Comments: Works great, Only played the beginning, But, no crashes or anything, will report more as I find them. Only issues are ,of course, the minor graphical glitches in the subtitle text due to upscaling. Rather low on the scale of CPU demand. Hack comments:

  • EE CycleRate (3): noticeable speedup, setting it to 3 causes no issues.
