|Comments=Works very well with most issues fixed with the following settings: Renderer: OpenGL, Interlace Mode: Bob Tff, Texture Filtering=Bilinear (Forced excluding Sprites), Manual hacks: Skipdraw=15 to disable low-res depth of field in cutscenes (use alongside "Lost Forest Fix cheat file" (see Additional patches)), enable Align Sprite, set Half-Pixel Offset to Normal. | |Comments=Works very well with most issues fixed with the following settings: Renderer: OpenGL, Interlace Mode: Bob Tff, Texture Filtering=Bilinear (Forced excluding Sprites), Manual hacks: Skipdraw=15 to disable low-res depth of field in cutscenes (use alongside "Lost Forest Fix cheat file" (see Additional patches)), enable Align Sprite, set Half-Pixel Offset to Normal. | ||

* There is a widescreen patch for the game, but the NTSC-U version was removed from the archive in the git build 1.5.0-dev-1090 due to the fact that it causes various freezes in the game. Most notable was if you try to enter 'Sound Settings' while the patch is enabled, it will instantly freeze PCSX2 entirely. The same happens when trying to enter the Change Attack screen, or even fighting the final boss. This is most likely caused by the built-in anticheat system of VP2. | * There is a widescreen patch for the game, but the NTSC-U version was removed from the archive in the git build 1.5.0-dev-1090 due to the fact that it causes various freezes in the game.
