Problems
Videos
Intro videos and other menu videos show black screen with audio. Simply skip them with the start button.
Loading Times
Loading times are notably longer emulating than on console, but everything still loads.
Audio Repeats
Audio repeats itself sometimes, but not too often
Ground Glitches
On anything above 1x Anisotropic Filtering makes the ground glitch to rather large see through triangles, although it's not too noticeable and isn't anything to really take away from the gaming experience. On 1x Anisotropic Filtering this glitch is not present.
Invisible Platforms
On the level "Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt", a few raising platforms are invisible. They are still there, so it's possible to pass, however it requires you to jump onto these platforms with little idea as to where they stop, making it easy to fall into the lava below you. This isn't too big a problem, as springs underneath the invisible platforms are still present to show you where the middle of these platforms are.

Test Entries | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
3.0-716 | Intel Core i3-370m | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 | The game is (so far) very playable with a good amount of glitches, in which these glitches are very small and only one of them is well noticeable. | JuCstin | |
3.0-763 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i3-2100 | nVidia GeForce GTS 450 x2 | Instant Crash at start up. Cannot play. To be more specific, newer versions of Dolphin have been giving me backpatch errors which will ultimately end the game. Disabling Panic Headers appears to stop this, but the game crashes still. | AnonSVN |
