Mitigating Lag and Slowdown Fixing Planet Elysia and Pirate Homeworld Music Slowdown and Lag:

Go to Dolphin VR Config/Advanced. I had Enable CPU Clock000 Override set to 44% as being the most balanced (May vary for other setups)

But also played with 29% as well and alternated between the two, especially for Planet Elysia and the rainy parts of Pirate Homeworld, where the music and framerate take a big hit.

44% will look the most smooth but the audio quality will vary

29% will improve the sound and speed in most cases but the framerate will suffer slightly

You can also go to Dolphin VR Config/General and Enable Dual Core speedup (checked) (Might help with performance if you experience issues turn it off.)

If you still experience Slowdown:

Note: If you have Load Custom Textures or Dump Textures on found in Graphics/Advanced, it will slow down the game.

You can also speed up the game if you turn off some off the Action Replay Culling codes. It's not recommended as it takes away from the immersion of the game.

Fixing the Scan Visor:

Go to Graphics/Hacks:

For Embedded Frame Buffer (EFB) Select:

Skip EFB Access From CPU (checked)

Ignore Format Changes (checked)

For EFB Copies Select:

Only thing selected should be RAM (IMPORTANT: If this isn't set correctly won't be able to use the scan visor.)

For External Frame Buffer (XFB) Select:

Disable (checked) Real (checked)

Other

Fast Depth Calculation (checked)

Disable Bounding Box (checked)

Changing the Scale of the World:

You might notice the size of things in the game might feel a bit too big like, Samus's beam gun or her suit in relation to you, (I actually preferred this.) but if you want to normalize things you can go to VR settings/VR Game and change the Unites Per Metre setting up one tick from 1.21 to 1.71. This will slightly bring down the scale of the world. If you liked it at default then keep the original 1.21 setting.

Don't use the Pullup VR options:

In the VR settings if you select Pullup 20fps, 30fps, 60ftp etc., you will have weird graphical artifacts surrounding you.

Recentering the Aiming Reticule:

If the aiming Reticule is off-center for any reason, you can re-center it by going into the menu and selecting the Samus Icon in the upper right-hand corner called: "Recenter on Samus".

Other Minor Issues and Solutions:

Missing Dialogue Text:

Story/cutscene dialogue text will not display so when someone stops talking just press A.

Ship Travel Map Issues:

When traveling between planets from the map with your ship, you will notice the locations of the travel points are hard to see due to the game being in VR. You will just have to move around the screen with the cursor until you find where your travel point is.

Charge Shot Blurry Square:

When you fire a charged shot you will notice a blurry square appears partially blocking your view. I tried to make a Hide Object code to fix this, but it ended up erasing the game text layer. Unless someone can make a hide object code to remove this, the only other option is to use 3DMigoto. If anyone succeeds in making a hide object code that doesn't erase the game text, let me know. But here is the workaround:

Alternate Fix: 3DMigoto can fix the blurry shot square. Just press 5 on the numpad multiple times while at the same time shooting the beam to see when the burry square disappears (Usually you only have to press it once) and then save the setting with 6. For more on how to use 3DMigoto with Dolphin VR view the tutorial in the setup guide found here:

https://new.reddit.com/r/Dolphin_VR/comments/a5md0j/dolphin_vr_quick_setup_guide_and_tips/

Alternate Visor View:

You can also use 3DMigoto to erase the grey part of Samu's Visor, leaving the transparent underlay. This view lets you see more of the world. Press 2 multiple times on the numpad until the grey visor part disappears (Usually you only have to press it once) and it will remove it and then you can save your setting with 3. Just be aware it will erase the icons in the menu and the Seeker Missile lock on points, but you can always press 0 to remove all 3DMigoto settings and 0 again to put them back on, or cycle out of it by continuously pressing 2 until it goes back to the default. Again, for how to use 3DMigoto view the setup guide link above.

Scan Text Issues:

Sometimes when you scan an object or enemy you will notice the text won't display correctly. Most times if this happens you can just press 1 to go into the menu to read the text in further detail there.

Leviathan Core Prompts:

After each Seed boss a Leviathan core will come out. A prompt to press A is supposed to be displayed when you can destroy is missing in VR. Just press A and the core will be destroyed like normal.

Fixing the Camera if it Gets Messed Up:

With the game running or not running (I think when the game is running) try going into VR settings (the eye icon) then the VR Game tab. Go down to the bottom and hit 'Reset to Default'. This should revert any camera settings back to default. If you completely close out of Dolphin VR and if it asks you to save settings say yes. Re-enter the game afterwards. Also, if you need to recenter the screen you need to use 'Freelook reset' found in Options/Hotkey settings. Just set freelook reset to your spacebar or something. Hit it to recenter the camera.

If these options don't work go to VR settings again and make sure Roll, Pitch, and Yaw are unchecked. Also, Go into VR settings, VR Game tab, and make sure at the bottom left-hand corner 'Read Camera Angles' is turned off.

If none of these things work, The only thing I can think of is to manually bring the pause menu into view with the freelook camera up, down, left right. Until it's centered. Set the keys in the Hotkey settings.

Unknown AR Code: (not sure what this does but it doesn't hurt gameplay at all.)
