BIOS: USA 1.60, FPS:~50-60, The use of dense fog in this game results in an uneven framerate (with frame skip disabled); Running fullscreen D3D10 mode, 2x native scaling with custom window size 1168x1022 on a 1080p TV. Dynamic vsync off. Interpolation #4, de-alias filter, Xaudio 2, latency 90ms, Timestretch w/ default settings. Disc is an ISO on HDD. Playing with Dualshock 3 using libUSB/sixaxis64. FMVs won't play normally with scaled resolution and HW rendering. In other words, hit F9 when movies start :). Sound is a little wobbly in FMVs in software mode, but not unlistenable. | Quaestor |

BIOS: USA 2.20, Works at full speed and with good scaling, but it has a issue with FMV videos, there is two ways to fix this, first, use native resolution, second, if you want to use scaling, when the FMVs starts change to software mode. | H3llRaiser |

FMVs are bugged in this game in HW Mode. See Known Issues on how to fix that. Other than that the game runs great. |

Known Issues
Bugged FMVs
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: FMVs don't play correctly when you play in GSdx HW Mode with anything higher than Native Res.
- Workaround: Apply Manual Gamefix: Switch to GSdx Software rendering when an FMV plays
GSdx Screenshots wrong size
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: When taking screenshots in PCSX2 using the F8 key, the image height is somehow cut in half, resulting in distorted images. This might be related to a very old bug where the NTSC version of the game would only show half the screen.
- Workaround: No known method for now. Use a different software to take screenshots instead, such as Fraps or Bandicam.
