|Description=On hardware mode, objects sometimes get in the way of lyrics. This is a problem on three out of eight levels.
|Description=On hardware mode, objects sometimes get in the way of lyrics.
|Workaround=It is not a problem on software mode, which can be easily run by any modern CPU. Software mode also produces another graphical error on the top left corner of the screen. However, this does not get in front of lyrics and is very minor. Another workaround is to use hardware OpenGL and enable hardware depth, but it can cause the same graphical error as the one mentioned before.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" or any of the "(Software)" options. A different issue will appear in the top left corner of the screen. However, this is a very minor issue that does not get in front of the lyrics.

|Description=The "rappin' bad" effect is missing on both hardware and software mode and the same effect is also missing from the intro movie sequence.
|Description=The "rappin' bad" effect is not shown.
|Workaround=On PCSX2 version 0.9.7 and below, aggressive EE cyclerate hacks (50%) must be enabled to get through the intro menu sequence. On these versions, although, any level past level 1 is not playable due to freezes on scenechanges ("Cool" mode not confirmed because while in "Cool", the level only remains in one scene).
|Workaround=There's no known solution.
