== Problems ==
== Problems ==
=== HLE DSP Inaccuracy ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
When using the High Level DSP (HLE), High Hat Cymbals appear to "strobe" in volume levels. Refer {{Issue|8750}}.
=== Illegible Text ===
 
Text is not legible. This can be corrected by enabling Safe Texture Cache. Refer {{issue|10705}}.
=== Flickering Lights ===
When the camera pans the ground strobes around Pokémon and trainers. Refer {{Issue|8753}}.
 
=== Texture Not Loaded on Attacks ===
This is rare and appears to be random, but sometimes attacks will create white squares instead of loading textures. This can be avoided by unchecking Store EFB Copies to Texture Only.

=== Hexagon Brothers' Colors ===
After their introductory cutscene, the Hexagon Brothers lose their color and become all black. This is only a graphical glitch and they still function correctly.

=== GCN-GBA Connectivity ===
=== GCN-GBA Connectivity ===
In stable releases of VBA-M, the GCN-GBA connectivity does not work properly, causing severe slow-downs to the point where both games timeout before an emulated connection can be established. Although unstable and barely functional for Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the recommended releases of VBA-M to use the GCN-GBA emulated hook-up are the [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/files/Win32-Wx WXVBAM versions]. You may need to import the battery save that matches the game running in VBA-M while the GBA BIOS is active for Dolphin to establish the link properly. The save type for the compatible GBA Pokémon games are ''Flash 128K'' if automatic save detection does not work.

=== Delayed Sound with OpenAL ===
When using OpenAL sound, it can take upwards of 30 seconds for the audio to play. Changing the latency has no effect but does cause lag at lower values. This can be fixed by changing to DSound or XAudio2, at which point the audio plays immediately.


=== Crash: Greevil's Henchman and Zook ===
=== Crash: Greevil's Henchman and Zook ===
When the battle between Mr. Verich's (Greevil) henchman and Zook starts the game crashes. This can be resolved by enabling "Synchronize GPU thread".

=== {{s}}Illegible Text{{/s}} ===
=== <s>Delayed Sound with OpenAL</s> ===
Text is not legible. This can be corrected by enabling Safe Texture Cache, which is currently forced by the games ini. Refer {{Issue|8146}}.
When using OpenAL sound, it can take upwards of 30 seconds for the audio to play. Changing the latency has no effect but does cause lag at lower values. This can be fixed by changing to Cubeb, WASAPI or XAudio2, at which point the audio plays immediately. Cubeb is now used by default.
