Enhancements
Mipmap Effects
Like many official Nintendo games on GameCube and Wii, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker uses mipmap levels to control some effects. As an enhancement, Dolphin uses higher mipmap levels further away as internal resolution increases to make textures look sharper. This breaks effects that rely on accurate mipmap levels. While support for detecting these cases was added in 5.0-5745 it requires the CPU texture decoders. As such, mixing high resolution output with GPU Texture Decoding will cause the wrong mipmap levels even after the fixes were added.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
