The lid to the toy box has blown off its hinges and the toys are ready to rumble in Gotcha Force (ガチャフォース). It's toy versus toy in this over-the-top 3D action shooter. You can create your own fighting force with over 100 unique characters. Up to four players can battle for control in four-player battle mode or two against two. Play against your friends or work together to defeat your evil foes. For more characters, you can trade with your teammate to assemble a powerful unit and roll on to victory.

Problems

Force 20 Glitch Invalid Reads

With Dolphin default settings, a glitch commonly called the "Force 20 Glitch" does not work properly in Dolphin. While the behavior is fairly close to console, Dolphin is actually too lenient and will often continue when the real game would crash. As well, it may throw up "Invalid Read" errors that can be pushed through.

For proper behavior, Enable MMU is required. **Note**: This glitch can corrupt the emulated memory card, so be very careful when performing the glitch with or without MMU.

Enhancements

Widescreen

The Widescreen Hack has issues with 2D scaling and position. The PAL version was made by Ralf.
