Slowdown in SW mode during tech/ether attacks and when multiple A.G.W.S are on screen, but fullspeed in HW renderers. GameDB applies appropriate fixes/hacks automatically so there is no need for adjusting settings. Transition screens (battle animation and opening the menu in the field) do not scale with resolution and remain at native res. | |||

|Description= | |Description=Software anti-aliasing (AA1) is not yet fully implemented in hardware, which is used for the triangle icons on the minimap. This is more obvious at native resolution. | ||
|Workaround=Use SW mode or a higher resolution multiplier. | |||

|Workaround= | |Workaround=Zoom the screen in using CTRL + "Numpad +". You can reverse this with CTRL + "Numpad -". Alternatively use cropping feature in 1.7 QT. | ||
