* '''MSAA''' -- is used to specify [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisample_anti-aliasing multisample anti-aliasing] mode for hardware renderers. This may dramatically improve the quality of visuals but requires some additional processing power from your video card. You can set this to '''2''','''4''','''8''' or '''16'''. The plugin will automatically choose and use only the supported mode. | * '''MSAA''' -- is used to specify [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisample_anti-aliasing multisample anti-aliasing] mode for hardware renderers.

* '''Alpha''' -- | * '''Skipdraw''' -- Skips drawing ''n'' surfaces completely. Use it to get rid of bad post-processing effects. | ||
* '''Half-pixel Offset''' -- | * '''Alpha''' -- Can fix shadow issues. | ||
* '''Sprite''' -- | * '''Half-pixel Offset''' -- Can fix misaligned fog, bloom, or blend effects. | ||
* '''WildArmsOffset''' -- | * '''Sprite''' -- Gets rid of black inner lines in sprites. Half option is recommended. | ||
* '''Aggressive-CRC''' -- | * '''WildArmsOffset''' -- Lowers GS precision to avoid gaps in pixels when upscaling. | ||
* '''Alpha Stencil''' -- | * '''Aggressive-CRC''' -- Can remove effects to make image clearer. | ||
* '''NVIDIA Hack''' -- | * '''Alpha Stencil''' -- Improves shadows which are normally overdrawn in parts. This setting will disable partial transparency or prevent drawing some elements altogether. | ||
* '''Disable CRC''' -- | * '''NVIDIA Hack''' -- Fixes odd stretching issues in recent NVIDIA drivers when upscaling (using DirectX 11). Try not to use this unless your game Videos or 2D screens are stretching outside the frame. | ||
* '''TC Offset X/Y''' -- | * '''Disable CRC''' -- For testing only! Disable all CRC hacks and will not work in many games. | ||
* '''TC Offset X/Y''' -- Can fix texture issues and bad post-processing alignment. | |||

**Note that if you simply wish to capture audio (e.g. you like a particular level's music) and you don't want to mess with the plugin or emulator - or you simply prefer a more general solution - you can use [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] to record while the emulator is running - simply configure it to accept audio input from "stereo mix". By the way, if you are running Windows and do not see "stereo mix" in the list of available sources please google for several available solutions (it is a known issue with certain soundcard/motherboard models). Or you could try [http://www.abyssmedia.com/isound7/ this] instead. | **Note that if you simply wish to capture audio (e.g. you like a particular level's music) and you don't want to mess with the plugin or emulator - or you simply prefer a more general solution - you can use [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] to record while the emulator is running - simply configure it to accept audio input from "stereo mix".
