Game description: The Getaway: Black Monday offers more predictable driving and on-foot controls, new vehicles, a variety of mission types, and new characters. The story begins with events that take place two years after the demise of the most notorious crime boss of London's East End, Charlie Jolson. You'll take on the role of a cop, who sets out on a quest for revenge. By choosing which path to take, you must make critical decisions that influence the final outcome of the game.
Unlike other open-world action-adventure games of this time such as Grand Theft Auto Vice City and Driver III, this game features licensed vehicles from several brands to add to the realism. It follows 3 main protagonists: Sgt Ben "Mitch" Mitchell, Eddie O'Connor and Sam Thompson, each with their own unique abilities.

BIOS: USA v2.30, HACKS: none, This game is far more streamlined than the first Getaway game, and will usually have no problems holding up 50 FPS or more at 3x native resolution.

Use SuperVU and Blending Unit Accuracy to solve bugs described in the issue section. Playable in hardware mode with either the fog or a ghostly image visible. Game runs fairly smoothly on 3x native in hardware mode without speedhacks. Software mode is fine and doesn't have the fog or ghost images.

Known Issues
Characters being able to see you/shoot you through walls
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: Other characters being able to see you/shoot you through walls.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set both VU0 and VU1 to SuperVU.
Semi-transparent wall
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: A white semi-transparent wall appears in front of the character.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Video (Graphics Settings) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "High". A depth issue will now be visible causing a ghost image to appear at certain angles. Alternatively set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options to avoid both issues. For NTSC-U versions make sure CRC Hack Level is set to "Full" if the issue does appear.
Missing shadows in Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 12 Hardware renderers
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: The shadows are completely missing when setting Hardware renderer to Direct3D 11 or Direct3D 12.
- Workaround: Set Hardware renderer to "OpenGL", "Vulkan" or to Software renderer in Config > Graphics Settings. Also keep in mind that a white semi-transparent wall will appear in "OpenGL" or "Vulkan" renderers which can be fixed.
