And then there's the expanded two-player mode, which features 12 playable characters competing in new head-to-head games. Contents.Emulation Information Tiny Chao GardenConnections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of 'Tiny Chao Garden' does work as of the VBA-Link updates.
Here's the link to the guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=. Jun 27, 2015 So, seeing as we both adore Sonic Adventure 2, we decided that we should record this game! We went into the Battle Mode of this game, we held some Action Races, some Treasure Hunts, some Shooting.
In order to get a connection, sometimes the GBA Link has to be turned off as it's attempting to connect. There may be slow framerates as well. Getting the chao back in can be problematic, but has worked at least once.Problems Text MissingRandom letters and numbers missing, most noticeably in Chao World but occasionally in subtitles. The cause is unknown, and occurs even with a real GC BIOS.Setting the Texture Cache Accuracy to safe seems to be the fix. Black Bar at Bottom of ScreenThis is caused by the game running in 50Hz mode. Hold down B as emulation starts to get a prompt for 60Hz mode, or use RealXFB to fix 50 Hz mode. Fixed prior to, likely with Hybrid XFB.Dual Core CrashesWhen using Dual Core mode Sonic Adventure 2: Battle can be sensitive to emulation lag, which can result in various side effects including instability and crashes with certain stages (most cart racing stages are affected).
Disabling 'Enable Dual Core' will greatly increase stability. Single Core is now used by default for this title as of.Enhancements Blurry Distant TexturesSince, textures in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle will appear blurry in the distance at internal resolutions above native, due to false positives in Arbitrary Mipmap Detection. Since, this setting can be disabled to work around the issue. However, if any 'mip trick' effects are used by the game, they will not work correctly.In prior versions, the only workaround is to enable GPU Texture Decoding. Compatibility can be assumed to align with the indicated revisions.
However, compatibility may extend to prior revisions or compatibility gaps may exist within ranges indicated as compatible due to limited testing. Please update as appropriate.

Once you have downloaded the sa2-battle-network.7z file, extract it to the now created ' mods' folder in the root of the Sonic Adventure 2 directory. This ' mods' folder houses all of the mods you will use.Now open up the Mod Manager, if it is already open then click on the Refresh button on the left. You should now see the Network mod appear in the list.Click on the Checkmark beside the Mod and then click on save at the bottom. Do not click Save & Play as the mod will not properly work without the following steps. Now open up Hamachi and press the Power button.Once you have Hamachi turned ON, you can then either create a room or join one. To create a room, go to Network Create a new network.From here you will be asked to give the room a name (Network ID) and add a password.
I have filled it out as seen in the image below.From here, if you want others to join, simply provide them the Network ID and the Password. If you're joining someone else's room, you'd wanna get this info from them.Once someone has joined your room, you should see their name under the room name, if there is no problems they should have a green circle by their name as seen below.Now that you have a stable connection to your partner, now it's time to move on to configuring SA2 to connect to them. Locate the sonic2app.exe within the root of the Sonic Adventure 2 folder, then create a shortcut of it.From here, i'd recommend renaming it to something else so it's easily identifiable.
I renamed mine to ' Sa2 Network'.Open up the properties of the shortcut you just created, in the Target textbox we need to add additional information in order to either host or connect to our partner.If you're hosting, add at the end of it: ' -h 27015'If you're connecting, add at the end of it: ' -c address:27015'e.g: -c 127.0.0.1:27015If you're wondering where you can get the address of your partner, simply go to hamachi, right click their name and click on ' Copy IPv4 address'.Now to test if the mod is working correctly. Run the game using the shortcut you just created ( Important!) and navigate to the 2 Player Battle menu.
Once on it, the music should be different from the. It should instead sound like.
If you cannot hear this then something has gone wrong.There are additional Command Line Arguments you can add to spice up the game.
