He soon learns that his friend had been searching for three tablets, which are rumored to be the key to releasing an ancient evil.

Fixed Issues

Bad aspect ratio

Status: Fixed
Type: Minor
Description: Uneven black borders
Workaround: Set aspect ratio to 4:3 and zoom in to 120.00%,then go into the game option and screen adjustment and adjust the picture until it fits properly at the top and bottom of the screen. There are still going to be small borders on the sides but its nothing compared to what it was.
Alternatively: Use PCSX2 1.7 DEV BUILDS and add this .pnach file.
