The quest in Sybak to collect the Pink Pearl Ring can crash. This has been observed to happen on real GameCubes and Wiis, and seems to happen when the quest is done at a time when the developers didn't anticipate, or if cheats were used to get various other items.

Turns out the developers messed up the curtains in the school house in one of the rooms. They appear on the back wall rotated out of the screen. You can even use freecam to see the rest of the missing ones. This happens on console as well.

Shadows cast on whatever is below them, even if they've already hit a solid object. This is a bug in the game and unrelated to Dolphin.

The game has some problems with fire effects in some areas with Dolphin's widescreen hack that can be solved with the following Gecko Code, and it needs a render fix. Textboxes and a small amount of text will be glitched up. Make sure to disable Dolphin's Widescreen Hack before using this Gecko code. This Widescreen Hack Keeps the HUD Unstretched.

=== 60Hz PAL (Germany) ===

This code only works with the German PAL release.

<pre>$60Hz

The game utilizes a blur technique as a "focus effect". During normal top-down gameplay, anything in the center of the screen is clear, but the edges are distorted and duplicated. If the camera angle moves down to the character's level, the effect becomes a distance blur. This is not a problem with Dolphin - this is an actual game effect that the developers intended and is present on console. But at the higher resolutions Dolphin is capable of it can be very annoying.

Used the recommended settings to avoid glitches, but for some reason the start menu disappears. Sound of cutscenes stutters at certain points.
