Game description: Ratchet and Clank team up to save the world from the evil Drek: the leader of a dead planet who drains resources all over the universe. As you progress from one alien planet to the next, you'll find or purchase over 36 weapons and gadgets including: a wrench, bomb glove, grappling hook, cannon, machine gun and a rocket launcher. Think about it: you can choose from burning, bombing, exploding or obliterating your enemies. So go ahead and blow it all up!

PAL	?	Intel Core i5-2500K @ stock settings MSI GeForce GTX 470 Hawk @ 758 MHz (core)	0.9.8 (r4600)	GSdx 0.1.16 (r4643)	SPU2-X 1.4.0 (r4600m) LilyPad 0.10.0 (r4510)	BIOS: scph70004, • Fully playable aside from garbage textures and models at a small distance. • The weird colored models can be fixed by setting GSdx to software mode, the FPS will suffer a huge hit. • Can be slightly GPU heavy at parts where a lot is on-screen.	Lagahan
NTSC-U	Windows	Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 @ 2 GB	1.0.0	GSdx	SPU2-X ?	USA v01.60(07/02/2002), Besides the graphical bugs mentioned below, everything appears to be working fine. FPS hovered around 60 FPS.	oxguy3
PAL	Windows	Intel Core i7 @ 3.80 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1368 MB	1.1.0	GSdx	SPU2-X ?	Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Still Playable. Game works fine at a good speed. Requires Software Mode to fix the graphics (Mipmapping), the game can be quite slow. I achieved pretty much constant full speed by putting VU Cycle Stealing to 1 and 4 Extra Rendering Threads for Software Mode (this game seems to like them a bit more than normal).	refraction
?	?	Intel Core i7-3770K @ 4.50 GHz AMD Radeon R9 290X	1.2.1	GSdx (1.2.1)	SPU2-X (1.2.1)	If using Hardware Mode: Will caused garbled textures. Use Software Mode. Some textures will appear fuzzy at distance but is fully playable.	OmegaNull
NTSC-U	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-460M @ 2.53 GHz ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650	1.3.0	GSdx	SPU2-X	Ran at playable speeds with lag when there are a lot of on screen elements.	Clank
NTSC-U	Windows 8.1	AMD A8 6600K @ 4.4 GHz AMD Sapphire R9 270X	1.3.0	GSdx	SPU2-X	BIOS: USA v2.2, Ran great, I found it better with EE cyclerate set to 1 (Notice done in Software mode).	Apihl1000
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-3520M @ 2.90 GHz AMD Radeon HD 7570M	1.4.0	GSdx		BIOS: Europe v1.6, Sometimes the distant textures bugs or the game is slowed (10-15 FPS). I recommended Hardware Mode and speedhacks, is more playable.	Aiglerac
NTSC-U	Windows 10 x64 (Build 14393)	Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.20 GHz AMD Radeon R9 270X	1.5.0	GSdx	SPU2-X 2.0.0 (2015-08-16) LilyPad 0.11.0 (2016-08-16)	BIOS: USA v2.20, Garbage textures still persist. Cutscenes stutter a bit, and game feels slow even at full speed (though it could be my memory of how the game was when I used to play it.) Overall playable, though not the best experience.	Jonbuddy1
PAL	Windows 10 Pro x64	Intel Xeon X5460 4.00 GHz EVGA GeForce GTX 480 SSC @ 830 MHz (core)	1.5.0	GSdx SSE4	SPU2-X	BIOS: Europe v1.6, Game runs smooth with no problems. Used all recommended speedhacks, and basic mipmapping.	GouStoulos
NTSC-U	Windows 10 x64	Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3.40 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 2 GB	v1.5.0 (dev-3199 g2f8932e37) (	GSdx	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.12.1	BIOS: USA v2.30, Semi-Consitent FPS around 60. No clear graphical glitches. Main source of fps dropping seems to be crates. (note: this game is EE heavy)	YFNS
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070	1.5.0-20191008140206	GSdx 1.1.0 AVX2	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.12.1	Using BIOS USA 1.60, game runs decently, says it's running at full speed always but you can see it lagging. To combat this a little, I raised the target framerate to 105%, so it runs at around 63 but it looks a little better.	ClubSpade12
PAL	Windows	AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Nvidia GeForce 750 TI OC	1.6.0 Stable	GSdx SSE4.1/AVX 1.2.0	SPU2-X 2.0.0	Plays at full speed even with widescreen hack. Minor Blue glitch in background menus	Zerel
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.0GHz Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070	PCSX2 1.6.0-20200506140834	GSdx AVX2 1.2.0	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.12.1	BIOS: USA 2.00. Played at full speed. Opaque background to menus, but it's worth it to stay in hardware mode. OpenGL and Direct3D 11 had similar performance, with OpenGL performing slightly better. Anisotropic Filtering is optional. For the Riglar bolt-trick, use turbo mode, lock input, and lower GSdx settings.	Otamajakushi
NTSC-U	Windows 10 Pro x64	Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00 GHz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080	1.7.0-dev-191-g5118aba45	GSdx 1.2.0	SPU2-X 2.0.0 Synchronizing Mode: Async Mix Lilypad 0.12.1	Game is very demanding. Occasionally slows down with EE Cyclerate 0, but setting to -1 activates the game's internal frameskipping and makes it run a little smoother in most sections. Solid background menus are fine, since other than that and some minor lighting glitches, the game looks great.	Darkshadows
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Intel Core i9 10900K NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti	1.7.2900	GSdx	SPU2-X	I just beat this game with zero game breaking issues. There were some very minor flickering textures and weird texture perspective warping (not sure if that's the game or PCSX2) but other than that it ran great with Vulkan renderer, EE Cycle Rate set to 180%, and MTVU enabled.	Optim
NTSC-U	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-7700HQ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q	v1.7.2921	GSdx	SPU2-X	Played the game on standard settings upscaled to 1080p. Game runs terrible on 1.6.0 but almost perfectly on latest nightly. Some cutscenes randomly lag and on planet Batalia/ fort krontos the game speed keeps moving between 85% and 100% probably because of all the rain on screen.	Tom
NTSC-U	Windows 10 x64	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.7 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670	v1.7.3712 (SSE4)	GSdx 1.2.0	SPU2-X v2.0.0	Menu backgrounds (pause screen and credits) just show mostly solid colours, and the backgrounds in the credits are cut off (the bottom half of the screen is black). There were a handful of instances of lag in Nebula G34, Rilgar, and Pokitaru, but these were so brief and infrequent that they may well have just been one-offs or microstutter, otherwise full speed. Fully playable.	PandoraGTX

