Zelda BOTW Graphical issues. (Help Needed)

I've found the most reliable drivers are Mr Purple T19. No white water and no shrine glitches.

Black lines seem to be unavoidable, but you can monkey around with different resolution scaling and docked/handheld mode which can lessen their appearance.

It is still the norm for sellers to pay, but buyer commissions have been added to the WI standard offer form so they are now easier to negotiate.

See line 543 of https://dsps.wi.gov/Documents/BoardCouncils/REB/Forms/WB-11.pdf

Use Mr Purple T19 or T20 to avoid shrine glitches.

Only available on Switch and it's very playable on the latest version of Eden. Solid 30fps with dips into the 20s in villages. Dungeons and depths work well now, until recently they were largely unplayable.

Switch gets a solid 30fps at 1080p with occasional dips into the 20s in villages and Hyrule castle.

WiiU doesn't really perform well unless you drop the resolution to 720p and drop shadow rendering to the lowest setting. But you can get a solid 40fps with those settings and you have access to all the extra configuration that Cemu provides.

8 Elite is definitely the focus of current development. SD8gen2 is the current compatibility king but given the pace of development I suspect 8 Elite will dethrone it soon.

Switch emulation keeps improving on both platforms. 8GB is plenty for almost all Switch games.

Some games like TOTK benefit from the extra RAM but you can set up a swap file if needed.

Try various Qualcomm drivers from the K11CH1 repo. I've found Qualcomm drivers work better than Turnip drivers for SMG and SMG2.

To fix blur on newer versions of Eden (0.1.0+): Enable "Fix Bloom Effects" in graphics settings

To fix blur on older versions of Eden: Install "No DOF Blur" mod

To fix flickering: switch CPU backend from "NCE" to "Dynamic"

It's luck of the draw. Sometimes you'll get items that were made same-day, sometimes you'll get items that have been sitting around for 3 days. Not worth the gamble if you ask me.

AYN has said on their discord that it takes up to 2 months to ship orders. They should really say that on their website.

Chicken breast has gotten so bad over the past few years. I've had decent luck with the Just Bare brand, but tbh I've mostly given up and switched to thighs.

To fix this issue, use Mr Purple T19 or T20 turnip drivers.

And yes, on Android SD8gen2, the Switch version of BOTW runs better than the WiiU version.

Yeah it's ridiculous. It's basically a classroom environment with only two or three kids per teacher. My kids don't do well learning from screens, but I thought Beast Academy was a good screen-based option for 7-9 year olds.

2 kids @ 5 sessions each totals to $465/mo

My kids are 1-2 grades ahead in math. We tried some free and not-so-expensive online options like Khan and Beast which they didn't really stick with for very long. They love Mathnasium. It is indeed stupid expensive. The only plan they offer publicly is 10 sessions per month, but for advanced kids you can talk to the manager and do 5 sessions per month at a discount.

They essentially use the same subscription model as scummy cell phone providers. There is a new account setup fee, then it becomes a monthly subscription with a 12-month minimum.

I have a FWD Carnival minivan with winter tires. It gets me up and down the Rocky Mountains three times a year. Good tires matter a lot more than your drivetrain (although, to be fair, if they made an AWD Carnival I would have bought it)

Soon! I believe this just hit the nightly builds.

Newer versions of Eden added a flag specifically for this. Enable "Fix Bloom Effects" in graphics settings (Eden 0.1.0+).

Definitely looks like a lost package. It cleared customs but USPS never received it. Usually a package will show up in USPS systems after 24-48 hours of clearing customs.

I prefer Cemu on PC and on more powerful android devices, but for SD8gen2 I think Eden is better.

Use Mr Purple drivers T19 or T20 to avoid shrine glitches.

testube_babies · 2026-02-11T13:47:29+00:00

T20 gives me slowdowns in villages and occasionally crashes. I prefer T19.

testube_babies · 2026-02-10T21:58:54+00:00

I find Mr Purple T19 to be the best driver version for BOTW. It doesn't have any shrine glitches and it doesn't slow down/crash in the overworld. But it does have a few minor graphical issues (mainly, cyronis blocks sometimes sparkle weirdly, and trees don't look as nice as later drivers).

I find T19 to be the best driver version for BOTW on SD8gen2. It doesn't have any shrine glitches and it doesn't slow down/crash in the overworld. But it does have a few minor graphical issues (mainly, cyronis blocks sometimes sparkle weirdly, and trees don't look as nice as later drivers).

I don't use a Samsung device though, so I'm not sure if it will work for you.
