=== Excessively Dark Rendering ===

Noticeable lines appear under Sonic and stay for the whole game. Disabling anti-aliasing fixes this.

=== Linear 16:9 support ===

*Tropical Resort, Act 1: If you jump at the right spot, the game will freeze.

*Terminal Velocity, Boss: After executing a chain of attacks on boss, Sonic will not always be able to boost into it for extra damage. Sonic will seldom be able to boost into it and is very inconsistent when it will work. You may disable the 60FPS patch for this particular stage. Boosting for extra damage is not required to beat that boss, but is needed if the player wishes to obtain an S rank.

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-421|OS=Windows 7|CPU=AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.825 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti|result=FPS varies between 20-30FPS, no matter what settings or plugin I use. "Skip EFB Access from CPU" seems to help. Guess I need a better processor. The game plays perfectly however.|tester=AgainstYourThought}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-458|OS=Mac OS X 10.7.4|CPU=Intel Core i7 @ 2.6 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M|result=Almost rock solid 30FPS, perfect on almost all menus, so much better than I could have dreamed for. For some reason, the only place that lags in the game is... map screen for Tropical Resort. For some reason there the emulator thinks it's running at full speed. Also for some reason loading times are drastically improved compared to the actual console experience. The boost effect glitch occurs if I use fullscreen. UPDATE: I replaced my computer with an identical model (older model developed issues)... and it does NOT work nearly as well as above. Very choppy and at times laggy. Odd and worrying to say the least.|tester=Ac}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-715|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-950 @ 4 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570|result=Rock solid 30FPS. It never drops at all and no glitches or anything. DX9, 4x Native, 16x AF, 0x AA, Skip EFB from CPU, Texture EFB Copy, Fast Texture Cache, OpenCL, OpenMP. Turning on AA destroys the performance.|tester=Zharay}}

(15FPS) DirectX11: Some graphical glitches, often lags. (20-30FPS), OpenGL: Works great and mostly fast, sometimes little lags (25-30FPS)(1920x1080)|tester=SlaSh (L.V.)}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5-607|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.9 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560m|result=Seems to lag with all graphics cores and settings. I can only get around 60-70% speed (and 21-25FPS). performance is even worse with LLE. Very odd indeed, seeing as other people have it working near perfect, at least on older dolphin releases.|tester=Vgf89}}

The game HUD does not appear without Custom projection hack marked zNear (Nothing typed in the box) MMU unmarked. 1x native resolution. Texture EFB copy. DirectX 9.|tester=Narvy}}

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-13424|OS=Windows 10|CPU=AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030|result=The game runs at 4k30fps fine, and at 1080p60fps fine at 165% clock speed fine. The game is fully beatable with no discernible issues, though I'd actually recommend playing in native resolution. The bloom is broken above internal resolution with scaled EFB copy on, as is the depth of field, and turning off scaled EFB copy makes the game present at 480p frame anyways.|tester=Luig}}

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-14519|OS=macOS 11.4|CPU=Apple M1 @ 3.2 GHz|GPU=Apple M1 7-Core|result=Near-perfect 30FPS (or 60FPS with patch) at 3x native resolution. Some stuttering seemingly at random, but otherwise no issues. Far better than my last attempt nearly a decade ago.|tester=Ac}}
