Use "skip MPEG hack" gamefix to pass Wanadoo logo. Set GSDX interlacing to "Weave bff". Don't use EE cyclerate and Vu cycle stealing hacks., 52-60 FPS most of the time. There are places where it is 45-50, but it is rare. | Dhillel |

I played most of the game with this version because FPS were a little bit bigger but the recommended version is 1.5.0, see the issues below to understand why. This configuration works for both 1.2.1 and 1.5.0 - Bios 2.30, directX 9 (hardware), allow 8 bit textures enabled, native resolution, interlacing set to auto to reduce the flickering, texture filtering enabled for better graphics, logarithimic z must be enabled to be able to see the light effect over the numbers in the memory card's screen. It's slow but playable. Speedhacks: Both EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing must be set on 1 because otherwise the audio/video of the cutscenes will be out of sync (even so they will run slow). INTC spin detection, wait loop detection and mVU flag hacks must be enabled. Sound interpolation = Catmull-Rom PS2. | Felipe |
