Test configurations on Windows:

Environment			Configurations			Comments	Tester
Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
NTSC-U	Windows 7 64-Bit	Intel i7 @ 3.4Ghz Sapphire R9 290X 4GB	1.2.1 r5873	GSdx 10 (Software)0.1.16 r5875	SPU2-X r5875 Lillypad 0.11.0 r5875	Games initial menus worked fine in Hardware mode, once I picked a game to play (Aplha 2w) it would not render. Switch to software mode and it works flawlessly. Not rendering probably due to the fact the games are not ports but emulations. Bios v 2.0 was used.	Zrooney
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 Ghz GTX 1650 Super @ 4 GB	1.7.0-dev-1526	Built-in (AVX2) (SW)	Built-in	Games run fine, without any graphical glitches or slowdowns noted in SW mode. In HW mode, games experience lots of graphical glitches and slowdowns, so stay with SW for this one. Also, HDD functionality works as expected.	Maxdlpee
NTSC-J	Windows 10	Ryzen 5 3600X @ 3.6GHz GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB	1.7.2420	Built-in (AVX2) (HW)	Built-in	Games initial menus worked fine in Hardware mode, HDD installing works fine once formatted. Games have graphical glitches on any upscaling mode other than the native res. Bios v 2.0 was used.	Gameboi64
NTSC-J	Windows 11	Ryzen 5 5600x @ 3.7Ghz Radeon RX 580	1.7.4100	Software	Built-in	Software rendering with 0 extra rendering threads. Works smoothly.	Slateman
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Ryzen 5700G @ 3.8Ghz RTX 3060 Ti 8GB	1.7.5004	Vulkan (default)	Default	Set rendering resolution to at least 3x (1080p) for even pixel scaling of graphics/sprites.	Zentester

Trivia

• Original names: ストリートファイターゼロ ファイターズ ジェネレーション (SLPM-66409) & (SLPM-66854)
• Also known as Street Fighter Zero: Fighters Generation (JP)
• Access the Progressive Scan menu by holding the cross and triangle keys together when the game boots up.

Known Issues

Extreme Lag, Distorted in-game graphics

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Major
• Description: Games underperform to an extreme degree, even on high end hardware due to extreme amounts of texture uploads and draws.
• Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.

This has been fixed. Emulated games now correctly render with the HW Vulkan renderer, as of latest nightly builds - 1.7.5004 tested. No configuration changes required.

UPDATE 7/24/24: This issue has (partially) resurfaced. Tested build 1.7.5886 and had no issues. The next version I had to test was 1.7.5928 and it had some distorted sprites at any rendering resolution above 1x. 2.0.x stable does as well. The game still runs smoothly, however.

Uneven pixel rendering in-game sprites/graphics

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: At native resolution, the game renders graphics with uneven pixels, even with integer scaling enabled.
• Workaround: No known workaround. Check the PCSX2 Discord for more information.

Set the Rendering resolution to at least 3x (1080p) for correct pixels. This only worked for specific nightly builds (like 1.7.5886).

If you are using v1.7.5928 or newer (including 2.x, last tested 2.1.5), you cannot set rendering resolution above 1x or you get distorted graphics. This means you are stuck with uneven pixels (which is likely accurate to the original release, but was fixable in previous versions up to 1.7.5886.)
