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.

|Comments=Blocky water when viewed at a distance (only visible early in the game). Looks blurry when upscaled without HW hacks or a deinterlacing patch (I used the patch at https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes). Very occasional lag at the title screen and in some cutscenes e.g. the bombs exploding at the Mountain Pass, but gameplay ran at full speed at all times. Sound gets a bit choppy when there are loud sound effects (e.g. explosions), and there are crackling sounds when saving savestates, even if there is no sound when saving. Fully playable (I completed the game 100%).

|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=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.

|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. This solves the shadow bug without having to use the performance costly Auto Flush option.

|Description=Characters have weird shadows and odd colors.
|Workaround=Issue fixed as of September 9th, 2016 git builds. CRC hacks were added for Jak games. To enable it go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings, set the Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set the Blending Unit Accuracy to "Basic" or higher. For older versions use the Alpha hack in GSdx Configure Hacks menu or set VU Cycle Stealing to 1 in Config -> Emulation Settings -> Speedhacks tab.
|Workaround=Issue has been fixed on 1.5 dev builds. For older versions, 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. 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. This solves the shadow bug without having to use the performance costly Auto Flush option.
