Fixed Issues

Bottom section of screen gets cut off when using Hardware Rendering.

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • Description: Upscaling the video output from the native PS2 resolution to any other resolution causes the bottom section of the screen (about 1/6th) to get cut off and is replaced with a black bar instead.
  • Workaround: (23/9/21) Going to Config > Graphics Settings and unchecking "Conservative Buffer Allocation" under "Hardware Renderer Settings" will fix this issue.

Game freezes during gameplay.

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • Description: The game will not work properly since it will randomly crash.
  • Workaround: This patch makes the game playable.

Graphic corruption.

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • Description: (Hardware Render) Graphical artifacts on the right quarter/third of the screen.
  • Workaround:
  1. As of November 2017 on the latest v1.5.0 development builds this issue can be fixed with enabling the "Frame Buffer Conversion" Hardware hack.
  2. For older versions use Direct3D with Partial CRC Hack Level.
