Sonic and company are back and better than ever in '''''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'''''. Dr. Eggman is causing trouble once again, and it's up to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to stop him. Experience faster action, all-new two-player games, and a branching storyline that lets you choose to save the world as the Hero side, or conquer it as the Dark side. In the single-player mode, you'll go through more than 30 unique stages, which include a forgotten pyramid, an abandoned military base, and a giant space station. And then there's the expanded two-player mode, which features 12 playable characters competing in new head-to-head games.

== Emulation Information ==
=== Tiny Chao Garden ===
Connections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of "Tiny Chao Garden" does work as of the VBA-Link updates. In order to get a connection, sometimes the GBA Link has to be turned off as it's attempting to connect. There may be slow framerates as well.  Getting the chao back in can be problematic, but has worked at least once.

=== Dual Core Crashes ===
When using Dual Core mode ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'' can be sensitive to emulation lag, which can result in various side effects including instability and crashes with certain stages (most cart racing stages are affected). Disabling '''Enable Dual Core''' will greatly increase stability.  Refer {{issue|7143}}.
=== Text Missing ===
=== Text Missing ===
Random letters and numbers missing, most noticeably in Chao World but occasionally in subtitles. The cause is unknown, and occurs even with a real GC BIOS.

Setting the Texture Cache Accuracy to safe seems to be the fix.

=== Tiny Chao Garden ===
=== <s>Black Bar at Bottom of Screen</s> ===
Connections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of "Tiny Chao Garden" does work as of the VBA-Link updates. In order to get a connection, sometimes the GBA Link has to be turned off as it's attempting to connect. There may be slow framerates as well. Getting the chao back in can be problematic, but has worked at least once.
This is caused by the game running in 50Hz mode. Hold down B as emulation starts to get a prompt for 60Hz mode, or use RealXFB to fix 50 Hz mode. Fixed prior to {{revision|5.0-8482}}, likely with Hybrid XFB.

When using Dual Core mode ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'' can be sensitive to emulation lag, which can result in various side effects including instability and crashes with certain stages (most cart racing stages are affected). Disabling "Enable Dual Core" will greatly increase stability. Refer {{issue|7143}}, {{issue|10776}}. Single Core is now used by default for this title as of {{revision|5.0-6188}}.

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-6152|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060|result=Really needs Dual Core disabled. Crashes in many places (Meteor Herd and the Tails driving stage as two examples) and text flickering in menus both occur consistently with Dual Core on. With Dual Core off, it's very playable, able to complete the whole game at full speed. Texture Cache Accuracy: Medium is enforced by default by Dolphin, but this doesn't quite fix the white text on black background in cutscenes, and there seem to be new one pixel thin line bugs that occasionally occur accompanying the text. Other than that, there's some weird stretching of shadows in cutscenes as well, but this occurs pretty infrequently.|tester=Xerxes}}
