BIOS: USA 2.30, Without the “VU I bit Hack avoid constant recompilation (Crash Team Racing)” gamefix the game has severe graphical issues and is unplayable. The framerate is a consistent 60 fps without any stuttering. I also tested on higher resolutions, also with no framerate/stuttering issues. There is a weird repeating filter over the screen and on some textures, this is especially noticeable with higher resolutions. I do not know if this behavior is intended, or a bug. Unsure if I should rate this as playable or perfect.


Fixed Issues

No visible menu, broken graphics in-game.

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: The menu is invisible, but still usable. if you manage to start a race the game graphics are almost completely broken, with only some polygons close to the screen visible-
  • Workaround: This issue has been fixed as of v1.7.0-dev-90-gdacbe78f3. This can be fixed by setting VU clamping to None.
