<pre>16:9 Aspect Ratio (Widescreen) [Ralf]
As of {{revision|5.0-845}}, Pikmin 2 suffers from intermittent crashing with default settings, either immediately at startup or delayed until the middle of gameplay. Checking "Enable MMU" in the game's properties solves this issue. See {{issue|9899}}. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-2079}}.

When using DSP HLE, sound effects are distorted and the volume is extremely high. Use [[DSP LLE]] to fix these. Should be fixed with {{revision|4.0-7286}}.

=== 60 FPS ===
Pikmin 2 normally runs at 30 FPS but can render at 60 with the following Action Replay code. 60 FPS rendering breaks cut-scenes, so the effect can be adjusted via the d-pad.

Full speed 99.5% of the time, and always during gameplay (game 100% completed, including Challenge Mode). Amazing! Only minor stuttering during scene changes. Emulation is darn near perfect.

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-1331|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650|result=Some problems with this game have cropped up since my last test. First of all the game is very prone to crashing to desktop with default settings; this can be fixed by checking "Enable MMU" in the game's properties. Secondly, notes can disappear from the background music using HLE if there's many simultaneous sounds at once, using LLE seems to solve this. Lastly there are texturing problems on text in menus, and the sky in the background of the end of day screens; nothing I tried fixed this, but it's pretty minor. All in all, with these settings enabled and everything else default, the game holds the exact same performance it did before, with the same slowdown in Perplexing Pool.|tester=Xerxes}}
