Game description: Legends tell of a demon swordsman named Sparda, who awoke to justice and rebelled against the devil, waging a one-man support of the human world. Now, 2,000 years later, a dark figure named Dante--private investigator of the supernatural--finds clues that the devil is rallying to rise up again against mankind. By Dante's demon blood, you enter this dark realm of demonic marionettes, unearthly phantoms, grim reapers, and other retched souls. Transform to a demon state to inflict devastating attacks on enemies in this gothic battle of good against evil.

USA v02.00(14/06/2004), All recommended hacks except MTVU, Automatic Gamefixes, There are 2 instances where the game hangs after an FMV scene. Skipping these will solve the problem. Aside from the one mentioned above, there is a case of the "shaky" screen and a white "after-image". This can be fixed by enabling Interlacing-->Bob tff and HW Hacks-->Half-pixel Offset.
NTSC-U Windows
  • Intel Core i7 @ 3.4Ghz

1.1.0 r5480 GSdx 5442 SSE41
  • SPU2-X 2.0.0
  • LilyPad 0.11.0
Delay VIF1 stalls, Runs above full speed., IPU's are very buggy and can hang in an instant. Getting past intro screens to the menu and ingame is random. Sometimes it makes it, sometimes it doesn't Had to use a couple fixes to get past the warning screen.
NTSC-J Windows
  • Intel Core2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16Ghz
  • Nvidia GTS 250 512MB
1.1.0 r5517 GSdx 5464 SSE41
  • SPU2-X 2.0.0 5478
  • LilyPad 0.11.0 5403
Runs above full speed., Any rendering res > native results in a mini image double in the upper left corner. (see screenshot)

55-60 FPS most of the time just leave the settings to default and enable MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1) in speed hack tab, Just visit this thread for more info. Jinkazama2k7

  • LilyPad 0.11.0 r5403
Runs at a decent speed., Only way to run the game is to quickly press select after starting a new game to skip the Intro Video. Some other videos also seem to hang. Skip Mpeg hack doesn't work. May be I can patch it later.

Known Issues

Graphic Glitches

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: Some boxes appear at the top of the screen making progress difficult.
  • Workaround: Either use the Native option in GSdx r4600 or use an old version of GSdx like 0.1.14 or r890

Alternatively press SELECT, go to the options menu, and wait for 8 seconds before exiting.

Hangs at Intro/Menu (PAL)

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Serious
  • Affected Game Versions: PAL
  • Description: Long time on/off problem. The PAL version will hang at the end of the intro cutscene when Trish tells Dante about Mallet Island. The PAL version will freeze once again during a cutscene in the sewers when the final boss is defeated.
  • Workaround: Skip these cutscenes by pressing Start.
  • Appears to be fixed since r4758, SPU2-X 2.0.0 should be safe.
