*'''Alternative Workaround''':Keep Clamping Mode on the VUs tab set to the default "Normal" and set Clamping Mode on the EE/IOP tab to "None". This won't look as good as the other workaround (SPS will still occur but it will fade away by itself in a few seconds) but it will increase the framerate. | |||

*'''Alternative Workaround''':Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and either: Use set the Internal Resolution to "Native", or set it to "Custom" and the Custom Resolution to 1260x(any value). You can subtract any multiple of 60 from 1260 (eg, 1200, 1140, 1080, etc) as needed for performance, but no horizontal resolution greater than 1260 works. Vertical resolution has no effect on the black bars, so you can set this to any value you desire. | |||
