== 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.
 
=== When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
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.

=== Missing Transitions ===
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.
Some transition effects and most paper flip animations won't work properly. Disable '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' to prevent that.

=== Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards ===
== Problems ==
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.
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
 
=== Problems When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
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.


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}}.

== Problems ==
== Enhancements ==
=== Wii Remote Volume ===
=== HD Texture Pack ===
A weird thing happens when turning down the speaker volume by the use of the HOME Menu in relation to Tippi/Tiptron's pointing ability. When the volume is at 0, the volume of Tippi/Tiptron's pointing sound effects are amplified instead of muted. When the volume is maxed out, the audio is barely audible. See {{issue|9061}}.
There is a work-in-progress HD texture pack for Super Paper Mario on the Dolphin forums.[https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-super-paper-mario-hires-texture-pack]
