I haven't tried Dolphin VR yet but I can't recall ever getting black artifacts in F-Zero GX using Dolphin normally.

Thanks, tried the texture pack but too much stuttering for my liking. Otherwise its constant 30fps =(
I wasnt getting any artifacts in vanilla dolphin, but it could be due to having to use OpebGL of Oculus rift and vanilla Dolphin i use Direct3d?
Has anyone else managed to get F-Zero with OR running smoothly?
Maybe try running the game in normal Dolphin using OpenGL and see if you get the same issue?

There are plenty of USB sensor bars out there.
FYI there's a Dreamcast emulation thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=497358
Not really sure what this has to do with Dolphin.
Question: Just recently upgraded my PC from
Core2Duo E8500
ATI HD 4850 1GB
to
Core i7 4790K
NVIDIA GTX770 4GB
A while ago I THINK I've heard that OpenGL is actually faster than DX11 if using an NVIDIA card, but when I google this I can't find anything to support this statement, a dev reprt where the Dolphin guys mention NVIDIA havin far and away the best OGL drivers is the closest I come. Sooo....is this actually (Still?) true?

It was that way for a couple of weeks, then changes arrived and that's not the case anymore.

Is there anyway to limit the speed? I'm trying ton play Luigi's Mansion and it keeps jumping up to 140% and down to 74%, is there anything I can do? I'm terrible with computers and these types of things, so I don't see anything.
Are they on par now or is DirectX 11 faster?

Hmm just a wild guess, do you use the Dolphin Widescreen Hack?
I get the same black boxes when I use it even in the normal build.If you hit the "Config" button (that has a bunch of horizontal sliders as the icon), the General tab should have a Framelimit option. Auto usually works best I think.

The game supports widescreen natively ,actually.Hmm just a wild guess, do you use the Dolphin Widescreen Hack?
You just have to set it from the in-game options.
So, I've always avoided the development builds choosing to just stick to the big release versions. However I just downloaded the latest development build (there's like... 20 of these things a day?!) and HOLY CRAP. My framerate has jumped up and I no longer have garbage audio.
Hmm just a wild guess, do you use the Dolphin Widescreen Hack?
Yeah i do, ill try altering that.
On a side note how do you select between DX10 or 11, the only device options i have are OpenGL, Direct3D and Software??

Oh yeah I figured that out by now but thanks for confirming it.
Alright it should help!

Wow, I just tried the latest development version (4.0-3214) and DKCR finally works flawlessly on my FX-8350. Btw, I noticed some games working on 120-150 fps even if frame limit is on, turns out I had "VBeam Speed Hack" checked on those games from earlier versions so that fixed it (right click on game, properties).
With bluetooth built in? Mind linking to some, that would be great!
Why do you need Bluetooth built in?
Since I don't have bluetooth built into my motherboard and I've never had luck with the various dongles. The Dolphinbar built-in bluetooth was reported to just work and that the stack was written specifically with the wiimote connection in mind in the reviews I've seen.
Can you provide some specific examples?
Here's an example from One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. It happens only when the character is overlapped over the water, no matter how far away. You'll notice that part of the model submerged in water (the legs) aren't ghosting.
I've had this effect occur in PCSX2 with games too.
Hmm, I'm not sure what's causing that. If it's still an issue in the latest development builds you might want to file a bug report as there don't appear to be any open issues for One Piece: Unlimited Adventure at the moment.
Try setting internal resolution to auto(multiple) or some other multiple rather than window size
Resolution was the first thing I tried, no go. I do have a hunch tho... I remember testing out Twilight Princess (Gamecube) with Dolphin's Widescreen hack (before I found out about the game specific hack code that turns on widescreen) and this same kind of ghosting of the models would occur over water. That reminded me that One Piece: Unlimited Adventure doesn't display fully in 16:9 aspect ratio. When you play it on an actual Wii it has small pillarboxing on the sides. My hunch is this change in aspect ratio, similar to Twilight Princess, is what's causing it.
Is there a setting that allows it to display in that original intended aspect ratio like on the Wii? I can take a screenshot of the game on the Wii with my capture card to show you what I mean.
Turn off Widescreen Hack and set Aspect Ratio to Auto.
That's what I've always had my settings as. Also I guess the aspect ratio isn't the cause as I just tested it on the sequel One Piece Unlimited Cruise which didn't have pillarboxing on the Wii, in fact the ghosting is incredibly bad to the point you have giant ghost versions of all models appearing in the water. Maybe it's an issue with this series engine? I should test some other games with water.
What graphics backend are you using? Apparently the Unlimited Cruise games have some different issues depending on whether you're using OpenGL or DirectX. It might be worth trying the game with a different backend than the one you normally use and see if the issue persists.

Don't a lot of games with water (not just old, emulated ones) have similar artifacts?
Yeah, no go there either. I even went through the agony of testing it in Software Renderer. Ultimately it really isn't too much of an issue I guess, the games are still perfectly playable. Was just wondering if there was a fix.
I think so. Similar stuff I have seen happening with water in TP for example. May be related to rough shader masks that are normally hidden by the smaller resolution or something like that.
been messing around with playing Metroid Prime at a higher FOV
If the rendering area was increased, it would be perfect. As it is, it only displays correctly in certain areas.
also, samus looks pixellated in the second image - thats because I took the image just after the memory card screen and it hadn't had time to refresh her model.

How do you do this?, might be perfect for playing triple screen with the widescreen hack
Use swiss to enable widescreen whilst having dolphin apply the widescreen hack on top
lol
Looks amazing on some games actually

Sorry, what is swiss?
I hate to keep using this thread as my personal troubleshooter, but maybe the kind GAFers can help me. I'm having issues running Skyward Sword at full speed at 1080p. Rather I use Windw Size, Multiple, or 3x Internal. It runs at a crawl, to get speed up I have to drop the resolution way down. Vsync and anti-aliasing is off. Tested with both 4.0.2 and a new developer build.
Windows 7
Intel i5-4430 3.0 GHz
GeForce GTX 645
EDIT: I am able to run it perfectly at 2x internal resolution, to make up for the lower resolution I turned antialiasing from Off to 4x and it looks very good and no difference in performance. I guess my computer just really doesn't like the game running at 1080p or 3x res for some odd reason.

I'm trying to use the 360 button swap, but I have no idea where to place it
"Copy the SX4#01 into your Dolphin\User\Load\Textures folder."
where is this user folder?

Run a stage and try to see how many framerate drops you get. Then afterward, run that same stage again, same characters, and see if you still get framerate drops the second time.
Also, as always, post specs bud.
I know, I should have, made the earlier post in hurry so I wasn't thinking
But it doesn't matter anymore, for some inexplicable reason the game runs perfectly now

Games run better as you play more of it because of how Dolphin builds and caches data.
The shader cache is my main annoyance with doing first playthroughs in Dolphin at the moment. I wonder if anyone would be willing to host a shader database for the stable releases (Shader cache gets rebuilt if the revision number of dolphin doesn't match to avoid conflicts, so this wouldn't work out for the dev builds) and if Dolphin could have some sort of opt-in Shader Cache sharing by users. I believe I read a thread regarding this suggestion on the Dolphin forums but no idea what came out of that.
EDIT: The discussion was about crowdsourcing the shader IDs apparently rather than the compiled shaders, which sounds like the better and more lightweight alternative.

Huh, really? That's actually pretty interesting
Now I just need someone to play the game with
