Game description: Take control of a fully armed prototype mechanized robot to fight off enemies during a space colony hijack. You become the character Leo Stenbuck, a soldier who sees the consequences of fighting firsthand and learns the true meaning of life and death. Conquer missions that change each time you play, or challenge a friend to a heated match. Zone of the Enders combines rich cityscapes and intricate canyons with futuristic weaponry and an intense storyline.
The player traverses across different areas of a space colony orbiting Jupiter to defeat rogue Orbital Frames, using the advanced Frame Jehuty. It is equipped with an energy sword, an energy projectile, and various sub-weapons. As the player progresses, Jehuty's arsenal grows and its abilities expand.
Zone of the Enders follows the endeavors of a boy named Leo Stenbuck, a colonist from the Jupiter colony Antilia under attack by BAHRAM. At the beginning of the game, he is captured and escapes when BAHRAM forces attack and his friends are killed by a falling LEV. He flees to a hangar, where he finds an Orbital Frame by the name of 'Jehuty' (derived from the Egyptian God Djehuti). Using this suit and its built-in AI ADA, he fends off BAHRAM, who seek to claim it on the orders of their enigmatic leader Nohman.

HACKS: Recommended speedhacks enabled. MTVU on. Automatic game fixes on. (compatibility is 5 in the game database in r5423), Set the Interlace mode to Auto in GSdx. MTVU helps! Also the game can run faster in software mode if you have a good CPU. The game is very heavy on resources. Hardware mode 50% CPU, software mode around 70% CPU. Good GPU is also a big plus.

Runs fullspeed with the GSdx settings I have used here, No visual bugs or glitches in this 1.5.0 dev build. I have tested the game from start to finish and the known issues that the wiki lists here, including the post processing bugs are all fixed with these GSdx settings that I am using, listed here. No need to switch to Software renderer at any part of the game.
