Sonic and company are back and better than ever in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Dr. Eggman is causing trouble once again, and it's up to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to stop him. Experience faster action, all-new two-player games, and a branching storyline that lets you choose to save the world as the Hero side, or conquer it as the Dark side. In the single-player mode, you'll go through more than 30 unique stages, which include a forgotten pyramid, an abandoned military base, and a giant space station. And then there's the expanded two-player mode, which features 12 playable characters competing in new head-to-head games.
Problems
Tiny Chao Garden
Connections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of "Tiny Chao Garden" does not work. Dolphin will not connect.
Black Bar at Bottom of screen
This is caused by the game running in 50Hz Mode. Hold down B as emulation starts to get a prompt for 60Hz Mode.
Crash in Wild Canyon (2nd Hero level)
If framelimit is set to "auto", then the game will crash upon the player trying to float up using the wind tunnel in the middle of the level. Setting the framelimit to "60" should do the job.
Random FPS drops
Some levels (notably City Escape) will sometimes seemingly out of the blue drop the framerate to about half of regular speed. The cause is unknown.
Configuration
No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this title.

Character shadows don't appear in levels and there is a graphical glitch in driving levels unless EFB scale is set to 1x.) | Ac |
3.0-458 | Mac OS X 10.6.8 | Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.13GHz | nVidia GeForce 9400M | Who knew that upgrading to Dolphin 3 would boost this game to perfection?!! Well, almost. Not only are levels at least 90% now, but even cutscenes run at their normal speed. Absolutely no graphical glitches, and there were some in my previous testing. | Ac |
