Game description: Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga follows Serf and his four companions as they set out for Nirvana, a land that can only be reached by the champions of Junkyard. A mysterious object awakens demonic powers within the group, allowing each member to transform into a deadly beast. As one of these characters, you can devour your enemies and absorb their powers and special abilities. Defeat opposing tribes by protecting yourself from enemy attacks, deflecting their blows, and performing linked attacks.
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga is a turn-based RPG in which the player controls a group of warriors known as the Embryon and attempts to take control of the Junkyard. Little is known as to why they fight and where they came from. All that is known however is that the one tribe to defeat all the others will earn the right to ascend to Nirvana. It is the first part in a two-part narrative, which is completed in its direct sequel, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2.

A minor shadow glitch, slow downs in some areas but mostly playable. PCSX2 1.2.1 in software mode will render shadows correctly.

Fully playable from beginning to end at 3x native resolution with no slowdown. The shadow glitch is fixed in the OpenGL renderer. Has minor visual glitches when rendered above native resolution like random lines through HUD elements and geometry.

Battles run more smoothly by turning MTVU off. DX3D11 HW has the shadow glitch but otherwise works. EE cyclerate = 1, VU cycle stealing = 0.

Fixed Issues
Shadows overlapping
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Some shadows overlap with the character's feet.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Lack of information In the mini map
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: The symbol of doors doesn't appear In the mini map.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Non-Issues
Blur around some objects when upscaling
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: In Hardware mode when using upscaling resolution some objects have blur around them.
- Workaround: This is a matter of personal preference rather than an issue. If you wish to eliminate this, go to the per-game graphics settings, check 'Manual Hardware Renderer Fixes' under the 'Rendering' tab, and check 'Disable Depth Conversion' under the 'Hardware Fixes' tab (in older versions, this is called 'Disable Depth Emulation'). Note: this will cause to "Shadows overlapping" even if you set set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)"
