  • Also known as Jak x Daxter: Kyuusekai no Isan
  • The game sets to widescreen when it is prompted by the 16:9 ratio setting in the PS2 internal menu.
  • Widescreen crops the top and bottom of the 4:3 image, meaning less visible viewing area than when played in 4:3.


Known Issues

"Glitchy" eyes

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Jak, Daxter, and most other characters have "glitchy" eyes, aka a black hole where the eye is supposed to be.

Weird shadows

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Characters have weird shadows
  • Workaround: Alpha hack in GSdx or using VU Cycle Stealing 1 seems to fix this.

Weird colored characters
