|pccomment        = Because of not very good CPU & GPU(Notebook), I've to use some VU & EE improvements. With setting which I type in "Test Config" it works really great! (probably it will be good with worst or better config too)
|pccomment        = Because of not very good CPU & GPU (Notebook), I've to used some VU & EE improvements. I typed my settings in the comments above.  This game is extremely CPU and GPU intensive, it was running at about 30 FPS even on the original Playstation 2. Setting VU cycle steal to 2 or even 3 helps the game tremendously

===Texture Misalignment===
===Texture Misalignment===
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.

*Solution: Open up the GSdx plugin settings and search through the configurations until you find the "Half-Pixel Offset" hack. Enabling this hack will re-align the texture.
