Problems

Aspect Ratio Detection
Dolphin's aspect ratio detection has trouble with this title, particularly in the map, which can cause rapid shifts between 4x3 and 16x9 AR. Set Aspect Ratio to Force 4:3 to account for this.

Crash: Greevil's Henchman and Zook
When the battle between Mr. Verich's (Greevil) henchman and Zook starts the game crashes. This can be resolved by enabling "Synchronize GPU thread".

Illegible Text
Text is not legible, and may flicker between different corrupt text characters. This can be corrected by enabling Safe Texture Cache. Refer. Fixed since prior to.

Delayed Sound with OpenAL
When using OpenAL sound, it can take upwards of 30 seconds for the audio to play. Changing the latency has no effect but does cause lag at lower values. This can be fixed by changing to Cubeb, WASAPI or XAudio2, at which point the audio plays immediately. Cubeb is now used by default. }}}}

16:9 Aspect Ratio (Widescreen) Gecko Codes
The widescreen hack has minor clipping issues.
