The DK Bongos are just a standard controller in disguise (ie, it uses your GCPad input mapping):
Clap Sensor = Analog R Trigger
start = start
Top of Left Bongo = Y Button
Bottom of Left Bongo = B Button
Top of Right Bongo = X Button
Bottom of Right Bongo = A Button
Most of the games using EFB peeks are suffering from major performance problems
when these peeks are not disabled in the graphics settings. This is an attempt
to fix this in the GL renderer by doing the glReadPixels in bulk: instead of
doing a lot of 1x1 pixel reads, read for 64x64 pixels at once and keep that in
a cache.
Deck menu in Baten Kaitos: 3FPS -> 54FPS
Character creation in Monster Hunter Tri: 7FPS -> 60FPS
Added GameCube Microphone support. Uses your default audio recording device. The Microphone is selectable from the Slot A/Slot B pulldowns under the GameCube tab. The Microphone button can be set under GCPad configuration for pad 1 and 2. Thanks to MooglyGuy and skidau.
zcomploc is a feature of the BP which switch depth test from before the alpha
test to after the alpha test. This way, transparent fragments are written to
the depth buffer too.
The current implementation is quite hacky and does not cover all cases but is
enough to fix problems in a lot of game. A complete implementation would
require a multipass rendering method and is attempted in the
zcomploc-experimental branch.
According to testers feedback, fixes bugs in the following games:
- Baten Kaitos
- Baten Kaitos Origins
- 007: Everything or Nothing
- Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
And probably other games too.

In previous revisions of Dolphin, changing texture generation settings (via
GX_SetTexCoordGen for example) did not regenerate the vertex shader and flush
the vertices. Adding this flush should fix texture problems in a few game, for
example in Superman: Shadow of Apokolips:

This branch vastly reduces stuttering caused by redundant shader compilations.
With this code Red Steel 2 has much less stuttering and is actually playable on my hardware now. Other games probably benefit in other ways as well, but don't expect all kinds of stuttering to be magically fixed now.
For reference: Set EnableShaderDebugging to True if you experience any regressions, it should automatically tell you what's wrong then.
