|Comments=Laptop (4GB RAM), works great. Minor slowdown (down to 40ish FPS) in some boss fights but completely playable. Specific tweaks: 1) Use SSE4 which is hardware supported, otherwise AVX1/AVX2 will see slow down.  2) Direct3D9 is used (hardware supported again) although Direct3D11 is available, otherwise slow down again.  3) Scaling x2, which is maximum possible for laptop spec.  Scale x1 will be faster but start to see polygons.  4) MTVU is checked to help reduce EE%, otherwise it will more likely reach 100% (laptop is quad-core).  5) LilyPad: make sure the D-Pad is not configured to hat switch (should be the axes) otherwise the in-game menu going to Town is broken.

|Comments=Runs great, occasional slowdowns. A lot less random stuttering with the legacy superVU recompiler (V0 & V1) instead of microVU. Only default speedhacks. I don't know if SSE2 or SSE41 matters on the GS, I just chose one at random because AVX2 didn't work.

|Comments=Notes: Using Custom resolution, like 1920x1080 will make the detailed shadows buggy, so always use 1x 2x 4x... Native resolution. Random battle slowdowns occur, like most of the people have reported. Using Native resolution doesn't cure it fully: slowdowns can still be as high as 10 FPS at some places. This game is surprisingly smooth with Software rendering (with Rendering threads=3): no slowdowns on random battles. Settings: EE/IOP / VUI @ defaults. Speedhacks: EE=2 & VU=1, INTC, Idle loop, mVU & MTVU ON. Graphics: Resolution: Native (Required for slow random battles, otherwise runs very smoothly @ 4x Native.), 8-bit=OFF, BF=Forced, HW-hacks: OFF, Logarithmic Z=ON, AC=ON. (Extra notes: Detailed shadows hate anisotropic filtering. FXAA has a huge impact on performance for this game. After disabling it, I was able to gain the missing 10 FPS and now the game runs very smoothly with 2x Native resolution all the time.)

|Comments=Speed through 100% to 55% using hardware mode, if i change to software mode fps drops 30%, example if speed is 100% drops to 70%, played at custom resolution 1920x1080, i don't have problem with massive slowdown with shiny textured shadows (known issue), like Titus03 said playing using this resolution detailed shadow became buggy but nothing serious.

|Description=When multiple (or a single) shadow with shiny textures appear on screen during battle, the FPS and game speed will drop significantly.
|Description=When a shadow with shiny textures appears onscreen during battle, the FPS will drop significantly. It is more GPU intensive.
|Workaround=Software mode can temporarily alleviate this if the user has a good enough CPU to run Persona 4 full speed.
|Workaround=Use a better GPU, alternatively switch to Software mode by pressing the F9 key.
