• 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.

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), MTVU, INTC Spin Detection, Enable Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag Hack, Still Playable. Game works fine at a good speed. Requires software mode to fix the graphics (MipMaps), 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)

Known Issues

Broken textures

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mip-mapping in hardware mode.
  • Workaround: Run the game in software mode (F9), this however will cause a considerable speed hit. To minimize the speed hit, set "Extra rendering threads" to one less than the number of CPU cores that you have.
