inaccessible chao?

Post by FluffyCats »

i am currently playing sonic adventure 2 battle on a dolphin emulator. i started a new file, and when I started up my chao garden (a fresh new chao save file), there is only one egg in my garden. when i use the chao transporter, it shows that the 2nd chao is there, but it has a red X over it.
Spoiler:

i checked the chao classroom, and nobody is there.

where could that 2nd chao be? is it permanently stuck like that? :thinking:

edit2: nevermind i got the pictures to work

Given that Dolphin runs most stuff imperfectly (but really close) at this point in development this seems like a semi-major bug
(the game is playable and you can buy eggs, but not having two chao to start with is just plain incorrect emulation).

Normally that red X happens when a Chao is in Kindergarten classes, but if they haven't even hatched or have a egg for that matter, they shouldn't even appear in the Transporter.

Chances are they're stuck like that if all these inconsistencies are here. The only way I could see to get 2 starter eggs like you should, is to delete your chao file and try again, which might not work.

Very strange indeed. As another odd consequence, you are probably limited to 7 chao in the garden, since it seems the non-present chao will take a spot.
chaoadventures seems spot on in assessment.
Emulating Gamecube scares me, in part for reasons like this.

@chaoadventures- i have another chao garden file using dolphin and this problem never happened, so you're right about this being a semi-major bug. i guess i'll wipe my chao save.
@mamkute- i like having a lot of chao so having one hidden chao take up a spot in the garden will definitely be a nuisance for me :darkcry:
@darkybenji- i did use cheat codes before, but not on this file. i turn them off every time i play on this file

thank you all for your help, i appreciate it :herosway:
i will make a new file and i will post if this error happens again or if it is gone.

Interestingly, your phantom chao also seems to have had no eyes selected for it.
