The Hollywood Squares game features all the favorite elements of the TV show as 2 contestants play head-to-head in a bid to win money and prizes. Nine cubes make up the tic-tac-toe style board, occupied by Center Square celebrities Martin Mull, Kathy Griffin, Jeffrey Tambor or Brad Garett. Celebrities are asked questions and reply via hilarious video footage from the TV show. Players judge whether answers are true or false, all the while incorporating outrageous zingers to fuel fun. A correct answer earns the player a square on the board- the first player to mark 3 squares in a row wins!
Problems
Crash on Boot
This game checks what country you are set to in order to determine what language strap screen to load. Because certain versions of the game don't contain certain versions of the strap screen. By default, Dolphin sets the country to Switzerland, so the U.S. version of the game will crash. Refer issue 10066.
To fix, load up the Wii System menu and set the Country to any NTSC region country (all listed countries in the NTSC System Menu will be NTSC countries.)
Tile Edges
Sometimes image tiles seem to be rendered 1px off, leaving small gaps or improperly drawn tile edges. This occurs even with 1x Internal Resolution and Anisotropic Filtering / Anti-aliasing off. Refer issue 6833. This is due to various texture interpolation issues and may happen on a real Wii. This may not occur with PAL releases.
Can be made to match Real Wii behavior by using `Manual Texture Sample`.
Software Renderer Doubling
The software renderer does not have correct XFB emulation for this game, causing the top half of the screen to be rendered in both fields. Refer issue 10694.
Flickering
With default settings this game will flicker constantly. Set the External Frame Buffer on and set it to Virtual to fix it. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.

No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this title.
