This is how audio was fixed in Super Mario Sunshine, for instance.Īs of 4.0-5432 the vbeam speedhack was removed due to concerns that more 60 FPS patches would rely on broken behavior. Int period = CPU_CORE_CLOCK / (AudioInterface::GetAIDSampleRate() * 4 / 32 * fields) īy adding a multiplier of two at the end (before the semicolon), you'll break audio in almost everything except certain titles running with a 60 FPS patch. It was this line in SystemTimers.cpp that was modified:
#HACK RUN ZERO GAME OVER LEVEL FULL#
Hopefully with the potential power of these patches on full display, Dolphin will see more patches and better versions of the existing patches in the future!įor those looking for more information on the patches and how they were made, please checkout the following links.įor users wondering about the audio hack.
Do note that reverse engineering chops may be needed for some games more than others. Anyone can experiment, dig around and try things as long as they have the game. Think about all of the seminal titles with huge, sprawling worlds that could be made more beautiful with an even better framerate. With these four games brought up to 60 FPS, it can only make people wonder if other titles could be brought to 60 FPS in a similar way. This is mostly done by using the settings for their slow motion modes, and unfortunately can't be done in other games. Melee and Brawl to make them run at pretty much any framerate without problems, including 30 FPS, 120 FPS and beyond. Simply enable the vbeam speedhack and tell Dolphin's audio output to make it run at 60 FPS without side effects! There are also a variety of hacks/patches that have existed for Super Smash Bros. Pikmin 1 is even stranger it requires no game-side patch. Considering that it was a 15 - 20FPS game on console, the difference here is even greater than the other hacks. This makes the game very difficult to run at 60 FPS on all but the most powerful computers. Gauntlet Dark Legacy requires setting the framelimit to 120 and setting the CPU Clock Override value to 300 - 400% (!) in order to maintain 60 FPS at all times, and even then some animations are a tiny bit strange due to running at 30 FPS with no interpolation. Pikmin 2 is completely playable with just the patch, but some cutscenes seem to play at double speed. On another note, ehw also came up with more hacks for Pikmin 2 and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Super Mario Sunshine is an absolute joy to play at 60 FPS, and fans of the game should truly enjoy the work put forth. There is also a 120 FPS hack for those with high framerate monitors and T.V.s, but it breaks things just like the smoother variant of the 60 FPS hack. For a more technical, the creator wrote an explanation on the inner workings of the process and final patch.ĭepending on the value of the patch, you can get a near perfect 60 FPS hack where the game is completable, or an even smoother variant that breaks certain stage portals. This is the key ingredient that makes it all work.

Super Mario Sunshine Higher FPS Patches ¶Ġx804167B8:dword:0x3F600000 - Slightly slower 60 FPS Patch, but runs perfectly.Ġx804167B8:dword:0x3F800000 - even smoother 60 FPS Patch, but breaks things.Ġx804167B8:dword:0x40000000 - 120 FPS hack for those with high framerate monitors.īy applying patch into Dolphin's INI and then enabling it, along with the steps above, Super Mario Sunshine will run at 60 FPS. Lastly, on some versions of the hack, the level select cheat is required to get into certain stages. Thirdly, Dolphin's audio timings are modified to run at half speed so the game also sounds normal at double speed.
This actually makes the gameplay run half speed at 30 FPS. It's possible that simply flipping Dolphin's framelimit to run at 120 FPS would be fine, but the emulator stretches audio at non-standard framerates, blocking this possiblity for now.
Firstly, the vbeam speedhack has to be turned on in order to modify the timings of the emulator. Super Mario Sunshine's current 60 FPS hack comprises of three (and an optional fourth) part. Watch in 1080p60 for the best experience!
