Increasing the zoom to 102.60% hides the bars. Some lag in cutscenes that show Yorda in a cage (only happened three times, twice towards the beginning of the game and once at the ending), otherwise full speed. Intro FMV has a glitchy border in hardware mode, but not in software mode. Fully playable.

Game description: Solve the puzzles or join the tormented souls forever. You play Ico, a boy ostracized and entombed for being born with horns, as he solves a variety of puzzles to escape from a dangerous castle. Ico can leap over precipices and battle shadow wraiths and ethereal creatures with a swing of his walking staff. With the help of his friend Yorda, Ico encounters many mysteries in his quest, but one daunting question always remains: Is there ever a way out of this strange place?
Ico weaves the tale of a young boy trying to escape his imprisonment in a large, vacant castle. Along the way, he discovers another captive--a beautiful princess named Yorda. Players control Ico with the goal of escaping the castle with the princess safely in hand.

Lighting is misaligned when upscaling if you don't set half pixel offset to normal (vertex), but this causes glitchy bars to appear in the top and right edges of the screen. Increasing the zoom to 102.60% hides the bars. Some lag in cutscenes that show Yorda in a cage (only happened three times, twice towards the beginning of the game and once at the ending), otherwise full speed. Intro FMV has a glitchy border in hardware mode, but not in software mode. Fully playable. PandoraGTX

Issues

Laggy cutscenes

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Lag in cutscenes showing Yorda in a cage (only happens three times in the game, twice towards the beginning and once at the ending)
  • Workaround: Unknown

Glitchy border around intro FMV

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: In hardware mode, there is a border around the intro FMV showing glitched graphics.
  • Workaround: Enable "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays" under Manual Gamefixes, or switch to software renderer with F9.

Fixed Issues

Misaligned Lighting Effects When Upscaling

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Lighting effects misaligned in Hardware mode.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video > Plugin Settings and lower your resolution to no more than 2x OR enable HW Hacks > Half Pixel Offset > Normal(Vertex). In 1.6.0, this causes thin bars to appear at the top and right sides of the screen. Set zoom to 102.60% to hide the bars.

Elongated Shadows

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Shadows extend from the character itself.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video > Plugin Settings and set Anisotropic Filtering to off.

Mipmapping issues in Hardware Mode

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: In Hardware mode, the lack of mipmapping means some lighting effects, mostly the god rays near windows, are missing.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set mipmapping to "Basic". This only partially enables these effects. For a full solution switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Game hangs.

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: It hangs on the first cutscene and later on too.
  • Workaround: Fix is enabled by default as long as System > Automatic Gamefixes is turned on. To manually enable the fix go to Config > Emulation Settings, EE/IOP tab, and set Clamping Mode to "Extra + Preserve Sign".

Camera Gets Stuck.

  • Type: Note (not an issue)
  • Description: Camera gets stuck behind some wall in some places.
  • Workaround: Fix is enabled by default as long as System > Automatic Gamefixes is turned on. To manually enable the fix go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set Clamping Mode to Normal(Default), or make sure Preset is set to "Balanced"(3) or lower.
