This allows cached shaders to work across different video backends, platforms, hardware configurations and even Dolphin versions as long as changes aren't made to Dolphin's actual shader pipeline.
Since 5.0-6461, Dolphin caches shader pipeline UIDs independently of the video backend and compiles them on game start. Changing GPU, updating GPU drivers, or updating Dolphin may invalidate the shader cache, requiring specialized shaders to be compiled again. Since 5.0-4869, this problem can be solved by enabling ubershaders. For most games shader generation takes only a few milliseconds, but for a few demanding titles, the shaders that they generate are so large that they can result in noticeable stuttering, in severe cases pauses of over a second may occur. Shaders have to be generated though, and since GC/Wii games are not designed to create shaders ahead of time as a PC game would, when a new effect appears Dolphin has to delay the CPU thread while the GPU thread performs the compilation a pause that does not exist on the consoles. Modern computers and mobile systems do not work in this way, requiring the use of shaders as an intermediary so your system's GPU can perform the tasks that the GC and Wii GPU performed directly. The GC and Wii have no concept of shaders - everything is executed directly by the hardware without an intermediate programming language (API). Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader is one of the most susceptible titles to shader compilation stuttering. 2.2 Hang on Pause or Targeting ComputerĮmulation Information Shader Compilation Stuttering.Rogue Leader also has a large collection of hidden items throughout the game, from powerups, hidden ships, and hidden levels.īecause of its technical prowess, use of rare GameCube features, and plethora of hacks, Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader has proven difficult for Dolphin to emulate. Getting more medals results in unlocking more levels and spacecraft. The players performance on each level is compared to three medals (bronze, silver, and gold), based on completion time, enemies killed, etc. Each of the game's ten levels introduces mission objectives such as search and destroy or protection that must be completed to progress to the next level. Similar to its predecessor, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Rogue Leader is a fast-paced, flight action game. The game was praised for its amazing visuals, thanks to an impressive game engine that uses advanced GameCube features. The second of three games in the Rogue Squadron series, it was published by LucasArts and released as a launch title for the Nintendo GameCube. Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader is an arcade-style flight action game co-developed by Factor 5 and LucasArts. Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
