BIOS: USA v2.00, Needs a powerful machine to play right. The cutscenes are the biggest problem.

•Setting the SPU2-X Synchronizing Mode to "Async" may speed up the cutscenes but can cause stutter and out of sync problems in game., •Doesn't respond well to big resolutions.

The game still has the same glitches that were present in 0.9.8. I would recommend switching to hardware mode for the cut scenes for the up-scaling benefits, but switching to software mode for the game play. Bios v 2.0 was used. Zrooney

Known Issues

No post-processing

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Post-processing is disabled in GSdx by default. Enabling post-processing in this game causes huge slowdowns. Certain places can look overbright.
  • Workaround: Software mode (F9) in GSdx plays the game correctly. However, it runs much slower and looks uglier.
