PC specs used to test the game:
CPU: | Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 (3.6GHz) |
GPU: | Geforce 9600GT |
Comments:
- 60/60FPS using progressive mode (hold Triangle and Cross or Triangle and Circle when booting the game) even without speedhacks but it is less smooth in this mode.
- 45-60/60 in normal mode with only recommended hacks and Allow 8-bit Textures.
Known Issues:
SPS (Spikey Polygon Syndrome)
Sometimes while playingm parts of the characters's body look like falling off or going across the screen.
- Solution: Set the VU clamping mode to "Extra".
Respawn Issues
Sometimes after a character falls from the arena and respawns it's facing the wrong way or the camera is stuck someplace else.
- Solution: Set the VU clamping mode to "Extra".
Thin vertical lines
Using high resolution in GSdx brings some thin lines over the screen.
- Solution: Needs specific custom resolutions like 1260x1260, 1200x1200, 1020x1020 or "Native" res. In older GSdx versions it was 1270x1270 and others
- Don't use HW AA, it will cause the problem even in "Native" resolution.
Darkness in some stages
Some stages are darker than normal in GSdx hardware mode.
- Solution: skipdraw=2 in hardware mode or software mode (F9) in GSdx helps with this but some stages will not show shadows where they should.
