BIOS: SCPH39001, HACKS: The most obvious broken filter can be removed with the hidden GSdx skipdraw hack set to "3". All speedhacks are safe, although high levels of VU cycle stealing will cause choppy framerates., The game runs at about 2/3rds speed (GPU cap) due to broken filters. Frameskipping causes severe graphical bugs., On hardware mode, as long as speedhacks are enabled, my GPU is definitely the bottleneck. MyDreamName
