These games seem to constantly have unused vertices, and this is worst shown in the Shadow Pokemon purification cutscene. The Shadow Pokemon purification cutscene is even worse on XD with forced single core mode, as instead of having FPS dropping with VPS staying 60ish, it will drop both, resulting in audio stuttering. Turning on CPUCall seems to have a 7/8 reduction of draw calls for that cutscene (~800 -> ~100), doubling performance. Many other areas of the game seem to benefit from this setting too, having some kind of performance boost.
See https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13248. This is needed for the menus to work properly (not run at 1FPS and render incorrectly). Additionally, immediate XFB causes flickering.
Cubivore had an old issue before Hybrid XFB was merged involving the screen shifting left. Immediate XFB actually brings the issue back. It should be disabled for this title.
These games greatly benefit from CPU Culling, and there isn't much reason
not to just blanket enable it for all users. There is no case where you'd
want it disabled.
A call to GXCopyDisp(), made once before the title screen for no
apparent purpose, is causing heap corruption, but it isn't observed on
real hardware thanks to the data cache. Skipping the call works too,
preventing a crash on the main menu.
This patch substitutes field rendering with full frame rendering in the
NTSC and NTSC-J versions of Eggmania. This allows Dolphin's
"Force Progressive" hack to work with this title.

In 3465b2af2717ea1e54f866c2857c455b1761efe0 (#10937) I incorrectly put it under [Video_Settings] instead of [Video_Hacks], so it didn't work. https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12987 should now properly be fixed.
This game follows the anti-pattern of calling memset on a buffer in the
midst of being DMA copied to ARAM, then calling a DVD read function that
effectively cancels the memset with dcbi instructions. Dolphin does not
emulate dcache for performance reasons, so this patch removes the
offending memset call.
Patches are included for two regions and are enabled by default.
