emulation in {{revision|4.0-3748}} and the epsilon fixes in {{revision|4.0-4480}}.
=== HD Texture Pack ===
There is a high definition texture pack for Rogue Leader on the Dolphin forums.[https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-hd-texture-star-wars-rogue-leader-rebel-strike-jedi-knight-15th-feb-2016].


=== {{s}}Hangs During Boot{{/s}} ===
=== Widescreen Gecko Code ===
Starting with the merger of the New PPCAnalyst Class branch in {{revision|4.0-1503}}, the game no longer boots in JIT or JITIL. It can only boot in Interpreter, which is obscenely slow on even the most powerful computers. See {{issue|7251}}. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-1636}}.
The Widescreen Hack has clipping and scaling issues that can be partially fixed with a Gecko Code, though corners of the map are still missing and crashes may occur with this code.


=== {{s}}No Menu Videos{{/s}} ===
==== NTSC-U ====
The background videos in the main menus do not always appear in D3D9, appearing then disappearing as you go through the menus. Use D3D11 or OpenGL and they will appear normally. Fixed by the removal of D3D9 in {{revision|4.0-155}}.
