Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3: Difference between revisions

|gameinfo          = Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 delivers an extreme 3D fighting experience, improving upon last year's game with over 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting techniques, beautifully refined effects and shading techniques, making each character's effects more realistic, and over 20 battle stages. This is the ultimate chapter in Budokai Tenkaichi series with over 20 new characters that have never been seen in any other DBZ video games such as Nail, King Cold and King Vegeta and battle stages that fans will love.

|Comments=Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Recommended,MTVU, Works great. Miseru99's trainer adds wide screen support and better aura effects: [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Sparking-Budokai-Tenkaichi-3-trainer-editor here], Missing aura effects in HW mode, use SW mode or miseru99's modified GSdx

|Comments=*SPEEDHACKS:Preset lvl2,miseru99 CRC speedhack

*PERFORMANCE:30 to 40 FPS without the CRC speedhack. Runs at a stable 60 FPS all the time with the CRC speedhack enabled, even when there's a lot going on in the screen. However, for some reasons the longer you play, the lower the FPS becomes. Starting from 60 stable to 55 then 50 then 45... but this is probably a problem of my computer. I'm pretty sure you won't have this issue at all. Also worth mentioning is that having the CRC speedhack enabled will remove shading from characters. I say that this is a double cut blade, because while it's true that it makes some characters textures look funny, it also doubles the speed and makes Super Saiyan hair look more like how it should be.

*OVERALL:I say medium demanding, but it requires a good CPU to run at a constant 60 FPS without enabling the CRC speedhack. If it wouldn't have been for that, I would've said this game is heavy demanding.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.30, Works good but needs a pretty powerful computer. CPU demanding. Graphical artifacts occur on the background areas while flying high in the air.

* Using a custom resolution to fix FPS dropping while powering-up and during energy animations. 720p and 1080p are OK.

* Gameplay is smooth (50 FPS, no high drop and no freezes), characters textures are beautiful, sound OK.  

|Description=During some parts of the intro (for example, when the screen fades to white after the dragonballs hit the ground) the picture may flicker/flash repeatedly.

|Workaround=There's two ways to fix it in Hardware. One is to use the '''Half-Pixel Offset: Normal (Vertex)''' option, but it tends to break ''a lot'' of things. Alternatively, use '''Half-Pixel Offset: Special (Texture)''' along with '''Texture Offsets''' of 300/500 in the per-game settings.

* If you include a '''Skipdraw''' value of 3,3 you will additionally be able to remove a single filter effect that causes ghosting near the middle portion of the screen for extra clarity.  

|Description=Occasionally, the player becomes invisible during short range attacks.
