'''''Mega Man Network Transmission''''', known in Japan as '''''Rockman EXE Transmission''''', is a video game developed by Arika and published by Capcom for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] video game console. The game was first released in Japan on March 6, 2003, North America the following June, and PAL regions the following July. ''Network Transmission'' is part of the Mega Man Battle Network series, which originated on the Game Boy Advance handheld game console.
In '''''Mega Man Network Transmission''''' (known in Japan as '''''Rockman EXE Transmission'''''), Mega Man and his Battle Network pal Lan are in trouble again. It's only been a month since the evil WWW terrorist's attempts to hijack an important military satellite was shut down; and yet, Cyberspace is about to be hit by an even more resilient, never-before-seen virus, codenamed "Zero." It's up to you, Lan, and Mega Man to terminate this seemingly impermeable and decidedly relentless new enemy. Collect battle chips, battle enemies, solve puzzles, and uncover secret characters from the ''Mega Man'' universe.

{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|


=== Graphical Inaccuracies ===
[[File:Mega_Man_Network_Transmission_Emulation.jpg|700px|]]


Using Direct3D9 or OpenGL for the graphics backend results in many graphical inaccuracies.
}}}}
In particular on Direct3D9, attack animations, spawn/death animations, barrier/aura animations and similar light based special effects are almost invisible. On OpenGL, these effects are simply poorly rendered with large squares.
This game should be played in Direct3D11 for the most accurate graphical output. If Direct3D11 is not an option then OpenGL is advised instead.


=== Backgrounds appear too vibrant ===
== Enhancements ==
If Fog is disabled in the graphics configuration, backgrounds may appear too vibrant.
=== 16:9 Widescreen Gecko Code ===
Make sure Fog is enabled.

=== Slow Opening Cutscene ===
=== 60Hz PAL ===
Using HLE audio backend results in the opening cutscene playing slowly. This is easily resolved by using [[DSP LLE]] instead.
In the PAL-Version the 60Hz mode cannot be activated at startup. Use this Gecko code to force the 60Hz mode.

Sound also has a problem in regards to volume. You see, bringing up the PET or pressing Z to use the custom gauge, lowers the volume of the bgm a bit. However, using HLE makes this volume decrease permanent until something triggers it to go back to normal. LLE recompiler and interpreter avoid this.

Use HLE emulation to get past the first cutscene. both LLE interpreter and recompiler hate cutscenes and slows them to a crawl. However, LLE Interpreter is the most accurate outside of cutscenes.|tester=G}}
