Game description: Taz has reached his boiling point in Taz: Wanted--and for good reason. Yosemite Sam locked Taz in a zoo and wants to turn his homeland into a tacky theme park. Now, as an escapee, Taz is on the run gobbling power-ups, using disguises, and leaving a wake of destruction across four hazard-filled worlds in an attempt to stop Sam. Guide Taz as he spins and bounces his way through more than 15 levels of puzzles, enemies, and destructible environments.

Known Issues

60 fps gameplay

• Type: Not an issue
• Description: The game natively supports 60 fps gameplay, but it won't always be capable of reaching that level of performance to sustain it.
• Workaround: Raise the EE Cycle Rate to 300%. This will give the emulated PS2 enough virtual juice to run the game at locked 60 fps, and the game doesn't mind at all.

Dithering pattern discrepancy

• Type: Not an issue
• Description: When comparing software rendering to hardware rendering, one will notice that the dithering pattern doesn't match up between the two. This is, in fact, a blending effect.
• Workaround: The game requires the blending accuracy to be cranked up to "Maximum" in order to emulate the dithering pattern properly. If upscaling, make sure the Dithering option is set to "Scaled" otherwise it still won't match up.
