* [[VU Cycle Stealing]]: Huge speedup, even the maximum setting seems to work fine

As always: try to avoid any combination of [[EE Sync Hack]] and [[VU Cycle Stealing]], most often it will lead to false fps readings and slowdowns instead of more speed. [[MicroVU]] seems to be neither needed nor faster for this game. Running the game as an ISO image directly from your hdd is also a good idea. If you have either Windows Vista or Windows7 use the "[[DirectX|DirectX10/11]] (Hardware)" renderer option in GSdx, it's usually faster and more compatible than the [[DirectX|DirectX9]] one. The [[VSync]] option in the settings of [[GSDX]] should be deactivated, use the [[Frame Limiter]] of PCSX2 to keep your game from running too fast. And last but not least: try the latest [[Public Beta]] of PCSX2 for more speed.

BTW, many reaction-based minigames are easier, if you set your [[Custom FPS Limit]] to a value of 30 or even lower, as the speed of the gameplay will be slowed down by that. On the other hand you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding by disabling the [[FPS Limit]] completely, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 [[FPS]].
