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 ===
Tiny Chao Garden now works in {{revision|5.0-14690}} or newer. Due to fixes internally, but Integrated and TCP GBA should work, however we recommend the Integrated GBA if possible as it allows for a deterministic, safe connection that is more reliable than using a separate GBA emulator. It is known that having a modified Emulated CPU Clock causes connectivity errors with GBA emulators in titles, so please make sure to turn that off <i>before</i> using GBA connectivity features.


== Problems ==
== Problems ==
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== 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.
Some text may not render unless "Safe Texture Cache" is used. This is most commonly seen in Chao World.
Setting the Texture Cache Accuracy to safe seems to be the fix.

=== Dual Core Mode Causes Crashes ===
If Dual Core mode is on, any options at all for Deterministic dual core still causes the emulator to crash hard, even to the point of waiting for windows to respond to the broken program instance.
 
=== Tiny Chao Garden ===
Connections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of "Tiny Chao Garden" does not work. Dolphin will not connect.


=== Audio Skipping ===
=== <s>Black Bar at Bottom of Screen</s> ===
Throughout the majority of the game, the music, sound effects, voice-overs, cutscenes, etc. will skip. This is caused by the game not running at full speed, and the emulator attempting to maintain the speed of the audio with the speed of the game, causing it to lapse in and out.
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.


=== Black Bar at Bottom of Screen ===
=== <s>Dual Core Crashes</s> ===
This is caused by the game running in 50Hz mode. Hold down B as emulation starts to get a prompt for 60Hz mode.
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}}.
}}}}


=== Random FPS Drops ===
== Enhancements ==
Some levels (notably City Escape) will sometimes seemingly out of the blue drop the framerate to about half of regular speed. The cause is unknown.
=== HD Textures ===
[https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=53561 Sonic Adventure 2 Battle HD GUI+]


=== <s>Graphics Issues</s> ===
=== Aspect Ratio Fix ===
During Kart races, the texture directly left, right, behind, and before the Kart is either static or lines. During King Boom Boo boss fight with Knuckles, when the King is underground, his shadow is invisible. In addition, static or lines may occur. The cause is unknown. Fixed in recent development builds.
When running NTSC version of ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'' (or PAL with 60Hz mode activated), the game displays slightly slimmer than it should be. Use this Action Replay code to correct aspect ratio. Can be used together with Widescreen codes.

=== <s>Meteor Herd Crash</s> ===
=== 16:9 Widescreen ===
Select the stage "Meteor Herd", and dig in the ground below the starting area. If done the game will crash. Fixed in recent development builds.
This Gecko code will correct UI stretching seen with the Widescreen Hack.

=== {{s}}Crash in Wild Canyon (2nd Hero level){{/s}} ===
{{Problems/Blurry Distant Textures}}
If framelimit is set to "auto", then the game will crash upon the player trying to float up using the wind tunnel in the middle of the level. Setting the framelimit to "60" solves the issue. Fixed sometime before {{revision|4.0-4647}}.
