I should note that under properties->patches-> it should be disabled. Having it enabled causes anomalies in the models and other instabilities.

Sounds like you have a bad dump. Check the hash and compare it to redump and gameTDB.

The Wiki says nothing because there's nothing to say. This game works just fine. So as MaJoR said the issue probably comes from the dump.

This gives us no real information except the way you probably got your file

What are the differences between NTSC and PAL versions ? What are the differences ? (Some games have different unlockables/soundtracks for every different region like Sonic CD !)

Having an issue with getting a functioning Backend graphics driver working for this game.  Please let me know how you can help.  Running Dolphin 5.0-11530.

OpenGL
Press Start at the start screen, and screen goes black.  You can hear sound but you can't interact with anything.

Direct3D 11/12
Missing a lot of menu graphics, like the start indicator, the save/load menu, etc.  Makes it extremely difficult to get gameplay going as you're navigating menus blind.

Vulkan
When you get to the character select screen, as soon as the highlight reel video starts to play in the stats window, the screen and game lock up.


I did find a workaround - if you can get past the menus in D3D and into the game, and save your state, you can then stop the emulation, switch the Backend to OpenGL, load the state, and proceed normally.

Just an update, still unable to get a functioning Backend graphics driver working for this game. Running Dolphin 5.0-11608. Please let me know if you can help (or if I should post elsewhere)

OpenGL
Ran fine the first time after the initial update to the latest beta, then it went the same as before:
Press Start at the start screen, and screen goes black. You can hear sound but you can't interact with anything.

Direct3D 11
No change.

Direct3D 12
Got worse.

Vulkan
