Problems
Cannot push/pull blocks in certain situations
This only happens if you're using a keyboard to play the game. To fix it, hold down the Main Stick Modifier key while moving towards the block to get a prompt to push/pull it.
- The Main Stick Modifier key can be configured in the GCPad settings.
Double Image
When you finally get in-game, you'll see that the game shows double the image, which is most noticeable on characters and buildings. To fix this, you have to enable "Custom Projection Hack", which can be found by right-clicking the game in Dolphin, and clicking on "Properties". Check "Custom Projection Hack" and click on "Settings". Under "Presets" make sure it says "Tales of Symphonia GC".
- This only fixes the double image issue during normal gameplay. Depending on the camera angle, you might see the double image again during cutscenes.
Blips in Music /w HLE
If you use HLE to play the game, you´ll quickly notice that there are instruments missing in the music that plays. This is mostly fixed as of 3.0-809, but there are still some occasional blip noises.
This has been fixed with the new-ax-hle merge to master as of 3.5-1154.
Flanoir Penguin Feather Gloves
