Tiger Woods 2005 to 2007 have no Shadows for golfers. I used both the final version and a Debug version with free camera to showcase for example.

Hi all, I want to update on the situation of two games in this list that is:  Harry Potter the Goblet of Fire, and Jade Empire game. 

First I want to say thank you to Triticum0 who has created and maintained a very well list for everyone.

I have followed the Xemu project for 1 year, my previous PC spec is Intel i5 10400 and AMD R9 290 graphic card. I have encountered shadow problems in these two games.

Recently I checked these games again, with the latest Xemu version 0.7.83 as of this writing. I found the framerate of games has improved, but the shadow problems still persist.

These shadow problems happen in both the native resolution and 2x Resolution Scale which I use to take the screenshots here.

This is Harry Potter 4 game screenshot with a shadow problem
loi 8

This is Jade empire screenshot shadow problem

Screenshot 2023-01-26 113120

My PC spec now is Intel i5 12400f, Win 10, Rtx 3080 12 Gb with the latest graphic card driver.

Hope that these problems will be fixed in the future, I also want to say that I am really grateful because of the Xemu developers and every contributor who have made this great project for the community in recent years. Thank you, everyone

@raintrija Use this build and it should fix the issue in Harry Potter 4 and jade empire. #1362

Note: I only tested the harry potter game with the older pull of the pr but I know it fixed the issue(#735). as for jade it should fix the issue but please note, It may cause z-fighting issues with higher res scales past 1x so be warned. Also if you need to have building the pr just responded to this and I will have you get the build set up

@Triticum0 Hi Triticum0, thanks for your response. Yes, if you can help me to build the pr or send me a guide to do this, please both ways are good ^^. Thank you for your kindness. Sometimes I will reply late, I apologize. Because I'm from Vietnam a country in Asia with a different timezone.

About the issues with higher resolution scales past 1x, although it is unfortunate because I hope to play these games again with 2x res to reduce the jaggy and aliasing of native res.

But I understand to create and improve the Xemu emulator is very hard. Maybe in the future, there will be a solution to solve these shadow problems when playing with higher-resolution scaling.

I also hope that people and the community will be supportive, understanding, and nice to Xemu's developers and other contributors like you, Triticum0.

Although I am not a programmer, from what I know developing and maintaining a project like the Xemu emulator is very difficult.
Not to mention that Xemu's developers have a lot of other things to care about like their jobs and family, life... So I'm very grateful for what Xemu's developers and other contributors have done for the community.

Thank you. Wish you the best.

Shadows on Splat-Magazine-Renegade-Paintball do work and this game needs to be removed from this page.
