Shaders have to be generated though, and since GC/Wii games are not designed to create shaders ahead of time as a PC game would, when a new effect appears Dolphin has to delay the CPU thread while the GPU thread performs the compilation a pause that does not exist on the consoles. Modern computers and mobile systems do not work in this way, requiring the use of shaders as an intermediary so your system's GPU can perform the tasks that the GC and Wii GPU performed directly. The GC and Wii have no concept of shaders - everything is executed directly by the hardware without an intermediate programming language (API). Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the most susceptible titles to shader compilation stuttering. To avoid this issue, you can simply disable Immediately Present XFB or Vsync in Dolphin.

This is because the game uses an uncapped framerate during that specific screen. If Vsync is enabled and Immediately Present XFB is enabled, the 'Reading Disc' screen that is shown while the game is starting will take a long time to finish.

Xenoblade uses a real time battle system, allowing the player to control his movement and attacks at will while party members attack automatically. The game world is designed to give the feeling of freedom and scope to the player the environment is massive and most of it is available for exploration right from the start. The game follows a young man named Shulk, who wields the titular Xenoblade – an energy blade called the Monado – against the Mechon in order to ultimately save the world. Originally not intended to be released in North America, a massive fan movement called Operation Rainfall convinced Nintendo to publish it in more regions. Xenoblade Chronicles, known in Japan as Xenoblade ( ゼノブレイド, Zenobureido), is a console role-playing game, and the first of the Xeno series to make it to a Nintendo console.
