Test configuration on Windows:

Graphics by GSDX: 1611
Sound by SPU2-X: 1.2.0
Pad plugin is LilyPad: 0.10.0
DVD plugin is Linuz ISO CDVD: 0.8.0
BIOS version: Europe v01.60

Comments:

  • With the lastest beta version r1736 the emulator will crash on switching to new locations, use r710 to load instead.
  • Do not use r710 to play as it tends to freeze in some situations
  • After saving to memcard NEVER load from old states (F3), consider all quick states invalid you can only save them anew!
  • Sometimes the world can stuck preventing from performing any action (cannot change a weapon, enemies will not move and cannot be killed). You have to save often (F1) and change quick slots often (F2) as the only way to resolve this is to load.
  • There are some minor GFX glitches in GSDX as of r1611. Sun shines through the walls, some trees look bad the skies can be broken from time to time.
