*''Restore defaults'': Click this to restore all settings to their default values (which actually disables all hacks in this tab).

==Game fixes==

As the name implies, these are special game fixes for some games which for some reason emulating them requires something special. Note that the team has no intention of keeping hacks for specific games, these are there temporarily until a proper fix is found so they can be removed. Many of these are automatically applied when ''Automatic Gamefixes'' is checked under System.

<br />

*''VU Add hack'': This hack is also needed because the PS2 doesn't follow the ''IEEE standard'' on floats. Enable it only for '''Star Ocean 3''','''Valkyrie Profile 2''' and '''Radiata Stories'''.

*''VU Clip Flag Hack'': This hack is only needed when ''superVU'' is selected as recompiler under ''VU'' in Emulation Settings. Needed for '''Persona games'''.

*''FPU Compare Hack'': This hack is needed because of the limited range of floating point numbers defined by the ''IEEE standard'' that the PS2 doesn't follow. Enable it only for '''Digimon Rumble Arena 2'''.

*''FPU Multiply Hack'': Needed for '''Tales of Destiny'''.

*''FPU Negative Div Hack'': Needed for '''Gundam''' games, fixes the camera view.

*''VU XGkick Hack'': Adds more delay to ''VU XGkick'' instructions. Needed for '''Erementar Gerad'''.

*''FFX videos fix'': Makes ''GIF'' flush before doing ''IOU'' work. Fixes gray overlay garbage in the videos of '''Final Fantasy X'''.

*''EE timing Hack'': Multi purpose hack. Known to help: '''Digital Devil Saga''', '''SSX''', '''Resident Evil: Dead Aim'''.

*''Skip MPEG Hack'': Use this to skip freezing intro videos to avoid hanging

*''OPH flag Hack'': Needed for '''Bleach Blade Battler''', '''Growlancer' II and III''' and '''Wizardry'''

*''Ignore DMAC writes when it's busy'': Needed for '''Mana Khemia - Alchemists of Al-Revis" and '''Metal Saga'''.

*''Simulate VIF1 FIF read ahead'': As the description says, can help games which load slow.

*''Delay VIF1 stalls (VIF1 FIFO)'': Fixes '''Socom - US Navy Seals 2''' HUD.

*''Ignore Bus Direction on Path 3 Transfer'': Fixes '''Hotwheels'''.

*''Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays'': With this checked, ''GSdx'' will automatically switch to a software renderer when it detects a video playing and back to hardware when it's done. More of a convenience setting than a hack, it is very useful considering the number of games that have issues with videos on hardware renderers of GSdx.
