Emulation Information
16:9
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.
Bomb Disposal Audio Glitches
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.
Random Hangs
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.
Save Corruption
This game can corrupt your memory card. Play with caution.
Erratic Framerate
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.
Flickering Graphics
Decals, Shadows, Textures and more flicker in this game. This happens on console.
Taxi Softlock
If you call a Taxi during the Intro mission, the game will softlock.
Problems
Crashing
This game will crash on the tutorial mission. This occurs when coming into contact with objects or dropping from the ladder near the end of the tutorial. The game can also crash inside other buildings in the game when objects are hit with a melee. See issue 7230. The only way to work-around this is to adjust the Emulated CPU Clockrate currently. 70% - 80% seems perfectly stable in extended testing sessions.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
4.0-8183 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.8GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 | Tested across various revisions from 4.0 onward. Using an Emulated CPU Clockrate of 76% seems to make it perfectly stable. The game is notoriously buggy on console, and Dolphin also suffers from these. It's not a fault of the emulator. | JMC47 |
