Comments: Only just started; configured, played a bit, saved game. Working on sound sync issue now (2012-03-31). The use of dense fog in this game results in an uneven framerate (with frame skip disabled). Running fullscreen with custom window size 1280x894. Dynamic vsync on. D3D10 mode, 3x native scaling. Playing with Dualshock 3. Hack comments: Unknown if any of these make a difference, but they're what I default to.

  • Idle Loop Fast Forward
  • mVU Flag Hack
  • mVU Block Hack
