0.9.9 r5037 GSDX r5065
  • SPU2-X r5025
  • Lilypad r4959
Playable @ 40fps/50 outside combat, VU Cycle Stealing slows it down. Evolution
NTSC-U Windows 7 x64
  • AMD Phenom x2 II 555 @ 3.20Ghz
  • ATI Radeon HD 6738 @ 850Mhz/1050Mhz Clock/Mem

  • SPU2-X 2.0.0
  • XPad 0.2.0
Preset 2 + MTVU

EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing ineffective. The more ACs (not MTs) fight on screen the lower the frame rate.

  • HW (3xIR DX11): 40-60 fps
  • SW: 45-60 fps



Known Issues

Vertical lines

  • Type: Note (not an issue)
  • Description: Vertical lines of varying color in some text and menus at resolutions higher than native, most notable in the assembly menu when observing parts.
  • Workaround: At Internal resolutions of 2x, 4x, and 6x a TC Offset of X: 0337, Y: 0201 will clear up most. (MSAA makes it nearly impossible to fix)

The gallery

GSDX Settings

  • Interlacing: Bob ttf seems to work the best.
  • Internal Resolution Sticking to doubles prevents shaking/offset glitches.
