In Project Zero II: Wii Edition experience the story of twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura, who find themselves trapped in the "Lost Village". With the Camera Obscura, a device that has the power to seal away ghosts and reveal past events, the pair must solve the mysteries of the ghost-ridden village to escape. As the story continues, more light is shed on the village's tragic past.

Problems

Ghost Photos Not Recognized

On the third mission of the Haunted House Mode, it seems like the photographs of the ghost are not recognized. There is no solution at this time.

Choppy Graphics in Black and White Scenes

There are choppy environment graphics on the black-and-white scenes (where Mayu has to go to Sae) and the G Storage Room in the Kurosawa House on Chapter 9. This can be fixed by disabling Scaled EFB Copies for the duration of the B&W scenes.

Wii Remote Sound

Sounds such as talking on the radio, the death cries of ghosts and some others are output only through the Wii Remote speaker. If you are using Wii Remote emulation, then turn on "Enable Speaker Data" in the controllers settings to output sounds to the computer speakers.

If you are using a real Wii Remote, then use Bluetooth Passthrough.

Blinking Costumes

Sometimes, the costume blinks while running when the "Original" or the "Summer Uniform" costume is being used.

Black Pictures in the Album

Album photos will be captured black with EFB Copies to Texture Only. Disable EFB Copies to Texture Only to correct them. EFB Copies to Texture Only is disabled by default since at least 5.0-10000.

Incorrect Image Displayed While Entering Viewfinder Mode or Any Menu

This occurs if you open the graphics panel during emulation. Either don’t do that, or uncheck “Store EFB Copies to Texture Only." EFB Copies to Texture Only is disabled by default since at least 5.0-10000.
