Custom Robo, known in Japan as Custom Robo Battle Revolution (カスタムロボ バトルレボリューション, Kasutamu Robo Batoru Reboryūshon), is a 2004 action RPG developed by Noise and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It is the fourth title of the Custom Robo series and the first to be released outside of Japan.

Custom Robo uses a real time battle system with the goal of obtaining better Robos and parts to improve your game. In additional to the traditional RPG like "Story Mode" from previous games in the franchise, Custom Robo also adds "Arena" and "Grand Battle" (tournament) modes.

Problems

Aspect Ratio Handling

Dolphin's auto aspect ratio handling can be confused by this title, sometimes improperly vacillating between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. Set aspect ratio to 4:3 to address this.

Enhancements

Widescreen

To play properly in 16:9 and eliminate Object pop-in at the edges of the screen during gameplay, before booting the game, use the following Gecko code.

  • Note: Start Dolphin with these settings - Disable Widescreen Hack in Graphics/Enhancements and set Aspect Ratio to Stretch to Window in Graphics/General.
