Emulation Information
High Requirements
This game maxes out the GameCube GPU hardware by rendering as many frames as it can in many cases causing it to render between 20 - 30 FPS. Dolphin, by default, emulates an "infinitely fast" GPU, causing the game to always want to run at 60 FPS, making it more demanding than most GameCube games.
Problems
Template:SShadowingTemplate:/s
The dynamic car shadowing on the player car requires zfreeze emulation. Support was added in 4.0-5279.
