|Comments=BIOS: USA v2.00, HACKS: Hacks: INTC, Wait Idle Loop, mVU Flag Hack, '''Allow 8-bit Textures''' (GSdx). Using EE/VU cycle speedhacks increase the speed but reduce the smoothness, not recommended. Reducing clamps cause more issues, not recommended. 60/60FPS using progressive mode even without speedhacks but it is less smooth in this mode. 45-60/60 in normal mode with only recommended hacks.

|Description=Using high resolution in GSdx brings some thin lines over the screen.
|Description=Vertical black lines appear when running the game in any resolution that's higher than native. This issue also occurs in various other [[Namco]] titles.
|Workaround=You can either: Use native resolution or use 1260x(any) resolution. You can subtract any multiple of 60 from 1260 (eg, 1200, 1140, 1080, etc) as needed for performance, but no horizontal resolution greater than 1260 works. Vertical resolution has no effect on the black bars, so you can set this to any value you desire. In older GSdx versions, 1270 rather than 1260 works in the same manner.
|Workaround=<s>You can either: Use native resolution or, use 1260x(any) resolution.

Don't use HW AA, it will cause the problem even in "Native" resolution.
:<b>This is now fixed in the more recent developer builds found [http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/ here]. Use the 'Align Sprite' hack found under 'Enable HW Hacks' in GSdx options.</b>
