|Comments= Hardware renderer is still borked and can't display most of the visual effects. Very questionable performance (end cutscene), can't run EE 130% without massive slowdowns. And 130% EE breaks physics.

|Comments=Originally, I wasn't using MTVU or OPH flag and had EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing at 1, and there was noticeable lag; sometimes framerate would drop to around 45fps, but got low as 30fps during the battle with Gaius. Lag wasn't always particularly noticeable as I was initially using Async Mix audio. Increasing EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing to 2, enabling MTVU and OPH flag hack made the game run at full speed at all times. Only issue I still noticed was faint white lines at the left and upper sides of the screen, most noticeable in cutscenes and underwater (presumably they'd be more visible if I didn't increase the zoom). Fully playable.
