• Native widescreen (no hacks, correct aspect ratio)
• High accuracy (TextureCacheAccuracy = 3)
• Smooth visuals (shader precompile, scaled EFB)
• Low latency (ImmediatelyPresentXFB)
• High resolution
• Stable effects (fog, snow, particles, lens flares all render correctly)

This is a clean, accurate, and stable configuration for SSX3 on a widescreen monitor with the game’s own anamorphic mode enabled. Enable Anamorphic inside the game options.

• Forces Dolphin to output 16:9.
• Since SSX3 already supports anamorphic widescreen, this ensures the image displays correctly without stretching.

• Disables Dolphin’s widescreen hack.
• Correct choice because the game already has native widescreen.
• Prevents geometry glitches and broken UI.

• Shows the full image.
• No automatic cropping of overscan or black bars.

• Disables the old GameCube/Wii framebuffer emulation.
• SSX3 doesn’t need it, and disabling it reduces latency and improves clarity.

• Reduces display latency.
• Makes camera movement feel more responsive.

• Uses the faster, modern XFB path.
• Good for Metal on macOS.

• Allows Dolphin to load high‑resolution textures.
• Useful if you’re using custom texture packs.

• Scales EFB effects (snow, fog, particles) to your internal resolution.
• Prevents low‑res artifacts at high resolutions.

• Fog stays enabled.
• SSX3 uses fog heavily for atmosphere and depth.

• Faster rendering path.
• SSX3 works perfectly with this.

• Ensures EFB copies scale with resolution.
• Keeps snow trails and particle effects crisp.

• Game doesn’t need CPU access to EFB.
• Turning it off improves performance.

• Bounding box emulation is off.
• SSX3 doesn’t use it.

• Lets the game decide.
• SSX3 already runs in progressive mode.

• Dolphin won’t skip duplicate frames.
• Improves visual stability and avoids flicker during transitions.
• Slightly higher GPU load, but your M1 Max handles it effortlessly.

• Highest accuracy mode.
• Reduces texture pop‑in and streaming glitches.
• SSX3 streams textures constantly, so this setting helps a lot.

• Allows EFB copies to go to RAM when needed.
• Helps with certain effects that break when texture‑only mode is forced.

• Maximum texture sharpness at angles.
• Makes snow, terrain, and distant surfaces look crisp.

• Lets the game decide how textures are filtered.
• Prevents over‑blurring.

• Dolphin pre‑compiles shaders before gameplay.
• Eliminates stutter during races.
• Perfect for a fast machine like the M1 Max.

• Synchronous mode.
• No visual glitches during shader compilation.
• Slightly slower startup, but flawless gameplay.

• Normal speed (100%).

• Dual‑core mode enabled.
• Big performance boost.
• Safe for SSX3.

• Loads custom controller profile