Trivia

Original names: ラチェット&クランク (SCPS-15037) & (SCPS-19211) & (SCPS-19316)

Known Issues

Framerate dips

Type: Note (not an issue)
Description: R&C's framerate may dip when many (small) enemies or allies are in view. This occurs on original hardware.
Workaround: First verify that your device is not the bottleneck if you experience framerate dips. If your device is too slow and you attempt the following fix, you will make the problem worse. Try to overclock the EE Cycle Rate under Settings > Emulation. 130% fixes almost all slowdowns in exchange for a higher GPU and CPU utilization. Higher values than 130% lead to certain instabilities.

Fixed Issues

Glitched menu backgrounds

Status: Fixed
Type: Minor
Description: Most menu backgrounds (pause screen and credits) are glitched in hardware modes.
Workaround: Fixed on latest Nightly build (Tested on v1.7.4721). If you use 1.6 or older: Use software mode, or ignore it (gameplay is not affected).

Glitched background (OpenGL hardware)
Correctly rendered (OpenGL software)

Crash on MTVU + Disabled Framelimiter

Status: Fixed
Type: Minor
Description: The game may crash when loading into a new planet if MTVU is enabled and the framelimiter is disabled. Seems to scale with the power of the host CPU; the stronger the CPU, the faster the game will run, and the faster the game will run, the more likely it is to encounter the hang condition.
Workaround: Fixed on latest Nightly build (Tested on v1.7.4721). If you are, instead, using 1.6 or older: Do not disable the framelimiter while loading a new planet. Or, simply reboot the game after the crash (the game autosaves when changing planets, before the crash condition is reached, so no progress will actually be lost).

Broken textures

Status: Fixed
Type: Serious
Description: Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mipmapping in hardware mode.
Workaround: This has been resolved on the newest nightly builds. If you are, instead, using 1.6 or older: Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". Or switch to Software Mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Note: To minimize the potential performance impact of Software Mode, set Rendering Threads to one less than the number of available CPU cores.

There were a handful of instances of lag in Nebula G34, Rilgar, and Pokitaru, but these were so brief and infrequent that they may well have just been one-offs or microstutter, otherwise full speed. Fully playable.

 The game runs smooth with almost no problems (with some light lag which is almost not noticeable). I was able to complete the whole game without any issues.

+|IssueLevel=-1
-|Description=Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mipmapping in hardware mode.
+|Description=R&C's framerate may dip when many (small) enemies or allies are in view. This occurs on original hardware.
-|Workaround=This can be resolved with the latest v1.5.0 git builds. Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". Or switch to Software Mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Note: To minimize the potential performance impact of Software Mode, set Rendering Threads to one less than the number of available CPU cores.
+|Workaround=First verify that your device is not the bottleneck if you experience framerate dips. If your device is too slow and you attempt the following fix, you will make the problem worse. Try to overclock the EE Cycle Rate under Settings > Emulation. 130% fixes almost all slowdowns in exchange for a higher GPU and CPU utilization. Higher values than 130% lead to certain instabilities.

+|IssueName=Crash on MTVU + Disabled Framelimiter
+|IsFixed=1
+|IssueLevel=0
+|Description=The game may crash when loading into a new planet if MTVU is enabled and the framelimiter is disabled. Seems to scale with the power of the host CPU; the stronger the CPU, the faster the game will run, and the faster the game will run, the more likely it is to encounter the hang condition.
+|Workaround=Fixed on latest Nightly build (Tested on v1.7.4721). If you are, instead, using 1.6 or older: Do not disable the framelimiter while loading a new planet. Or, simply reboot the game after the crash (the game autosaves when changing planets, before the crash condition is reached, so no progress will actually be lost).
