BIOS: Europe v2.00, Goes ingame with GSDX11 HW mode, but has very bad visual glitches with the bloom effects and severe slowdowns. Runs fine in GSDX11 Software mode with 4 threads and aa1 enabled. Speedhacks used: INTC Spin detection, Wait Loop Detection, Fast CDVD, mVU flag hack, VU Cycle Stealing:1., Very demanding graphically, Relatively CPU heavy | 178.167.246.121 |

Game works alright (a bit slow) in Gsdx Software mode., Menus are absent in Gsdx HW mode. Also once ingame HW mode seems to be suffering from massive memory leak and almost hangs my pc. Use Gsdx software mode as most of the textures are missing with HW mode anyway. |
