However, it is not a problem on software mode, which can be easily run by any modern CPU. Software mode also produces another graphic error on the top left corner of the screen. However, this does not get in front of lyrics and is very minor. The "rappin' bad" effect is missing on both hardware and software mode and the same effect is also missing from the intro movie sequence.  On earlier version than r4600, 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).
