Problems

Flickering

Constant flickering occurs without Virtual XFB. See issue 143. Some revision later removed the fix and the flickering is back. No XFB setting fixes it. See issue 9052.

Inexact Font

Due to differences in the font shipped with Dolphin from the real GameCube BIOS font, the text of some dialogs will look differently. To use the real font instead, extract font_ansi.bin from the real console and place it in the "Sys\GC" directory, or disable Skip GameCube BIOS in the Dolphin settings. Refer issue 8362.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
