The game follows the protagonist, Jak, as he tries to help his friend, Daxter, after Daxter transforms into an ottsel (a fictional hybrid of otter and weasel). With the help of Samos the Sage, the pair learn that they must save their world from the antagonists Gol and Maia, who plan to flood it with Dark Eco. The game offers a large range of missions and minigames as well as puzzles and platform elements that the player must complete to proceed. | The game follows the protagonist, Jak, as he tries to help his friend, Daxter, after Daxter transforms into an ottsel (a fictional hybrid of otter and weasel).

|Comments=Completed about 3/4 of the game. Excellent emulation with a few tweaks. Run in OpenGL mode and make sure Blending Accuracy is set to at least Basic. This solves shadow issues. Set Mipmapping to Basic too, this will counteract some distant texture issues. A bug remains where distant water doesn't render correctly in hardware mode, it will have blocky textures, but this is barely noticeable and only an issue in the first area of the game. I used a no-interlacing patch for a clearer and sharper image (just google this). Even with interlacing disabled, the game is very blurry due to the way it renders. However this can be counteracted very well by enabling HW hacks and setting the texture offsets Y value to 300. The image won't be perfectly clear and sharp, but looks lovely. | |Comments=Completed about 3/4 of the game. Excellent emulation with a few tweaks.

|Comments=I finished the game with 98% - all Power Cells. The game is pure joy to play, and apart from the known minor graphical glitches, no real problems. However, I experienced some major crashes in on particular level (Precursor Basin, only there), but they for some reasons faded away and did not hinder me to collect all Power Cells. Responsiveness and controls are just perfect. Upscaled graphics are eye candy. | |Comments=I finished the game with 98% - all Power Cells.

|Description=There are misplaced shadows coming off of characters at certain angles, usually during cutscenes. You can also effectively turn shadows off in hardware mode by going to Config > Video > Plugin Settings > Advanced Settings and Hacks and then set Skipdraw Range to 1/1.

|Workaround=Issue has been fixed on 1.5 dev builds. Use OpenGL renderer and make sure Blending Accuracy is set to at least Basic level. For Direct3D11 as it lacks Blending you can enable Auto Flush hw hack but it will have a drastic hit on performance, otherwise switch to software rendering.
