Emulation Information

Wii Balance Board

This title supports Wii Balance Board, though no emulation is provided for the Wii Balance Board. The real Wii Balance Board may be required to access some features.

• In Bluetooth Passthrough mode, a Balance Board can be synced just like any Wii Remote, without any special configuration. Refer to the article for details.
• Otherwise, set the Balance Board option in the Controller Configuration dialog from "None" to "Real Balance Board". Then press the red "Sync" button in the battery compartment of the balance board, and press "Refresh" if Continuous Scanning is disabled. There is no fast sync (Wii Remote 1+2) in the Balance Board, so the sync button must be used each time.

Problems

Avatar Sometimes Blacks Out

After the end of an event, sometimes an avatar's face may not show up next to their name, instead being replaced by a black square. Use DISABLE Store EFB Copies to Texture Only to avoid this. This usually occurs during longer minigames where it's more likely the EFB Copy will need to be regenerated.

Photo Opportunities

All pictures will come out black unless "Store EFB Copies to Texture" is unchecked.

Victory/Defeat Screen Flickering

Pie Toss, Mole Panic, Power Boxer and likely others show off-screen rendering in-between valid frames. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.

This shows up between the valid frames.

Virtual XFB causes only valid frames to be rendered

Top of Screen Flickering

Certain minigames (such as Power Boxing) will have flickering at the top edge of the screen if VirtualXFB is enabled. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
5.0	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-6400 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	Settings: DX11, 6x Native Resolution (for 4k), AA = 8x MSAA, AF = 16x. The game has a 30fps cap (because of its open world and the graphics that push the Wiis hardware). Unfortunately this cap is not removable in dolphin. The game runs perfectly @ 30fps and doesn’t crash/stutter. I can’t see any bugs.	Sam1
5.0-424	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.8 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070	Plays great. One of my favorite Wii games so far. Great with multiple players or as a single player experience.	JMC4789
