::I guess I'll start with reasons for keeping it. As silly as it was, the performance guide was one of our most trafficked guides. Users have a tendency to not believe that default settings are correct, and they don't think to look at the emulator tooltips for that information, they google. They would check our guides page (or google it and find us) and get it, and we served them that information. Now that we don't have a performance guide, they'll google one and get god knows what giving them HORRIBLE advice! As bad as it was, and as annoying as it was, it served a purpose. I think it should be restored, and fixed up for the 5.0 release. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 10:54, 5 February 2016 (CET)

== Inclusion of deletterbox codes, film grain removal codes and blur removal codes ==


Hi, I would like to ask you for your opinion on the inclusion of deletterbox codes, film grain removal codes and blur removal codes. I believe players should be able to tweak the graphical settings of their games as they wish, and believe Dolphin Wiki would be a great place to list such codes because they can be difficult to find elsewhere, and they are purely optional. The discussion for this is [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Talk:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess_%28GC%29 here].

Invisible UI

I've just noticed you added the invisible UI problem in Tom and Jerry in War of the Whiskers#Menu, that may be similar to Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut#Invisible HUD and Text Elements. It can be retrieved back to screen using Free Look hack. Can it be done in Tom and Jerry game as well? Lucario (talk) 23:58, 12 December 2015 (CET)

Performance Guide

I see you went ahead and purged the Performance Guide but I noticed we caused issues on the main website! The Performance Guide still is on the list of Guides and now point to a deleted page and there's probably other places where this guide was linked too and they're broken as well... - Jhonn (talk) 18:06, 30 January 2016 (CET)

I thought the general sentiment was that the former guide was too outdated to align well for the 5.0 release anyway. We can re-add some statement, which I believe generally is that out of the box settings are best for performance. Some general configuration guide would still be good to have, but I haven't seen a lot of commitment to create/maintain such. Kolano (talk) 04:06, 31 January 2016 (CET)
