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.

1.5.0 Easily playable up to IRELAND: SEPULCHRE II. 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

Finally playable after years of bad textures (CDVD Bug) and SPS (VIF Stalls). 100% completion: all items, all cadeaux, all cutscenes, demo mode and credits watched. Bugs: SPS are fixed with Automatic Gamefixes. Game will freeze often after you unlock the last levels and will always freeze in a specific cutscene (before the Isle of the Dead boss). Enable the EE Timing Hack to avoid freezing and increase game stability. Don't enable MTVU with this game or characters models will break.

Known Issues

Isle of the Dead boss battle cutscene freeze

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: The game will always freeze in a specific spot during the cutscene preceeding the Isle of the Dead boss battle.
  • Workaround: Enable the EE Timing Hack.

Fixed 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.

Major graphical corruption

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • Description: Aside from characters suffering from melting/deformed polygons, proceeding further into the game will cause extreme graphical corruption that will render the game unplayable and will eventually crash PCSX2.
  • Workaround: Fixed in v1.7.0-dev-685-g678829a5b or alternatively use these hacks
