{{Issue
|IssueName=Slowdowns when monkeys are on screens
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Game can slow down when a monkey is visible on a screen inside the game. This includes when a monkey is located with the Monkey Radar and when the black-and-white movie is visible in the cinema room at the 4th level.
|Workaround=In ''Config'' > ''General Settings'' > ''GameFix'', enabling ''EE timing attack'' could reduce slowdowns. In addition, setting Cycle Skip to a mild underclock can help with stability. This is under System > Cycle Skip.
