Comments:

  • See issues section below
  • EE CycleRate (2): noticeable speedup, setting it to 3 causes problems in FMVs
  • INTC Sync Hack: small if any speedup, no issues
  • Idle Loop Fast Forward: noticeable speedup, no issues
  • VU Cycle Stealing: noticeable speedup, but have issues if set higher than 1 (slight)
  • MTVU: Noticeable speedup in quads, or Tri core
  • Interlacing Mode: Bob tff

The game is extremely GPU intensive, If having low FPS, try running in native resolution mode, scaling also creates tiling in the GUI and purple haze around GUI objects. DX10 mode fixes some UI problems such as the map and the levels introduction text.


Test configuration on Linux:

PCSX2 version: 1736
Graphics by ZZogl: 182
Sound by SPU2-X: untested

Comments: There is color dithering in menu (triangle button) in city, it's caused by No Target Resolving. But without NTR city persons become ugly. Hack comments: No Target Resolving should be on

PC specs used to test the game:

CPU: Phenom II x4 965 BE @3.9ghz
GPU: MSI 560 ti Hawk
