Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/gopher64/gopher64/issues/652

Dolphin added 2 secondary options recently that emulate this and is inspired by older n64 emulators that have this the default. obviously for accuracy this shouldn't be the default if added. unsure if doing this will affect libdragon sdk games or not.

EDIT: for clarification for dev and accuracy pipeline synchronization is needed and disabling it by default is not a good idea since i dont know what games emulating this fixed, however im am sure some games need it which is why i suggested it as an enhancement like overclocking and upscaling are.

Gopher64 already contains a fairly robust "selective pipeline sync" feature that isn't present in any other emulators that use parallel-rdp (Ares, Simple64, RMG, for example).

I wrote about it on my Patreon page, but basically, it watches the CPU reads/writes, and only performs a sync when it sees that the CPU is going to access memory space that the GPU might also want to access.

So I don't really see the need to add an option to disable it; it should only happen when it is actually necessary. Disabling it would just introduce bugs.

Paying for the Patreon isn't necessary to read the articles, you should be able to read as a free member. I don't post there too often though.
