Known Issues
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Has garbage patterns in menus and most 2d screens. (Improved patch added to Gamedb reduces the severity of the issue--use latest dev build)
- Workaround: No known solution.
-
UI and menu corruption pre 1.7
-
Updated IPU patch 1.7
Broken post processing
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: When increasing internal resolution above 1x, post processing will become mis-aligned and fragmented. Bloom will separate into chunks and effects will never fully align. The most obnoxious example being the first encounter with Tenkai when he casts his illusion, none of the hardware hacks properly handle this.
- Workaround: Set CRC hack level to aggressive. It will remove most of the post processing entirely, including the area/door transition effect (unfortunately).
