Emulation Information

Controller Map Overlap

NASCAR The Game: Inside Line is capable of using both GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes. If a physical controller is set to emulate both a GameCube Controller and a Wii Remote concurrently, it will operate both devices at the same time. To fix, migrate controls to use separate physical controllers.

Invalid Reads/Game Crashes

This game has bugs leading to game crashes. If an AI driver or player driver invalidly enters pit lane while at max damage, the game can crash. If MMU Emulation is off, instead of crashing the game will throw "Invalid Read Errors" instead.

This bug has been verified to happen on Wii and is not a flaw in Dolphin.

Extremely Demanding

This game is extremely difficult to run full-speed on the default settings. This is because Dolphin does not have accurate GPU timings; the game actually runs closer to 20 FPS on a Wii in traffic. The game **will** attempt to run at 60 FPS even on console, but the lack of GPU timings in Dolphin makes it so it's always attempting to run at 60 FPS.. By turning on SyncGPU (or using Single Core) and setting the emulated GPU clock down, you can get closer to the real GPU timings, making it much easier to run full speed.

Missing Textures

Some cars are missing textures. This is not a bug in Dolphin but a bug in the game.
