Emulation Information

Network Certificates Required

Just Dance 2 has functionalities that requires proper network certificates extracted from an IOS to work. Refer to the network guide for more information.

Problems

Corrupt Dancers

In some GPUs (mainly NVIDIA), dancers have vertical and horizontal lines across them. This is unrelated to corruption caused by setting "Texture Filtering" to "Force Linear", refer to issue 8780. Fixed in 5.0-15874 by enabling "Manual Texture Sampling" by default.

Corrupt dancers

Random Freeze

Just Dance 2 will randomly freeze when Dolphin has internet connectivity. There's no solution at the moment, but you can work around this problem by keeping your computer disconnected from the internet or by blocking all network access for Dolphin in your OS Firewall settings while playing the game. Refer to issue 11910. Fixed by 5.0-12952.

Enhancements

Texture Filtering

Playing Just Dance 2 with "Texture Filtering" set to "Force Linear" causes issues on videos and makes the dancers disappear. Keep it at "Default" to avoid those problems.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.
