Use "skip MPEG hack" gamefix to pass Wanadoo logo. Set GSDX interlacing to "Weave bff". Don't use EE cyclerate and Vu cycle stealing hacks., 52-60 FPS most of the time. There are places where it is 45-50, but it is rare. | Dhillel |

I played most of the game with this version because FPS were a little bit bigger but the recommended version is 1.5.0, see the issues below to understand why. This configuration works for both 1.2.1 and 1.5.0 - Bios 2.30, directX 9 (hardware), allow 8 bit textures enabled, native resolution, interlacing set to auto to reduce the flickering, texture filtering enabled for better graphics, logarithimic z must be enabled to be able to see the light effect over the numbers in the memory card's screen. It's slow but playable. Speedhacks: Both EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing must be set on 1 because otherwise the audio/video of the cutscenes will be out of sync (even so they will run slow). INTC spin detection, wait loop detection and mVU flag hacks must be enabled. Sound interpolation = Catmull-Rom PS2. | Felipe |

Known Issues
Intro screen/cutscenes may blink and flash
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: The screen flickers during the game intro/cutscenes.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes > select "Enable manual game fixes" and enable "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays". Another way to fix this is pressing F9 to change to software mode and then press F9 back to hardware mode, after this the video runs normally. Some cutscenes freeze if you play with versions older than 1.5.0 2779, check the text below.
Cutscenes stop into a black/white screen
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Serious
- Description: Some cutscenes freeze and you can't keep playing. Changing to software mode doesn't solve the issue.
- Workaround: Confirmed as fixed in the 1.5.0 2779 build (The last version with support for DirectX9).
