[Wii] Sports - EFB copy disable -> speed boost

Daws · January 26th, 2009

Donno if anyone has already noticed this, but with Wii Sports, if you disable "EFB copy" ,undel OpenGL options, you'll get a great speeed bost form about 25-30 fps to 55-60, making it full speed.
The only drawback is the lost of some of the graphics and the special effects, like bloom etc..
Also leaving it enable, some time the fps suddenly went up, and slow down, in a way not related to the graphics show in game. I wonder if this is something that can be looked at..

"Disable EFB copy" is known to increase games' speed (but sometimes screws some graphics)

A reeeally old trick, screws up graphics badly most of the times, shamefully. You should check the forums more often.
