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
Text Missing
Random letters and numbers missing, most noticeably in Chao World but occasionally in subtitles. The cause is unknown, and occurs even with a real GC bios. Setting the Texture Cache Accuracy to safe seems to be the fix.
Dual Core Mode Causes Crashes
If Dual Core mode is on, the emulator will trigger panic handlers and inevitably crash. See issue 7143.
Tiny Chao Garden
Connections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of "Tiny Chao Garden" does work as of the VBA-Link updates. In order to get a connection, sometimes the GBA Link has to be turned off as it's attempting to connect. There may be slow framerates as well. Getting the chao back in can be problematic, but has worked at least once.
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, or use RealXFB to fix 50 Hz mode.
Meteor Herd Crash
Select the stage "Meteor Herd", and dig in the ground below the starting area. If done the game will crash.
Template:SGraphics IssuesTemplate:/s
During Kart races, the texture directly left, right, behind, and before the Kart is either static or lines. During King Boom Boo boss fight with Knuckles, when the King is underground, his shadow is invisible. In addition, static or lines may occur. The cause is unknown. Fixed in recent development builds.
Template:SCrash in Wild Canyon (2nd Hero level)Template:/s
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" solves the issue. Fixed sometime before 4.0-4647.

r6758 | Mac OS X 10.6.8 | Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.13GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 9400M | Running very smoothly at half speed (30). Sound desyncing during normal cutscenes, CGI cutscenes too slow to bear. Character shadows don't appear in levels and there is a graphical glitch in driving levels unless EFB scale is set to 1x.) | Ac |

r7719 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.65GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti | Runs smoothly for first level, but then crashes immediately upon loading second level, regardless of settings. I've tried everything | AgainstYourThought |
3.0-226 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.6GHz | ATI Radeon HD 6770M | Flawless 60FPS in 1080p, no crashes | firstEncounter |
3.0-371 | Slackware 13.37 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti | Perfect. Consistent 60FPS with no drops. Audio sounded fuzzy in places; changing backend from ALSA to OpenAL solved it. No crashes whatsoever. | Shonumi |
3.0-413 | Mac OS X 10.7.3 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.7GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6770M | Excellent | Discotazo |
3.0-415 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2300 @ 3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 | Perfect, 60FPS. | MiniBolt |
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 |
3.0-505 | Windows Vista | Intel Pentium @ 2GHz | Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family | Introduction cutscene lags a lot and runs at 11FPS. The menu screen runs at full speed with a few hiccups. The game itself is kind of playable at a steady 15-20FPS. The sound is choppy due to the video lagging behind. | Mchccjg12 |
3.0-688 | Mac OS X 10.7.4 | Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6750M | Smooth. Playable. | jedivulcan |
3.0-735 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2500 @ 3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 525MX | Runs Perfectly At 60FPS (OpenGL 1366×768 2× Native 4× AA 16×). Perfectly smooth. | Har8 |
3.0-758 | Windows 7 | AMD Athlon II 4X 635 @ 3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 | Works perfectly like it did on my GameCube. Beat the game too, No bugs or slowdowns. 1920x1080 widescreen 16x AA 4X AA | ALLEN2 |
4.0-652 | Windows 7 | AMD FX 4300 @ 3.8GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7850 | Almost always runs at 60FPS and is buttery smooth. Only frame drops were in City Escape where it dropped to 45 a couple of times.(Direct 3D 1680x1050 3× Native No AA) | Ryan1016 |
4.0-4151 | Windows 7 | AMD Athlon X4 640 @ 3.15GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 550 Ti | Playable to completion with absolutely no flaws. Silky smooth framerates throughout. Also just FYI, there is an audio looping glitch with the jet fighter sounds on certain levels (like Mission Street). This is a bug in the game code and is not a Dolphin issue. DX11, HLE OpenAL, 3x scale | Durandal |
4.0-4647 | Ubuntu 14.04 | Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 | Playable with default settings. Wild Canyon glitch fixed. The white text on black background that opens most cutscenes fails to update properly without Texture Cache Accuracy: Safe, but otherwise everything works at 100% speed with rare microstuttering/slowdown in specific stages and cutscenes. Tested hero story mode and chao garden. | Xerxes |
