Game description: Based on a true story, Fatal Frame recounts Miku's investigation for her brother Mafuyu, who has been missing for two weeks. Her latest clue leads her to the abandoned Himuro mansion, a place that local townsfolk fear. Gifted with a supernatural sixth sense, you'll guide Miku as she explores the areas in the mansion where Mafuyu was last seen investigating the disappearance of three other people. Armed with only a camera, you must discover the connection between mysterious disappearances, restless spirits, and ritual sacrifices.

1.1.0 (r5628) | GSdx SSE41 (r5632) |

Playable with software mode only... Software rendering is needed: in hardware mode, the ghosts/enemy 3D models are not rendered (only their effects/light/fog are) and can't be killed... | |

Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz, BIOS: USA 2.00. Looks and plays perfect at 60 FPS, but in D3D11 Hardware Rendering mode is extremely difficult or even impossible to focus on Ghosts.
Bugs: •Can't focus on Ghosts while in Hardware Rendering mode - Work around: Switch to Software Rendering as soon as there's a ghost in sight and then revert back to Hardware mode for extra eye candy (just press "F9") •Some vertical lines in some sprites while in Hardware Rendering mode. - Work around: Switch to Software Rendering |

Runs at 60 FPS on both software and hardware rendering (1260x2688). It can be played in hardware mode if you switch to software mode sometimes (see below). | Werewolf |

1.3.0 (svn r5932) | GSdx |

BIOS: Europe v01.60(04/10/2001), Runs at 60 FPS (60 Hz) on both software and hardware rendering (1260x2688). It can be played in hardware mode if you switch to software mode sometimes (see below). Black lines on some textures and ghost faces when you use upscaling. To avoid that, use a resolution of 1260x••••. | |

ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO, 6GB DDR3-1333, BIOS: USA 2.30, It works but the camera issue is a real serious problem. None of the workarounds ever truly worked for me in Hardware Mode so I had to resort to just playing this game in Software Mode to completely avoid the problem entirely. This is honestly the recommended thing to do because there's just too many issues with the camera in Hardware Mode. If you use one workaround you will cause another issue like invisible ghosts, etc. | Ryudo |

1.5.0-dev-2650-g9fdb7f6cd | GSdx 1.1.0 SSE4 |

BIOS: USA 2.30. Very much playable. 60 FPS in hardware mode, except when fighting ghosts, where it would dip to 40 FPS. I switched to software mode during those parts to get back to 60 FPS. Some hidden ghosts also wouldn't get shot without switching to software mode first. The final boss fight still crashes if you enter Finder mode while facing away from the gate. | LilLymphocyteB |

1.6.0 Stable | GSdx SSE4.1/AVX 1.2.0 | SPU2-X 2.0.0 | Plays at 60fps even with widescreen hack, you need to check "Fast Texture Invalidation" and "Disable Safe Features" in order to see enemy ghosts. otherwise it just plays fine. | Zerel |
| PAL | Windows 10 |
|
1.7.2020 | Software | SPU2-X 2.0.0 | When played in Software mode, all of the issues aside from the final boss glitch appear resolved, The Final Boss glitch can be successfully bypassed by using the camera at the entrance. | ShadowtearX |

Nightly 1.7.2710 | Direct 3D 12 | SPU2-X 2.0.0 | Constant 50fps playing on Pal. Works well but in HW mode the camera is much darker and when you come to the parts on night 3 where you meet the Headless priests there are some ingame rendered scenes that are unwatchable as dark as it is. Id reccomend playing in Software mode if you dont mind the lower resolution | BluestopyGER |
