Trivia

Original names: 슬라이 쿠퍼 3 최후의 대도 (SCKA-20063)
Also known as Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves (EU)

Known Issues

Right side of the screen cut off in PAL release

Status: Fixed
Type: Serious
Workaround: Enable the "Show Overscan" option (ideally in the game's properties) in the 1.7+ builds.

Upscaling causes offset chroma layers

Status: Fixed
Type: Serious
Description: When upscaling, different chroma layers of the image seem to be offset from each other, resulting in a rather nauseating image.
Workaround: Fixed some time ago in 1.7 builds through automatic game fixes. For older versions, enable the "Round Sprite: Full" hack.

Can't blow up pillar in Episode 5, "Dynamic Duo"

Status: Fixed
Type: Serious
Description: During the mission "Dynamic Duo" in episode 5, you need to blow up a pillar with Bentley's bombs. The bombs do nothing, and it's impossible to progress.
Workaround: Fixed some time ago in 1.7 builds. For older versions, go to Config > Emulation Settings > VUs tab, and set Round Mode to "Nearest" and Clamping Mode to "Extra".

Incorrect Line Upscaling

Status: Fixed
Type: Minor
Description: When upscaling the game to higher resolutions, the cel shader black lines become too big and aren't In their right place.
Workaround: Fixed some time ago in 1.7 builds. For older versions, go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", Choose "Disable safe feature". The black lines become small but they are still there.
