Black & Bruised
To the fighters in Black & Bruised, boxing is no game; it's a matter of survival. Nineteen outrageous characters fight their way through grueling slugfests to win the pot or settle a score. You'll play through their intertwining stories as they battle each other in 21 different arenas. During each match, you can earn power-ups such as Armor, AutoSlip, Vamp, or Fire Damage to give your fighter a competitive advantage over your opponent.

Problems
Interlaced Output
Black & Bruised forces interlaced rendering causing its output to jitter vertically. Dolphin doesn't currently support interlaced output and attempts to convert all output to be rendered progressively. When progressive rendering can't be forced, delinterlacing doesn't occur appropriately, causing output to shift up a row for one frame and back down on the next. Refer to issue 10473.
A patch is available to work around this issue, but must be manually enabled.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
4.0-4474 | Ubuntu 14.04 | Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 | Fully playable at all default settings. Some very minor flickering/shaking during pre-rendered cutscenes and in the menus. In-game everything works fine, able to finish both training missions and a character's story mode without major issues. Audio sounds the same with either LLE or HLE. | Xerxes |
