Twilight Princess screen offset and black areas bugs

[wint_zero]

Hello there, I searched the forum, but couldn't find a clear answer, so decided to start a topic.
What I wanted to ask is, if there was way to fix two annoying graphical bugs

First one that I never saw being discussed yet - a screen offset



I tested it on many revisions but the result is the same, the game screen is offset to the left-top corner

Second, are black areas during different sceens on dx9 plugin



As I've read this bug occuers only on 32 bit OS, but is there a way to fix it?

My specs: AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4200+, ATI Radeon HD 3850, 2 gb RAM

Thanks in advance

Have you tried to update your video drivers? HD2600 gives me problem time ago in nullDC with black poligons

I doubt it's a driver problem, just tried this on my laptop(AMD and ATI too though) the problems are the same, guess it's a videocard issue

The off-center issue has been reported on the Dolphin Google page and the blackness error has also been reported. The blackness is a DX9 bug in the plugin and there is nothing you can do about it.

so... no way to fix it?

Nope, no way to fix it. No one is working on the DX9 plugin at all. Everyone seems to love Nvidia and OGL.

Srsly? I always thought dx9 presented better quality, WW for example, guess it was only for ATI-users. Well, anyway, thanks for answers, cleared a picture for me

OGL = OpenGL = multi platform = works on both unix as windows
therefor its a smarter move to work on OGL
downside is indeed ati users ;_;

ati users are always at downside %)
although seeing all the progress I think(hope %)) someone will work on dx plugin too

The best solution is to find a good coder somewhere with an ATI card to fix the GL plugin

ATI does not use enough OGL extensions for it to ever work right. DX9 is the only answer for ATI.

but wouldn't directx be a more powerful solution than opengl?

i guess when it comes to emu video compatibility is more important that video power

[Karmeck]

Not for Nvidia users.

[-Shockwave-]

I guess that is that and ATI users are screwed unless some ghost is going to fly into these forums and code a better DX9 plugin. Time to buy a second video card with Nvidia in the name.

Well, I appreciate your advice, but, buying a new videocard just to run only developing emu seems to me as not the best idea in the world, I can as well just buy myself a new Gamecube, what I'm offcourse certainly not going to do

Don't blame Nvidia for making smarter moves than ATI.

OpenGL is Very powerfull API and multi platform, Nvidia understood it years ago when ATI didn't.

That's why Apple provide Nvidia cards for their most powerfull products and GNU/Linux users (like me) enjoy playing great games like Quake 4, UT, most "Windows only" (what a joke) games via Wine and great emulators like Dolphin, muppen64, pcsx2 or ePsxe

Stop thinking windows is the only OS on this earth, *NIX users are here and rocks

As a great sage said : "Thnink Linux, Think Nvidia, Think maximum interpolability"

Work like WIndows ? this will be for sure a very BAD point for linux

If you wanna test linux, install it on a separated HDD (no danger/bad move for you windows hdd) and if you want an easy to install/use dist, try Ubuntu.

Based on my favorite dist, Debian, it's very user-friendly and you don't need to know how linux work to use it.

The only possible difficulty could be wifi card (less and less true with time).

You can even test linux without install it since most dist provide LiveCD/DVD now : first you try it, if you like it you click on the "install" icon and here you go. Of cource live Session have poor speed but you can have an overview
