r4018 | Windows XP x86 | Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 2.13GHz | nVidia GeForce 7600 GT | The game, unfortunatley, has a few bugs that sadly impair the gameplay significantly. During animatic scenes during the game frame rates drop down to below 1FPS until regular (controlable) gameplay resumes do the FPS increase to full speed.
The sound is the next bug issue. There is sound being recognized by the emulator but it is not being interpreted properly and suffers from the same audio issues as Dawn of the Dragon. This is why i have the sound disabled during the recording. There are no graphical glitches and everything in the core works fine. You can create a save game and play through the game quite well. Speeds in game tend to stay at about 50 FPS or higher for me excluding the MAJOR slowdowns. Pikmin 2 Wii (NPC) on Dolphin Wii/GC Emulator (720p HD) |
