X-Men Legends is an action role-playing game released on several consoles in 2004. Players can play as one of 15 X-Men characters, switching between four computer (or human) controlled characters within one team. The basic plot revolves around the X-Men battling Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Problems

Video Stuttering

Intro videos will stutter with default settings. Setting Texture Cache Accuracy to Medium or Safe resolves the issue.

In-Game Crash Error

In post version 5.0 build(s) of Dolphin the game leads to a GameCube error screen after only 8-9 minutes. Apparently resolved prior to 5.0-6092.

Enhancements

5.0-6092	Windows 10	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060	Needs Texture Cache Accuracy: Medium to fix pre-rendered video stuttering. Otherwise, the game works fine at full speed with default settings. I was able to play past where Free Emulator's video crashed and up to meeting Professor X (about an hour in) without any problems.
