|Comments= | |Comments=FMVs play correctly in software mode via the "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays" hack (not tested with hardware, but probably would only display a black screen based on other tests). As far as I know though, this fix is removed in 1.7.0, so you'd probably need to press F9 a lot to get FMVs to work on a hardware playthrough. Text is grey instead of white. Full speed. Fully playable. | ||

|Description= | |Description=FMVs are not shown in hardware mode when the game is running at 60hz(all NTSC versions, optional in PAL). | ||
|Workaround=As | |Workaround=1.7 versions (partial workaround): Place [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pKBtRjGOxtJCxFHAuVi0fqGIjEiJVmdY/view this Silent Hill 3 .pnach file] to "cheats" folder and enable it in PCSX2 options (System > Game Settings > Enable Cheats). This .pnach file was edited to include FMV fix only. As far as I know, it's a partial fix, so FMV videos can still break and not show anything (opening video worked for me, but credits did not). Additionally, you can check out [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes?pid=619111#pid619111 original .pnach file] that includes different options for Silent Hill 3, you can open it with text editor and comment out (with "//" prefix) options you don't want. | ||
* '''Note:''' In later 1.5 and 1.6 revisions, this is automatically fixed as long as System > Automatic Gamefixes is enabled. For older versions go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes tab, click "enable manual game fixes" and enable the "Switch to GSdx Software rendering when an FMV plays" fix. | |||
* '''Note:''' In earlier PCSX2 v1.5.0 git builds and older versions, FMVs will flicker even in Software mode. | * '''Note:''' In earlier PCSX2 v1.5.0 git builds and older versions, FMVs will flicker even in Software mode. | ||
