Known Issues

- Type: Minor
- Description: The screen flickers during the game intro/cutscenes.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes > select "Enable manual game fixes" and enable "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays". Another way to fix this is pressing F9 to change to software mode and then press F9 back to hardware mode, after this the video runs normally. Some cutscenes freeze if you play with versions older than 1.5.0 2779, check the text below.
