* EE/IOP:
|Comments=With official GSDx32-plugin, the game is playable on Software-rendering mode. It is usually about 10–20 FPS slower than hardware-rendering (with 4 threads). With custom plugin, the game is playable on Hardware-rendering mode without bad graphical glitches, and yes, the custom plugin works on newer PCSX2-builds after putting SDL.dll to the emulator's root directory. Although the game is not graphically intensive, it is still much slower than other games with similar graphics quality, but runs at playable speeds. Some slowdowns can be expected. Settings: EE/IOP / VUI @ defaults. Speedhacks: EE=0 & VU=2, INTC, Idle loop, mVU & MTVU ON. Graphics: Interlacing=None, Custom resolution: 1920x1080, BF=Forced, Logarithmic Z=ON, 8-bit=ON, AC=ON.

|Comments=Game has serious performance issues. Software mode runs at ~30% speed even with 16 threads. Hardware mode cannot hold full speed; while sections do run at full speed, combat sees drops as low as 60-70% speed, even at native resolution. It appears to be a CPU bottleneck causing these issues. These issues occur with both the normal pcsx2.exe or the pcsx2-avx2 build. Performance is identical to 1.6.0. Playable, but slow.

|Description=FMVs may have constant sound-lagging.
|Description=In chapter 5, in the event cutscene called "The chronicles of Yore", Vincent is holding a Materia whose shining effect is rendered as black.
|Workaround=If you don't have a very modern CPU, you can make the the FMV-playback slower (between 40–50 FPS (Tested on PAL-version)) by lowering / increasing EE CycleRate or lowering VU Cycle Stealing. (As a side-effect, gameplay will slow down, though.) Strangely, that will remove lagging, at least the worst of it.
|Workaround=Switch to software mode by pressing F9.
