Comments:

  • Setting EE Cyclerate to 3, will make audio stutter (Mainly in cutscenes).
  • There are some back face culling issues with playable characters. Setting the Clamping Mode to Extra for VUs, will fix this issue.
  • The MTVU hack causes slow downs mainly on cutscenes that have to be rendered. However it is recommended to keep the hack on since it improves performance drastically in-game.
