I am playing it now and havent had this issue at all.
The native support for gamecube controller using the genuine nintendo gc adapter for smash bros makes this so good.
Wow, never mind. This is probably one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced. I totally didn't notice that scroll button even when directly comparing the window with the 4.0.2 one where I saw it immediately. I could actually swear it wasn't there before I installed 4.0.2 again but most likely I'd be wrong.
Crazy.
Well, thanks a lot for making me... decuple check.
According to the wiki, this is because of a setting that's enabled via the INI:
So you have a trade-off between the 1x resolution look from your shots or black screen videos, I guess.
I've been playing MP3 with Ishiiruka. Almost finished with Bryyo and it's been pretty much flawless so far with the async shader thing on. I haven't noticed any graphics corruption or anything. The only oddity is that at high internal resolution multipliers, the bloom effects multiply too. To combat that, I'm just playing at 2x native and everything looks and runs great. Feels good to play with DolphinBar too.

Well I finally found my original Japanese GC controllers and they were in perfect condition. So after buying the mayflash GC adaptor I'm now rocking native control for the Wii (with my Wiimote and mayflash bar) and the GameCube.
Overall its miles better than custom maps for dualshocks or keyboard and mouse. Well worth the investment.
And I'd forgotten just how good the GC controller design was. Perfect weight and balance and the sticks are almost perfect.

Oh, I see. Don't care about the plot (I played this so many times on the gamecube) so I'll just try that and see how it goes.
Edit: SO, how can I access the INI?
Add the game to your list so that it shows up on the main window, then right click -> properties and click the "edit config" button.
Alternately, go into your Dolphin folder and go into Sys\GameSettings and open GVJ.ini, that's Viewtiful Joe's INI.
I can vouch for this fix, as I had to do it for my playthrough. Specifically, edit config as Aeana said and try this line:
[Video_Settings]
UseRealXFB = False
I think it's false. If that doesn't work, try true.
EDIT:
It's good to see MP3 working well, as I think it was the Prime game with the most problems on Dolphin. I think it might be my least favorite of the three, though. Skytown is the only area that stood out, but actually navigating around it was a pain in the ass. Everything was strewn across tiny little rooms without much interconnectivity. Kind of like MP3 itself, I guess.
And I asked this earlier in the thread, but I'd like to ask again - does anybody have experience with the Toshiba Bluetooth stack on Windows 10? It's one of the few things keeping me from upgrading.
Thanks! Games looks sooo much better now. I can even make out the words on the chip Of course the 2D assets are still a problem. Should have complained earlier about this.
I like all 3 games a lot. I have my favorite but it's still one of the best trilogies in gaming as far as I'm concerned.

Does playing at a lower internal res actually help? The Dolphin Wiki entry for the problem doesn't mention it.

I'd assume it doesn't mention it because it's not really a solution, more of a compromise.
Yes, it helps. The distance between the offset is multiplied with every multiple of internal resolution. At 2x it's hardly noticeable. I got the idea from the bug ticket linked there, btw.
It's kinda unfortunate that Viewtiful Joe seems to be one of those games that don't really benefit a lot from Dolphin. A screenshot I took at 1080 maxed out AA and AF.

Not done yet, but she plans on doing all of the HUD and UI textures, then releasing that as a texture pack for VJ
That's really cool. As long as she doesn't stray from the original art direction, which is doesn't look like she will.

Interesting. I guess you add some AA do deal with the jaggies then. Usually 4x IR plus SMAA is good enough for me.
What issues do you have with PCSX2 and DS4Windows? I had PCSX2 set to use a 360 controller before I got my DS4, and with DS4Windows, it works just fine.
The left joystick is not functioning properly. It works but only one half of the axes. It doesn't respond at all in the other half.
I have this same problem.
Please help and give specific instructions to make the 360 pad do tilt. I downloaded a "profile" for Galaxy 2 and the right stick ia the pointer. It works surprisingly well.
But the tilt function leaves me screwed. What do I do? How do I set it back to normal after?
Oh and for everyone that has or had a shitload of problems with slowdown and sound cracking for this game, the following 2 adjustments made it almost nearly perfect now:
Switch to DSound (only for this game)
Enable time stretching (ishiiruuka)
Set aa and af to none and 1x
Internal res at 2x, no higher
Damn a bit bummed I can not run Super Mario Galaxy with steady 60 fps.
i5-4690k oc'd to 4.4 MHz + MSI 980 Ti Gaming running on the latest Ishiiruka-build.
3x internal with no AA and 16x AF and still some minor slowdown.
Well almost anything else should run always on full speed but SMG was the game I was looking forward the most.
EDIT. My old 32" Sony to the rescue. It's HD ready so the game runs very nearly 60 fps all the time and it still looks much better than the original 480p Wii output.

