|Comments=Played through about 1/4 of the campaign with no issues. There are quite a few native framerate drops throughout the game (the type that would also occur on a real PS2). Increasing EE Cyclerate right up to 300% helps counteract this somewhat. This will increase performance requirements but should be easily doable on a modern midrange CPU, as the game is very easy to emulate. As far as emulation performance goes, it ran full speed the whole time at 8x native res | |Comments=Played through about 1/4 of the campaign with no issues.
