PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond (ポケパーク2 ＢＷ ビヨンド・ザ・ワールド, Poké Park 2: BW - Beyond the World) is a Pokémon game for Wii, and the sequel to PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure. It features Pokémon species from all 5 generations.

Problems

Hang/Crash after playing Cofagrigus' Attraction

After playing the attraction and seeing the score, the game may crash/hang. This issue can be fixed by using the JIT recompiler.

Hang/Crash upon changing areas

With the sole exception of Wish Park, attempting to move to a different area (such as from Cove town to Seasong Beach) will cause the game to either hang or Dolphin will crash, depending on settings (JIT/JITIL).

Hang in Tutorial

After you break the box by dashing, and continue on to some steps, Piplup will say hurry up, and then leave. The game will continue running, but nothing will happen, and control inputs will not work except for the home button. This issue can be fixed by using the JITIL experimental recompiler.

Hang/Crash after Cofagrigus' cutscene

After playing Cofagrigus' attraction, a cutscene will play. At the end of this cutscene, the game will hang at the loading screen. There is currently no way known to get around this problem, but setting Texcache Accuracy to "Safe" may help. This is resolved in 3.0-776.

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
3.0-235	Windows 7 x86	AMD Phenom II X4 970	AMD Radeon HD 6870	Crashes on start up "ERROR: Compiling at 0. LR=800163e0 CTR=00000000"	Lucario
3.0-362	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-720QM	nVidia GeForce GT 310M	Crashes starting the game after selecting a save file with multiple errors relating to writing on certain addresses.
^3.0-204	Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2	Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz	nVidia GeForce 9400M	Crashed at the first video event. I managed to tweak Dolphin and preventing it from crashing by modifying some settings, but I get a black screen with no audio output.	LeoTh3o
^3.0-204	Mac OS X Lion 10.6.6	Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz	nVidia GeForce 9400M	Crashed at the first video event. I managed to tweak Dolphin and preventing it from crashing by modifying some settings, but I get a black screen with no audio output. Please notice that I tested on more versions updating as they are released through git trunk, but I don't see where the code version is.	LeoTh3o
3.0-438	Windows 7 x64			Plays at full speed with 30 FPS, no crashes or any bugs (I think It works in x64 and x32 with no problem). Use Default settings.	Mega Mike
3.0-441	Windows 7 x86	AMD Athlon @ 2.23GHz	ATI Mobility Radon HD 4200	With JITIL, no issues until Cofagrigus' Attraction, where it crashes after playing the attraction. Changing to JIT allows for continuation to the cutscene after the attraction, but then crashes at the loading screen right afterwards. Also, with a completed game save, moving from Cove Town to any other area causes a crash/hang, depending on settings.	Nerketur
3.0-486	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-920	ATI Radeon HD 5870	Works fine except the audio in cutscenes.	P1neapple
3.0-496	Windows 7 x86	Intel Core 2 Duo e8600 @ 3.6GHz	ATI Radeon HD 4850	Using JITIL recompiler, no random crashes experienced. Able to continue playing after Cofagrigus' Attraction and the cutscene after the attraction. Overall flawless so far from creating a new save, to recruiting Oshawott. Audio in cutscenes has issues with DSP HLE.	RupeeClock
3.0-688	Windows 7 x86	Intel Core i7-3930k @ 4.4GHz	AMD Radeon HD 7970	Worked flawlessly except for sound on cutscenes. When I got to second poster world I got random crashes and sound glitches. made crashing a lot less frequent by setting XFB on Real, EFB on RAM, Texture cache on Safe and turned off Read-only mode under emulation. Was unable to fix sound glitches but it is playable.	crazett
3.0-713	Linux Ubuntu 12.04 x86-64	AMD Athlon X2 @ 3.2GHz	nVidia GeForce GTS 450	The game starts, but when I load a save, there is sound and a black screen...	RyDroid
