0.9.8 | GSDX r4600 |
|
BIOS: USA v2.00, HACKS: Hacks: INTC, Wait Idle Loop, mVU Flag Hack, Allow 8-bit Textures (GSdx). Using EE/VU cycle speedhacks increase the speed but reduce the smoothness, not recommended. Reducing clamps cause more issues, not recommended. After GSdx r4600 the game is much slower, recommended to use GSdx r4600 max. FPS: 40-60/60. Can get 60/60FPS using the cycle rate speedhacks. | Machina |

Still playable., Software mode is needed to avoid black lines (same problem as SC2) and dull colors in rendering (wrong filtering maybe?, but hacks don't seem to fix it). | |

The game runs fine without many issues on my end, even with the sprite alignment. I just have CRC set to Patial, Blending to default, NTSC BIOS v2.00, 8-Bit Textures enabled, and safe features disabled in my machine. I do, however get facial glitches, and sometimes even get a blue screen with hud in Training. | Neigdoig |
