House of the Dead: Overkill
The House of the Dead: Overkill is a first-person rail shooter video game developed by Headstrong Games and published by Sega.

It was released on February 10, 2009 in North America and February 13, 2009 in Europe. The game was released in Japan on September 17, 2009 bundled with the Wii Zapper accessory.

Problems
Anti-aliasing Blur
With Dolphin 3.0 and recent builds, if using Direct3D11, enabling anti-aliasing will cause the menus to have a blur effect during transitions. However, there is no in-engine issues with anti-aliasing. Direct3D9 does not have this blur issue.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Controls
It's possible to set up the mouse to control the aiming, shooting, and reloading. It's also possible to set up the mouse to control shooting of both guns in duel-wield mode (left-click to fire left gun, right-click to fire right gun). For dual-wield, you can use the keyboard to reload and switch to "gangsta" style. Attached here is a set of config files for using the mouse and keyboard.
