Mario Kart: Double Dash. is a racing game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003. The game is the fourth installment in the Mario Kart series, following Mario Kart: Super Circuit from 2001. It was succeeded by the console games Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii in 2005 and 2008 respectively, and the arcade games in the Mario Kart Arcade GP series.

Problems

Music bug

When using DSP HLE, the music in race is not always played. It only plays the first time in the first race, but then doesn't loop as expected. To fix this, use the DSP LLE recompiler.

Intro Video

The introduction video after the Lakitu does not play. The game will sit on a black screen waiting for the video to play, and it never will. Just press start to skip the video and go to the title screen. See issue 1302

BBA Unsupported

Broadband Adapter emulation is supported as of 3.0-732 with the merger of the BBA branch.

^r7482 Windows 7 x86 Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 3GHz nVidia GeForce 9500GT Works fine, but it's still pretty glitchy. Mario Kart Wii works way better, which is kind of ironic. Rafaello Fareday

^r7714 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.4GHz AMD Radeon HD 6370M Playable: More CPU karts on screen greatly reduces the speed performance. Time trials work full speed
^3.0-370 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.3GHz nVidia GeForce GTX 465 Playable: Very minor hitches when loading stages, but perfect 60 fps once in game.

^3.0-201 Windows Vista x86 Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHz ATI Radeon X1300 I'm unable to find the XAudio2 back-end at this time. Shading and light kind of takes away the textures. Seriously slow at around 15-30 FPS with all back-ends except Direct3D 11, which of course, is just slower. Doubled-revolutions
^3.0-201 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i5-2410M @ 2.3GHz nVidia GeForce GT 525M I'm unable to find the XAudio2 back-end at this time. Grand Prix may slow down with more racers, but Time Trials work just fine, but they too have a problem. The screen looks odd. Doubled-revolutions
^3.0-415 Windows 7 x86 Intel Core i5-2300 @ 3GHz nVidia GeForce GT 430 Perfect, 60 FPS, 100% Speed. MiniBolt

^3.0-692 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i5-3570k @ 3.4GHz Intel HD Graphics 4000 Fully playable in single-player/2p co-op, 60 FPS; FPS halves in split screen; DX9, 1x native, 16x anisotropic filtering, OpenMP Texture Decoder, XAudio2 LLE recompiler. soren121
^3.0-692 Windows 7 x86 AMD Phenom II X4 810 Processor ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series The game runs fine with serious slow downs. I get around 20-30 FPS in game. After the start up sequence, the game hangs there until you press a button. Goldtex
^3.0 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i7-3820QM @ 2.6GHz nVidia GeForce GT 650M Single player runs smoothly at 60 FPS, excluding minor framerate drops during openings for circuits. Splitscreen is more intensive, dropping to 50 FPS unless enhancements are lowered (e.g. Internal Resolution). Intro movie does not display, and must be skipped by pressing start (this issue is not present on 50Hz PAL). My optimal settings: Internal Resolution: 3x Native (2x or 1x Native for Splitscreen), Anisotropic Filtering: 16x, Fullscreen Resolution 2800x1800, DSP Emulator Engine: DSP LLE recompiler, Audio Backend: XAudio2. All other Dolphin settings are set to default. Note: If using DSP HLE emulation, music will stop working after first loop during race. The only way to fix this issue, is by restarting the Dolphin emulator. Using DSP LLE recompiler solves this issue. Using DSP LLE interpreter reduces framerate to 40~60 FPS and audio becomes choppy.
