Game description: Mike Leroi is Shadow Man - undead demon hunter and protector of the world. Follow him on a twisted voodoo journey through the darkest recesses of the soul as he battles the Grigori, a group of sadistic demons bent on returning their monstrous leader, Osmodeus, from the pit. If they succeed, darkness and destruction will befall humanity - only the power of Shadow Man can stop them now...
The story begins as Michael LeRoi resurrects from "Deadside" to "Liveside" in order to contact Jaunty, a human-headed snake and a close associate of Mama Nettie. Unfortunately, after LeRoi finds and returns Jaunty to Mama Nettie, he is cursed with a powerful spell. Upon completion of his second task and after another encounter with Mama Nettie, LeRoi receives a note from a man named Thomas Deacon whom he goes about in search of, after which LeRoi learns of Asmodeus and the Grigori, as well as their plan to cause Armageddon. It is once again up to Michael, the Shadow Man, to save the world.

After that I couldn't transform into Shadowman, so i'm stuck ( maybe it's because of increase life or voodoo magic meter with CADEAUX, but I'm not sure ). No graphics glitches. 8x native resolution with a large performance reserve, stable 60 FPS ( except fire - is very GPU demanding ). Edit. In the end, I finished game to the end. The non-functional automatic transformation into Shadowman can be bypassed by teleporting to another location and back. The only graphics bug is that Shadowman is more of an InvisibleMan ( Mike is fine ), but it can be finished - whenever I can prove it with configuration files, "pcsx2 Shadowman 2 build.exe" and a saved position at the end of the game	41444

Known Issues

Corrupted textures

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Serious
• Description: Enviroment textures (floor, walls, ect...) are not rendered properly, showing a grid pattern instead.
• Workaround: Used to have slighty corrupted textures on v1.7.0-dev-683-g4a90499ec, now all textures display properly on the latest build.

Alternatively you can fix textures by patching game image directly in hex editor. Code for SLUS (US) version of game, but should be the same for others.
