Why does Antialias make games go black???

zizo47 · March 18th, 2009

On alot of games, especially the Wii games, if I set the Antialias to any higher than "off" the game only displays a black screen. So far its happened with DBZ BT3, Naruto GNT EX3, Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, Zelda TP (GC version).

In the case of Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, if I can somehow navigate through the menu and start a fight, then it'll work, even when i go back to the menu, but in all the other games its either constantly black or black and then a still screen of ingame.

Am I the only one with this problem and is there a way to fix this?

For the sake of mentioning, I'll say that there is some games where i've used Maximum Antialias and its worked beautifully.

If I knew why, I would fix it. I'll have to sit down and figure it out someday ...

It works in those games if you check 'xfb' as well, but that makes the game default to the normal resolution. And I've found that antialiasing while it makes the games look a lot better it also slows them down. So I've pretty much taken it off for good. Luckily it's been fixed in the latest revisions so turning it off let's you go in game as normal. Still it's a great move forwards by the dev team to finally have true AA in dolphin games.

hmmm... if the plugin renders to offscreen targets that might be a reason....

Make sure you're not forcing AA in your GPU control panel.
