  • LilyPad r4484
BIOS: SCPH39001, HACKS: Works with all speedhacks., Works perfectly except for a flickering filter. The vehicle sections on levels 17 and 24 are nearly unplayable due to graphical artifacts covering the screen. Enabling MTVU causes a slowdown instead of a speed up. MyDreamName

Runs above full speed., Draw distance is bugged in gsdx hardware mode. Looks fine in software mode.

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), MTVU, INTC Spin Detection, Enable Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag Hack, Still Playable. Game works fine at a good speed. I believe in the later stages (some of) there is an overlay of corruption which can be solved with software mode or somewhat with skipdraw, but i can't remember the setting for that.
NTSC-U Windows 7
  • AMD FX 6300 @ 4.4Ghz
  • AMD Radeon HD 7870
1.3.0 GSdx
  • SPU-2-X
  • LilyPad
Game works very well. It's pretty demanding, but EE cycle rate hack will help. MTVU will cause slowdown in some areas, and is not recommended. A few levels require software mode, but most are fine in hardware. Blyss Sarania
