Sonic Colors

Sonic Colors (ソニック カラーズ Sonikku Karāzu in Japan, Sonic Colours in European and Australian markets) is a 2010 platforming game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game has similar gameplay to the 2008 game Sonic Unleashed, using both side-scrolling and third-person perspectives.

60FPS hack

Enter this as an AR code in the game's configuration settings. This patch will unlock the game's frame rate from 30FPS on actual hardware to 60FPS. It can cause some minor physics issues (nevertheless, the game can still easily be completed). Check "Store EFB Copies To Texture Only.". It may also be advisable to increase the emulated CPU clock to maintain 60FPS rendering, although this option is not available in recent builds and is not required.

Known problems:


 * Aquarium Park, Act 1: The scripted loop at the beginning of the level bugs out, sending Sonic out of the stage to his death. To fix this, simply disable the 60FPS patch for that particular section. Save states can be used even when the patch is enabled/disabled.

Dualcore Sensitivity
This is a dualcore sensitive game. If your computer is fast enough and you never lag, then this won't cause you any issues. If you have a slower computer, the CPU and GPU threads can desync and when they do, the game enters a state that it can crash. With a strong enough computer, you can also use single core to completely negate any chance of this happening. SyncGPU and Deterministic Dualcore also work with this title and prevent the crashes. Whether they are faster or slower than single core depends on the computer. Enabling Store EFB Copies to Texture lessens the chance of a CPU/GPU desync.

Odd Spring Textures
In OpenGL, springs appear with weird textures, even when turning on Safe Texture cache (though, when turned on, it TEMPORARILY solves the texture problem).

Glow Effects
Glow effect are less subtle than on the Wii.

Text in Credits
Letters on the credits are invisible (but are still interactive).

Boost Effect
Some people have reported that boosting causes a large portion of the viewable area around Sonic to go completely black, making navigation quite difficult, though this bug does not affect game performance. It seems to happen mostly when the internal resolution is set to above 1x native (640x528). This has been fixed in recent builds.

Missing HUD and Menu
The Menu and the In-Game Hud may be invisible if you don't enable "Custom Projection Hack" on "Game Properties" ON Development builds the "Custom Projection Hack" is missing, so the game is broken right now until fixed. Fixed by.
