Once you try and display the map (pressing up on the D-pad), green speckles appear on-screen, and the framerate drops to ~1fps whilst the map overlay appears - very slowly. You can't then even navigate round the map, so you have to press B to dismiss it and get back to the game - it goes away VERY slowly, at ~1fps or so. Once back in the game, the framerate returns to normal, but all the graphics are then corrupted: EVERYTHING is out of focus - not just objects in the distance as usually happens (since the game uses depth of field blur), and light sources that aren't even visible on-screen (like round a corner for example) start to cast halos over the screen even when you haven''t actually got near them...you can't get the game to return to normal until you reboot the Wii
I actually have run into the same issue on a single game disc burn of windwaker and only the Forbidden Fortress area seems to be affected. Once that part of the game is complete and you end up on Windfall Island, everything is back to normal. Map works and graphics are fine.
Btw, this is with a US Wii, v8 MIOS patched, same thing through both the gcloader and the gamma loader directly and rebooted, 480i and 480p.
