Problems

Black Screen

After the intro animation and selecting start from the menu a black screen appears and no further progress occurs. Disable Enable Dual Core to resolve this. Refer issue 8538 and issue 7143.

Black Screen

In 5.0 half way into stage two 90% of the screen is cover up making the game unplayable. Also happens when pausing, Return to title and start a new game. Restarting emulation/emulator seems to fix it. Disable Store EFB.

Game is playable.

4.0-1349 Windows 8 AMD FX 6300 @ 4.3GHz AMD Radeon HD 6450 50FPS/50VPS. Perfect emulation. Faefdsedf
4.0-8342 Windows 10 Intel Core i7 @ 4.3GHz AMD R9 270X Black screen after menu. Wem
4.0-9168 Windows 7 Athlon II X4 630 @ 3.2GHz AMD Radeon HD 6570 Works perfect. Disable Dual Core or it hangs after menu Golem777
5.0 Windows 10 Intel Core i7 @ 4.3GHz AMD R9 270X Half way into stage two 90% of the screen is cover up in black. Wem
5.0-550 Windows 10 x64 Phenom II x4 965 @ 3.40GHz Nvidia GTX 960 It works perfect whitout flaws (tested it in a full run), to avoid the black screen you need to uncheck the dual core option (With Dual Core option ON it gives instablackscreen after the tittle screen) and to avoid having a black screen between stages you need to uncheck the "Store EFB" the game need to copy EFB to RAM on WIN 10. ALSO do not use "Force Texture Filtering" it will give graphics corruption. THIS IS A MUST ON WIN10 FOR MOST OF THE WII WARE GAMES SUCH AS "CASTLEVANIA REBIRTH", "GRADIUS REBIRT" etc...

^5.0 Windows 10 Pro X64 Intel i5 3330 @ 3.0ghz NVIDIA GTX 760 Works perfect (a few lags here and there, but that might be me and a reinstall scheduled after years). Disable Dual Core support or the game hangs while starting a new game. The game didn't gave me a black square covering 90% of screen untill I paused and went to title for a new game. Disabling Store EFB seems to fix that. Min_Nohara
