Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Perfect, Today I downloaded a patch for the aspect ratio for this game and it worked. The game runs at 1620p (3K) 60 FPS, no brakes, bugs or freezes. Back in the game, I set it to 60Hz so that the game was slightly raised and level. Chern40+7



Trivia

  • Original names: アローン・イン・ザ・ダーク4 ~新たなる悪夢~ (SLPM-65085)


Fixed Issues

Bad aspect ratio

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • 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.
