Shadow Hearts: Difference between revisions

|caption          = NTSC-U Boxart

|gameinfo          = With a mix of turn-based strategy and role-playing game elements, Shadow Hearts presents a magical quest within a deep storyline. The story comes to life with complex characters, intense battle sequences, and unique gameplay mechanics that give you complete control of the action. You play Yuri--the son of a Chinese war hero--as he attempts to uncover an evil scheme and unravel the many mysteries surrounding Shadow Hearts. Since Yuri has the power to morph into the different monsters he defeats in battle, you'll be able to assume different roles, including an old Chinese mage, an international spy, or even a vampire.<br />

|Graphics=GSdx r2693

* SPU2-X r2693 1.4.0

* LilyPad r1853 0.1.0

|Comments=BIOS: Japan 2.20, The game runs better in a software renderer. Some textures don't show in the D3D10 hardware renderer. It can be run at full speed without speed hacks.

|Revision=1.1.0 r5411

|Graphics=GSdx v0.1.16 r5390

*SPU2-X v2.0.0 r5427

|Comments=BIOS: Europe 1.70 (27/02/2003), Recommended,MTVU, Pretty slow in hardware mode (known GSdx limitation), faster in SW mode, -Hardware mode has broken battle whirl effect and fusion effect (both work fine in SW mode)

|Graphics=GSdx 20160514171816 (MSVC 19.00 AVX) 1.1.0

|Comments=BIOS: Europe 1.60 (04/10/2001), Plays without a problem at a constant framerate of 60FPS in hardware mode. The only frame drops I noticed (runs at 86% speed instead of 100%) are at the monastery ruins outside, the forest outside and the graveyard with the tree area. You can fix this with F9 (software mode) other than that it plays fine. My settings: D3D11, 4x Native, Allow 8-Bit Textures, Texture Filtering: Bilinear (PS2), CRC Hack Level: Aggressive, no hardware hacks, FXAA Enabled, EE Clamping Mode set to "Full" (solves the invisible character problem). Everything else is set to default. All speedhacks on except for the mVU Flag Hack (info added at 28/7/2016).

|IssueName=Hardware mode

|Description=The game is very GPU-intensive in Hardware mode (specially for AMD GPUs) outside of battles. Additionally, enabling Texture Filtering will lead to visible graphical glitches.

|Workaround=Use a software renderer OR Direct3D9 (hardware) since it's much faster than 10/11 for this game.<br>

However, it is safe to switch to Hardware mode during battles. This will avoid slowdowns on weaker CPUs.

|IssueName=Invisible characters

|Description=In various environments, characters seem to be invisible.

|Workaround=Set '''EE/FPU clamping mode''' to '''Full'''.<br>

This change requires a scene change to take effect and will not make already invisible characters visible immediately.

|IssueName=FMVs flicker in hardware mode

|Workaround=Has been fixed in PCSX2 Git revisions as of the 21st of April, 2016. For older PCSX2 versions: Temporarily switch to software mode by pressing F9 or turn on the game fix called 'Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays' under the Game Fixes section. Just remember to turn it back off when you're not playing the game.
