=== Requires Bounding Box ===
A large portion of this game requires bounding box emulation. Without bounding box emulation, there will be graphical errors, crashes, and other issues throughout the game. It is not recommended to ever disable bounding box emulation while playing this game; Dolphin will enable it by default.

=== Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards ===
=== Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards ===
NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during bounding box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11. They get dramatically slower as the internal resolutions increase, even though comparable AMD graphics cards suffer no slowdown at all. This is due to Dolphin hitting a slow path on those graphics cards. It is recommended that supported NVIDIA users use {{D3D12}} or OpenGL backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that.

=== Glitched Transitions ===
=== <s>Glitched Transitions</s> ===
Most transition effects will show only garbage. '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' prevents this, and is set by default for this title.
