Trivia
- Original names: ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ファントムブラッド (SLPS-25686)
Fixed Issues
Inaccurate fog blending
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Serious
- Description: Rather than gradually blend into the game's scenery as it would on actual hardware, the game's fog appears as a partially-transparent solid color similar to a curtain. The effect of this issue upon gameplay depends upon how far the fog is from the camera in each stage; the tenth stage in particular is heavily affected.
- Workaround: Fixed in emulator version 1.7.0. For older versions, set Blending Accuracy to at least High.
Known Issues
Issue with bloom on high resolutions
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: When running the game in a higher resolution than native, the bloom filter in the game becomes misaligned.
- Workaround: Enter the GS plugin's settings and enable Manual Hardware Renderer Fixes, then set both the X and Y values of Texture Offsets to 200 plus 50 times the level of enhancement (e.g. 300 for 2x, 350 for 3x).
