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.
