Sonic Heroes

Sonic Heroes is yet another installment in the Sonic series for the Nintendo GameCube. In Sonic Heroes, three characters (in teams, of which there are 4) travel together at once, each with unique abilities which the player can utilise to defeat enemies or tackle obstacles.

Controller Issues
In the multiplayer modes of Sonic Heroes, buttons will mash even when holding them, acting like an autofire, making it impossible to play. This applies to stick movement as well. On PAL versions of the game, this also happens in the single player, making the game totally unplayable. Fixed by

This may still happen on some levels in the PAL version. Needs more testing.

Graphical Glitches with IR>1
Odd black areas appear on the right side of the screen in-game on all backends. As of, the core problem has been partially addressed, see and the April Dolphin Progress Report.

However, the problem still occurs if using resolutions above 1x Native while enabling the Scaled EFB Copy, using specific resolutions with Scaled EFB Copy off (in this case, try 1x, 2.5x, 3x, 5x, 7x), or using any level of anti-aliasing other than none. Under the OpenGL backend, if Anisotropic Filtering is changed during emulation, multiple shadows appear. The issue will remain even after the setting has been reverted to what it was at before until the emulation has been stopped and then restarted.

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix
The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing less issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.
