INTC Spin detection, Wait Loop Detection, Fast CDVD, mVU flag hack, EE Cyclerate 1; GSDX: Alpha Hack, Skipdraw 2. Full screen graphical glitch, edit your inis/GSDX.ini add in allowhacks=1 at the end. Now go to GSDX options and enable Alpha Hack, and set Skipdraw to 2. Don't enable scaling until you reach the main menu, it causes the opening SCEE credits to run at ~15fps.
