|Description=At higher than native resolutions in D3D9/11 Hardare mode, ghosting occurs.

|Description=Sometimes while playing parts of the character's body look like falling off or going across the screen.
|Workaround=Set the '''VU clamping mode''' to "Extra".<br>
|Workaround=Go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set '''Clamping Mode''' to "'''Extra'''".
Alternatively you can set the '''VU clamping mode''' to "Normal" and the '''EE clamping mode''' to "None" : it won't look as good (SPS will still occur but it will fade away by itself) in a few second but it will increase the fps
*'''Alternative Workaround''':Keep Clamping Mode on the VUs tab set to the default "Normal" and set Clamping Mode on the EE/IOP tab to "None". This won't look as good as the other workaround (SPS will still occur but it will fade away by itself in a few seconds) but it will increase the framerate.

|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=Get the latest dev build of pcsx2, in GSdx tick "'''Enable HW Hacks'''" and from the configuration window "'''Align Sprite'''".
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable "'''Align Sprite'''" hack.
For older builds 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.
*'''Alternative Workaround''':Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and either: Use set the Internal Resolution to "Native", or set it to "Custom" and the Custom Resolution to 1260x(any value). 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.
 
Don't use HW AA, it will cause the problem even in "Native" resolution.

|Workaround=skipdraw=2 in hardware mode or software mode (F9) in GSdx helps with this but some stages will not show shadows where they should.
