Playable, but a bit on the slow side because of heavy image filtering., Native res is fast & looks good, but some filtering bugs (border halos) on higher res... | |

BIOS: US 01.70(25/03/2003), HACKS: INTC Spin Detection, Wait Loop Detection, Fast CDVD, mVU Flag Hack, MTVU, Anything higher than native resolution will cause lines to appear. Enabling Half Pixel Offset removed most of the issues although there is still a few small transparent lines on the right. The higher the resolution the worse the lines get. If your FPS starts to drop use EE 2 or VU 1-2. Enabling 8 bit textures helped me but it could be a fluke so try everything else first. A dual core might be able to run this game just fine if you use hacks. | CrazySteve88 |

Known Issues
Half pixel offset problems
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: Half pixel offset causes some weird shadow problems to creep in after a while, at least on rev 5423. PCSX2 says an "Impossible blend for D3D" occurred. Happens on DX9 and DX11. I also found I need to disable Alpha Correction (FBA) or else I get black backgrounds on some ghosts.
- Workaround: Do not use half pixel offset
