> More surprisingly, the originally intended effect is never shown on console either! Players have instead been seeing a different kind of blur effect created by this undefined behavior. In all likelihood, this bug went unnoticed by developers because the effect they achieved looked pretty good and they simply didn't realize that anything was wrong. While implementing the undefined behavior in Dolphin, pokechu22 also fixed Nintendo's bug so that we could see what could have been.
Nah, it looks wrong with the original "bug" fixed—it's supposed to look like a painting! The developers may or may not have known what happened, but I bet if not for the quirk they would have gone with something else entirely.
- tinus_hn 5y agoI don’t really understand how they consider an effect to be ‘undefined’; did Nintendo ever release documentation for this hardware?
- bombcar 5y agoThere is (was) extensive developer documentation. I don’t know if it’s ever been made openly public.
- sli 5y agoAnd it's fraught with problems if the Dolphin team were to use any of the information from those Nintendo links that they can't prove they determined/discovered/developed independently. Most emulator developers are avoiding those even if there might be useful documentation in there. These blogposts are informative as hell but they also do the job of covering their asses by showing their original work.
