The GC and Wii have no concept of shaders - everything is executed directly by the hardware without an intermediate programming language (API). 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.
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. 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. Since, this problem can be solved by enabling. Changing GPU, updating GPU drivers, or updating Dolphin may invalidate the shader cache, requiring specialized shaders to be compiled again. Problems Clothes Textures Missing With EFB Copies to Texture Only, parts of the body and clothing will be missing, some will be rendered as complete black, and a few pieces will be properly textured. This is related to the game's texture color changing effect, and is only present on the main party characters.
Disable EFB Copies to Texture Only to fix this. EFB Copies to Texture Only is disabled by the GameINI, however it may still appear if the graphics configuration window is opened during play, or if the user manually overrides it while looking for a speed up. NOTE: You can re-enable EFB Copies to Texture Only once the game is running. Keep in mind that with EFB Copies to Texture Only disabled, every time a new model is introduced, such as meeting a new character, going through a loading screen, equipping a new armor, etc, it will not load. Switch to RAM before a new model is loaded to prevent it. A hotkey can be set to toggle EFB Copies to Texture Only.
The hotkey can be assigned in Options Hotkey Settings. DoF Blur The games' depth of field effect is not emulated properly. The DoF effect is meant to change constantly throughout gameplay, yet instead it is always stuck in one position or another throughout play. Usually it isn't in the way, and presents itself as having no DoF effect at all, and other times it will blur the characters and foreground elements beyond recognition. This is especially problematic during cutscenes, where the DoF effect is changed rapidly. If it becomes stuck in gameplay, you can create then use a savestate (Shift+F1 then F1) to get rid of it.

As of , the depth of field blur is remarkably better. Generally it will not become stuck and the depth of field effect's transitions are properly emulated. However, during some blur transitions it may flicker, and in some extreme circumstances (such as cinema scenes) it may become distorted and stuck. Unlike previously however, it can fix itself and the DoF becoming stuck is very rare. Texture Cache Accuracy can be set fast with modern graphics card,current versions of Dolphin, and the most recent version of Last Story.

Compatibility can be assumed to align with the indicated revisions. However, compatibility may extend to prior revisions or compatibility gaps may exist within ranges indicated as compatible due to limited testing. Please update as appropriate.

A long time ago there was a thread where a member mentioned swapping out the English audio files, replacing them the Japanese ones, compiling the ISO image with Wii Scrubber, and playing it on CFG USB Loader. I don't know what happened to that thread, nor do I remember where it was posted, but what is the legality of obtaining the Japanese audio files and replacing them on a legal copy of the game (I got the game yesterday)? I would think that it would be a very grey area, but, I could be wrong. Maybe I was on drugs and I imagined the whole thing, but this very user mentioned that The Last Story wouldn't run properly after swapping out the voice data files with the Japanese ones and recompiling the ISO image.
Is such a thing even possible or even legal to download (not the game, the audio files)?
