|Comments=Completed about 1/4 of the game. Runs very well. Use OpenGL to prevent some light effects being visible through solid geometry. There are thin white lines around HUD elements if you play above native res, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about that, but it's easily ignored. Loading times (and saving times) are ridiculous, but can be sped through by disabling the framelimiter. I love it when emulation tricks make games better! | |Comments=Completed about 1/4 of the game.
