These games seem to constantly have unused vertices, and this is worst shown in the Shadow Pokemon purification cutscene. The Shadow Pokemon purification cutscene is even worse on XD with forced single core mode, as instead of having FPS dropping with VPS staying 60ish, it will drop both, resulting in audio stuttering. Turning on CPUCall seems to have a 7/8 reduction of draw calls for that cutscene (~800 -> ~100), doubling performance. Many other areas of the game seem to benefit from this setting too, having some kind of performance boost.
At least on Android, SyncGPU has really bad performance compared to
single core. It's less stable too - I get fatal GPU desyncs in
Pokémon XD using the default settings.
Fixes issues 8713 and 8674. Also disables scaled efb copies by default
for New Super Mario Bros to take advantage of the recent efb to texture
spinning coin fix.
It removes settings that were removed from dolphin to clean up the
database. Modifies some gameinis to use the new 3 letter gameid. Adds
Hyrule field speedup hack for Japanese and American version of Twilight
Princess for wii. Removes efb to ram from Twilight Princess, Tony Hawk's
Pro Skater 3, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Prince of Persia Forgotten
Sands, Mario Superstar Baseball, Okami, FFCC the Crystal Bearers and The
Simpsons due to the recent dolphin changes. Enables efb to ram for The
Magic Obelisk because it needs it and some more minor changes.
