Excite Truck is the first Wii game to let people select music, in the form of MP3s from an SD card, to be played in the background while they are playing instead of the music provided by the game. This feature is also used by Endless Ocean.
Problems
Framelimiter Problems
Dolphin runs Excite Truck at speeds as high as 180FPS, yet shows a low vps. The game is very difficulty to play in this situation and there is no known solution at this time. See issue 6209.
Main Menu Background Video Corruption
The main menu background video may appear corrupted, or may be distorted. Checking Fast Mipmaps and then unchecking clears the image up just fine. May only apply to OpenGL. Any have a suggestion for a better solution?
