GameCube Information
GameCube console, was developed under the codename Dolphin, belongs to the 128-bit era or sixth generation of video games consoles (with the Dreamcast, PlayStation, Playstation 2 and Xbox). It was presented to the public together with the GameBoy Advance and several games on Nintendo’s Space World 2000 exhibition, held from August 23 to 27 in Japan. The reviews were very positive. A GameCube was released in Japan on September 14, 2001, in the United States on November 18, in Europe 3rd of May 2002 and 17th of May in Australia. Nintendo GameCube, also known as GC, was the most compact and the cheapest among the consoles of its generation. At the time of its launch in the US players could buy one of the 12 games: All-Star Baseball 2002, Batman Vengeance, Crazy Taxi, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2, Disney’s Tarzan Untamed, Luigi’s Mansion, Madden NFL 2002, NHL Hitz 20-02, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, Super Monkey Ball, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 & Wave Race: Blue Storm.
By its form the console really resembles a cube. The system uses a unique optical discs, a proprietary format developed by Matsushita (Panasonic). Disc size of 3” (8cm) – is less than a regular CD or DVD, the capacity reaches up to 1.5 GB. Some games had to be released on two discs, as they couldn’t fit the allotted space. GameCube system has the ability to connect to the portable Game Boy Advance system. This feature allows the system to exchange game data, open additional levels in similar games like Metroid Prime – Metroid Fusion on one or another system, finishing mini-games in GBA.

Super Paper Mario is a RPG-styled platformer developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The gameplay is similar to the classic Super Mario games, but with the aesthetic qualities of the Paper Mario series, RPG-like elements like character dialogue and puzzles, and a blend of 2D and 3D platforming. The player starts out with only Mario, but unlocks Princess Peach, Luigi, and even Bowser through the game, and can change between them at any time.
The game was originally planned for the Nintendo GameCube in 2006, but Nintendo changed it to a Wii release due to declining GameCube sales.

Emulation Information
Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards
NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during Bounding Box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11. They get dramatically slower as the internal resolution increase, even though comparable AMD graphics cards suffer no slowdown at all. This is due to Dolphin hitting a slow path on those graphics cards. It is recommended that supported NVIDIA users use other video backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that.
When Using Older Graphics Cards
This game uses a feature known as 'Bounding Box', which Dolphin typically uses Shader Storage Buffer Objects (SSBO) to emulate. This requires a NVIDIA GeForce 400 series or newer, a AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series or newer, or a Intel Broadwell Integrated GPU (Intel HD 5300+) or newer and an operating system that supports OpenGL 4.3, D3D11, GLES 3.1, or Vulkan. On macOS, MoltenVK can be used to attain Vulkan support on the latest builds. If Bounding Box is not emulated correctly, the game will show severe graphical glitches and won't be playable to finish.
Because Dolphin has gone through many variants of Bounding Box support throughout its history, it may be possible for older graphics cards to use less accurate versions of Bounding Box present in older builds. On Android, 5.0-9322 or newer is required for Bounding Box to function at all when using OpenGL ES due to an unrelated bug. Please note that other driver issues can often cause issues with Bounding Box emulation, which can produce similar bugs to having no Bounding Box support whatsoever. In this case, updating drivers or using a different video backend may be your only recourse.
Freeze When Starting a New Game
Disc images that have been converted to the NKit format will freeze when attempting to start a new game. This is a problem with NKit, not Dolphin. Converting the disc image back to a non-NKit disc image will fix the problem. See issue 11900.

5.0-266 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i7-5820K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 | DX12 runs at 60 FPS in 4k but suffers some minor drops when flipping.Suffers major drops in the elevators at the beginning, | Brimaster2000 |
5.0-266 | Windows 8.1 | Intel Core i3-4030U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | Runs perfectly but animations won't bound with BG images if aspect ratio is 'stretch to window'. Sometimes, Pixls don't appear after going through doors, which when tried to switch to 3D, results in computer freeze. | SahilGagrai |
5.0-3012 | Windows 7 | Intel Celeron G1610 @2.6 GHz | Intel HD Graphics | Runs excellent, NEEDS bounding emulation and EFB to RAM. Runs 60 FPS using D3D11 (Reaching up to 80 disabling frame limits), but OGL runs way slower, 45-55 FPS. Native Resolution. | EblfIYH |
