MTVU: Noticeable speedup. Only played the beginning. Only issues are of course the minor graphical glitches in the subtitle text due to upscaling. Rather low on the scale of CPU demand.

Works great, played through the whole game, only lag during major effects, mostly water and giant magic effects (during Boss Battles, Cutscenes, Summons) But, only had one major crash with Chernabog (giant black devil in The End of the World) repeatedly, but other then that nothing major. Also, rather low on the scale of CPU demand. Bot2345

Known Issues

Visual artifacts in subtitles

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: When upscaling black lines appear through the subtitles
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and set the TC offset X to "525", and TC offset Y to "0".

Intro logos/textures change size or show thin lines

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: The beginning logos can change scale or have thin lines during up-scaling signifying the texture is either overlapping or is "tiling".
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and for 2x native set the TC offset X and Y to "100". This value requires tweaking for other Internal Resolution settings.

Flashing floor glitch

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: There are sometimes visual artifacts in the ground in-game when you set an internal resolution other than native.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Graphics Settings, set Internal Resolution to "Native (PS2)".