I run Galaxy full speed on an A10-5800k 90% of the time. Try a different revision? When are you seeing slow down?

Try Borderless Fullscreen, Dolphin's double buffer Vsync might be the cause of your troubles.

definitely try a different build, i played it with a 3570k@4.4 and can play at 6x native, 2xaa no problems
Thanks guys.
Borderless fullscreen was even glitchier. I'm using Rivatuner to cap my FPS to 60 and run the V-sync from Nvidia panel. I also tried the newest build but it was stuttering mess + still slowdown.
I've set performance on high in power saving. And I ran Dolphin Benchmark in 4:31 which is a very good result.
A bit puzzling really but I see what I can do.
Also using MSI Afterburner my first core usage was max 80% and 2nd core usage was about 30%. GPU usage was also max 30%.
Also, anyone else using Wii U Pro Controller with Dolphin? Moving Mario with analog stick doesn't feel responsible enough. Mario is also moving without pressing anything. Added 20 deadzone and it seemed to help. But any tips how to make the control better? There is also the radius control. Should I change that?

Could you check what build you are using? And maybe give your settings. Would really appreciate it.
Have you tried switching between opengl and directx backends? I found that some lighting sourcessources in Mario Galaxy gave me some slowdowns with opengl and when I switched the problems disappeared.
I have different problem with DKCR. When using an external frame limiter it doesn't work. I've tried rivatuner and evga precisionx. However they work fine in SMG.
So apparently FPS is limited to 60 but VPS isn't. Is Dolphin's own frame limiter the only way to keep the VPS at max 60 or 50?

Have you tried not using Rivatuner and control panel Vsync? I know Rivatuner is generally good to use with regular games for frame-timing, but it might be conflicting with Dolphin.

did windows 10 break dolphin for anyone else? i cant pair with my wiimote anymore, when i click "refresh" the app hard locks. I've tried tons of different versions, including ishiiruka and they all seem to have it
Many revisions started doing this for me before W10 released. I either stuck to ones I knew worked or tried new ones as they were pushed and stayed with the latest that didn't always crash. Many also crash when exiting a game from full screen, but not if I go windowed and choose close game from the file menu.
I'd guess it's been happening for two or three months.
Dolphin itself runs fine, but my Wii remote constantly acts up or disconnects now. I'm not sure if the issue is with Dolphin or the stack... I can easily reconnect with alt+f5, so the stack doesn't seem to be losing the connection. It could also be something Windows 10 itself is fucking up.

my connection between the wiimote and window 10 works fine, its just that dolphin can't find the wiimote and when i click refresh or continous scan it crashes
using a xbone controller works fine, it seems to just be the way that dolpin interacts with win 10 bluetooth devices. i found a few random forum/reddit posts of other saying the same thing
dolphin doesnt have an official win 10 version so im guessing that has something to do with it
Wau I tested latest 5.0-rc-17 dolphin version and Donkey Kong Country... run with 5K downsampling and 2x AA stable 60 FPS
I have been using Dolphin for ten years, and it still amazes me that we can do this.
Sometimes I try the latest version. With my old computer and older Dolphin version DK did not run bad but not so well. It is still a very good and very nice game.
Anyone here get steady 60 fps in Super Mario Galaxy. I mean so steady that it never dips under 60.
My i5-4690k oc'd to 4.5 Ghz gets really close. It's 60 fps most of the time but may drop to 59-58 fps which causes audio crackling. I even tried 4.7 Ghz but even that couldn't quite keep it steady.

Been fucking around with the Ishiiruka build, specifically the DOF feature in Metal Gear Sold: The Twin Snakes. Trying to get a focus point to enhance muh cinematic. Early results are pretty good, just wish I knew exactly what the sliders meant as I'm trial and erroring right now.
Here's a brief gif of what I managed to get working. General isometric player cam is in focus, with distance blurred. When up against a wall or aiming, focal point is centre of the camera, allowing for the DOF to shift and blur you if you're looking around a corner or something. Looks nice.

Oooouch... that is far too extreme. I hate obsessive DoF. I actually turn it completely off in most games. DoF needs to be subtle, sadly it usually seems to be either "OFF" or "DRUNK AS FUCK." I think about a quarter of the amount of blur you have in that gif would probably be perfect, but I realize this is my opinion and some people really like extreme DoF.

Yeah I agree, that's a little OTT, knocks the whole radar out too!
what's the best build to play TTS?
Havne't tried in years, last time I tried the audio was all choppy

It is too extreme, but it's that way to use as a point of reference to get the focal point right, which is really hard in Twin Snakes. Because a lot of interiors have ceiling features that pass by the camera, sometimes they come into focus and everything blurs. Also wanted to get the perspective blurring correctly based on what you look at, which seems pretty difficult. Mostly because I have no idea what I'm doing.
