@pedro702you should add pal star wars shadows of the empire to the ricevideolinux.ini you can add it to the bottom
{8166484d45927dab-50}
Name=Shadow of the Empire
DisableObjBG=1
ScreenUpdateSetting=4
also add this to vigilant 8 it will allow you to atleast read the text of the menus even tough the menus are messed up and stop screen flashes
ScreenUpdateSetting=4
FullTMEM=2
i probably changed stuff on my ini to try and make games work better without much sucess but i dont recall what i chnaged lol try it for yourself.@pedro702
Are these settings worth trying?
Tried Vigilante 8 with these settings and the text problems got worse.
On Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire these settings didn't help, the screen flashes still continue and these make too hard to see the menus, making it unplayable.
These another settings you told me for StarCraft 64 still has some GFX issues and makes it difficult to play.
NormalAlphaBlender=2
RenderToTexture=2
Can you send me a video of these settings working on Wii/vWii on these specific games?
PD: Only tested on Dolphin Emulator since i don't own a Wii
EDIT: Could you send me your RiceVideoLinux.ini file you're using with your custom settings you use for some N64 games? Thanks a lot
EDIT 2: Checked other games that didn't edited on my Wii64 and looks like my .ini file got corrupted by any reason. (Games that i didn't edit their settings got GFX glitches such Beetle Adventure Racing)
So i will need you to send your ini file for Rice.

@Exidous@SaulFabre I've got Shadows of the Empire working great on your 1.3 using FIX94's RiceVideoLinux.ini
What pedro is adding is the Shadows of the Empire (PAL VERSION) settings. FIX94's unmodified RiceVideoLinux.ini from 1.2 already has good settings for Shadows of the Empire (USA/NTSC VERSION). Almost no menu flickering, and aside from some messy vertices right at the beginning of the first mission, most everything looks good on my USA/NTSC Wii. I don't know if this performance is inconsistent in Dolphin, but this configuration works on real hardware.

yeah vigilant 8 menu will be like that the only diference is adding tmen=2 means you can actualy read the options on the menu instead of being gibberish and also adding ScreenUpdateSetting=4 will stop the game from flashing while ingame still some gfx issues like explosions with some black squares around them and the ingame text is gibberish too.@Exidous
I understand.
I tested all revisions of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire NTSC and the only one which used these settings were in the NTSC Rev 2 (revision 2).
Tested also PAL ROM and also worked.
@pedro702
Is these issues i will show still occur even when using the settings you told me?

Thanks for your help
PD to all users: I will release Beta5 in a few hours, i'm compiling it with same devkitPPC i've used for Beta4 but with updated libOGC2 from @Extrems and @emu_kidid as of April 9, 2022.
I can't remember if this installs to the libogc folder or the libogc2 folder with make install?
Nope.I can't remember if this installs to the libogc folder or the libogc2 folder with make install?
?
Nope. You can just replace the old files of libOGC2 with the new ones.however, do I need to delete the old libogc2 folder?
@pedro702btw does star wars shadows of the empire ntsc still flashes ingame for you? i noticed the ini only has fixes for ntsc 1.2 and pal version so im guessing i would need to track down 1.0 or 1.1 if they exits on ntsc.
Manuallly inserted your fixes to the ini and can confirm they work fine for Shadow of the Empire Rev 0/1 and StarCraft 64, with the latter one adding some tolerable graphic bugs on the menus only. Kinda wish Killer Instinct Gold had usable menus with these hotfixes.i probably changed stuff on my ini to try and make games work better without much sucess but i dont recall what i chnaged lol try it for yourself.
Also you make wii stuff and you dont have a wii or wiiu? i mean why? lol makes no sence if you have a dolphin capable pc then you should use pc emulators much better than emulator inside an emulator lol.
sadly i doesnt help, im guessing KI has some prespective issues, like the menu is there but its hidden under the background.Manuallly inserted your fixes to the ini and can confirm they work fine for Shadow of the Empire Rev 0/1 and StarCraft 64, with the latter one adding some tolerable graphic bugs on the menus only.
