Be a good cop or a bad cop in the streetwise action game True Crime: New York City. You can explore the authentically modeled streets of New York City as a police officer tracking down criminals and administering justice. The game features a diverse weapon set, as well as a mixed offering of fighting styles that you can use to take out those who stand in your way. In addition to combat on foot, the game features driving sequences and shootouts. Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Walken, and Mickey Rourke contribute their voice talent to the game as well.
True Crime: New York City has a native 16:9 display option, but it requires enabling it in its internal options and setting Dolphin's Aspect Ratio graphics setting to "Force 16:9". Using the widescreen hack with this title is not recommended.
When completing "Bomb Disposal" side missions, the game will have severe audio issues and a loud stutter. This is correct emulation and happens on console. For more information on how the bug behaves and proof it happens on console refer issue 12627.
Near Old Broadway and 125th street, the game has a very high chance of locking up. This issue has been reproduced on console and is not an issue with Dolphin.
This game randomly hangs when entering interiors, especially when played on Nintendo Wiis. Due to other issues with the game, it is unknown if Dolphin behaves more like a GameCube or Wii with this issue.
This game can corrupt your memory card. Play with caution.
This game's framerate is erratic and extremely inconsistent, even on console. This can make driving extremely difficult, as at lower framerates the game will ignore or delay inputs. By increasing the emulated CPU clock, you can make the game more demanding but increase the framerate to the point of actually making driving reasonable.
Decals, shadows, textures and more flicker in this game. Specular lighting effects when indoors will also flicker similarly. This happens on console.
If you call a Taxi during the Intro mission, the game will softlock.
When driving Northbound on the State Highway, the highway will jitter and eventually sync far below the actual collision detection of the road. Turning your car or camera can result in wild collision detection issues and you can even get thrown out of bounds. You may also sink into the ground on other parts of the highway. This is also normal and happens on console.
When walking into any corner, you may get thrown out of bounds. This is normal and happens on console.
Patches of grass and other textures are completely missing, allowing you to see through the ground in points of Central Park. This is normal and happens on console.
In indoor areas, NPCs will constantly flicker and zip around, especially in tight spaces. For example, they will show an animation to sit in one chair and then appear in another. This is normal and occurs on console.
There is a chance that the directional controls won't work properly in the main menu. If this occurs, restart the game to make the problem go away.
In-engine cutscenes have a high-pitched sound (at around 6320 Hz). This happens on console. Pre-rendered cutscenes are not affected.
There are no reported problems with this title.
This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.

4.0-8183 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.8 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 | Tested across various revisions from 4.0 onward. The game is notoriously buggy on console, and Dolphin also suffers from these. It's not a fault of the emulator. | JMC47 |
