Game description: A new evil has invaded Crash Bandicoot's island paradise with plans of destruction. In a strange twist, Crash reluctantly pairs with his archenemy, Dr. Neo Cortex, in order to save the world. Now, through this unorthodox partnership, you can take control of Crash as he uses Cortex as his favorite weapon. Play as any one of four characters as you encounter reactive enemies, wild environments, and a wacky cast of new characters.
Crash Bandicoot teams up with his nemesis, Dr. Neo Cortex, to defeat a new threat - the Evil Twins!

1.0.0 | GSdx Alpha hack |

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Recommended,MTVU, GSdx Alpha hack, Working good, some shadow bug creates an annoying effect. Alpha hack fixes some other small issue, Shadow bugs, working fine in GSdx SW mode | |

1.0.0 (r5350) | GSdx r5350 |
|
BIOS: USA V1.60 (03/19/2002), Enable EE Timing, Skip MPEG, and OPH Flag hacks to make the game start up. The game has visual artifacts but some aren't too distracting., The game runs fairly slow (related to most other games) with dual core, and speed hacks MUST be deactivated during boss fights and Rooftop Rampage for the game to proceed. While usinf GSdx, setting skipdraw (in HW Hacks) to 3 and activating Alpha hack speeds up and fixes almost all graphical artifacts. | DarkenMoon97 |

Trivia
- Original names: クラッシュ・バンディクー え〜っ クラッシュとコルテックスの野望? (SLPM-65801)
- Also known as Crash Bandicoot 5: Crash & Cortex no Yabou (JP), Crash Bandicoot 5: Eeee Crash to Cortex no Yabou?!?
Fixed issues
Line appears where Level of Detail boundary is
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: A line is drawn at the normally invisible boundary where world elements pop in and out of the view. The game is normally supposed to draw a very soft and unnoticeable transparent layer to gently blur out distant world geometry. A previous bug fix prevents this effect from jamming up the screen with blocks of color, but still leaves behind the line on the boundary.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Black horizontal stripes
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Black translucent horizontal stripes are visible on the screen in the hardware, especially noticeable against the skybox.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Messed up polygons on character models
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: Every character model is partially garbled.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
