This game introduces the ability to exchange the tops and bottoms of special swappable figures for an exciting gameplay experience, and is the third installment in the Skylanders franchise.
Known Issues
- Title screen image and save game images do not appear (Version 1.25.2) - Fixable by disabling all graphics packs, which unfortunately causes RGB splitting and interferes with performance and visual quality
- Portal disconnects causing Skylanders to become stuck in the game (Version 1.25.2) Fixable by enabling "Portal Stability Fix" graphics pack (doesn't always work)
- Some portals are not compatible with Skylanders Swap Force in Cemu [1]
- NOTE: While this game is listed as playable, there are too many glitches and portal connection issues for it to be played as intended.
Configuration
- Portal Configuration: All Skylanders games in Cemu require the Skylanders portal to be set as a USB Input Device. Locate your portal and update the driver using device manager.
- Troubleshooting: If you cannot find your portal in device manager, install a program called Zadig, go to "Options," "List All Devices," and replace the standard HidUSB Driver with a WinUSB driver. Now locate your portal in the "Universal Serial Bus devices" section of device manager, right click it and hit "Update Driver," "Browse my computer for drivers," "Let me pick..." and finally scroll down and choose "USB Input Device."
- Note: Cemu IS NOT compatible with Xbox Portals.

Very consistent frame rate and gameplay, however switching your character becomes impossible after a few minutes because the portal stops responding to input.
