There is a patch to make the PAL version run at 30 FPS rather than its default 25 FPS. This makes gameplay smoother and matches the original JAP version's 30 FPS. Download the patch [http://www.2shared.com/file/KPGFPick/60VPS_Patch_kAs1m_.html here]. You may wish to back up your original .iso game image before applying the patch. | There is a patch to make the PAL version run at 30 FPS rather than its default 25 FPS.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a very sound-intensive game, so the most common emulation problems relate to sound stutter, choppy voices during cutscenes, and random crackles and pops in the music and in menus. The sound issues occur for most whether using XAudio2 or DSound. Using the LLE sound plugin can help for some users. Others using HLE usually need to disable Audio Throttle. | Xenoblade Chronicles is a very sound-intensive game, so the most common emulation problems relate to sound stutter, choppy voices during cutscenes, and random crackles and pops in the music and in menus.

The main factor for whether the sound will have issues is what build is being used. There are several special Dolphin builds made with hacks to fix the sound issues, as can be found in the official forum thread for the game. | The main factor for whether the sound will have issues is what build is being used.
