BIOS: USA 1.60, FPS:~50-60, The use of dense fog in this game results in an uneven framerate (with frame skip disabled); Running fullscreen D3D10 mode, 2x native scaling with custom window size 1168x1022 on a 1080p TV. Dynamic vsync off. Interpolation #4, de-alias filter, Xaudio 2, latency 90ms, Timestretch w/ default settings. Disc is an ISO on HDD. Playing with Dualshock 3 using libUSB/sixaxis64. FMVs won't play normally with scaled resolution and HW rendering. In other words, hit F9 when movies start :). Sound is a little wobbly in FMVs in software mode, but not unlistenable. Quaestor

BIOS: USA 2.20, Works at full speed and with good scaling, but it has a issue with FMV videos, there is two ways to fix this, first, use native resolution, second, if you want to use scaling, when the FMVs starts change to software mode. H3llRaiser

FMVs are bugged in this game in HW Mode. See Known Issues on how to fix that. Other than that the game runs great.

Known Issues

Bugged FMVs

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: FMVs don't play correctly when you play in GSdx HW Mode with anything higher than Native Res.
  • Workaround: Apply Manual Gamefix: Switch to GSdx Software rendering when an FMV plays

GSdx Screenshots wrong size

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: When taking screenshots in PCSX2 using the F8 key, the image height is somehow cut in half, resulting in distorted images. This might be related to a very old bug where the NTSC version of the game would only show half the screen.
  • Workaround: No known method for now. Use a different software to take screenshots instead, such as Fraps or Bandicam.
