This game is extremely CPU and GPU intensive, it was running at about 30 FPS even on the original Playstation 2.

Also, Intel CPUs work better with PCSX2 than AMD ones. My personal recommendation is that the CPU have a clock rate of at least 3.5 GHz (Intel) | Also, Intel CPUs or AMD Phenom CPUs work better with PCSX2 than AMD FX ones. My personal recommendation is that the CPU have a clock rate of at least 3.5 GHz (Intel and AMD Phenom) and 4 GHz (AMD FX), as long as there are at least 2 cores for either processor. These clock rates, coupled with VU Cycle stealing will seriously help the game achieve 30 frames-per second or higher. | ||

Unfortunately, raising the internal resolution to eliminate the bloom may cause certain textures to become misaligned. This causes the bloom on Shadow Creatures, Pigeons, Wander's Sword, and Mono's Dress to be placed to the upper-left of their proper position. | Unfortunately, raising the internal resolution to eliminate the bloom may cause certain textures to become misaligned.
