As of r5819, the shadow has been removed from the main character in Hardware rendering mode. Switch to software mode to display the shadow on the main character again.

Unfortunately for benchmarking, the most performance-intensive part of the game is its true final boss 'Lucifer'; moves such as 'Focus' seem to have a similar effect on performance too., With activated Speed Hacks it runs 99% of the time smoothly. I used the Pal Version of the Game, so this works too. If you can run the game with or without speed hacks, and your pc is slower than mine, please change the pc specs in this section.

Game description: Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is a continuation of the popular role-playing series, set in our modern world. It's an average day, as a typical Japanese high school student goes to the hospital, for a visit with his sick teacher. While on the train, he gets a mysterious vision that the Apocalypse is coming. Arriving at the hospital, the boy is sucked into a Vortex Field, into a dark mirror-image of his world. When he learns our world is ending to make room for this new one, he'll do what he can to get back home and (hopefully) stop the Apocalypse.
