GPU: Geforce 9600GT

Comments: 55-60FPS in Hardware mode, ~25FPS in the missions that need Software mode.

Known Issues:

White Weapons

Some shiny weapons show as a white texture.

  • Solution: Needs VU round mode Extra+preserve sign

Purple/Green graphics GSdx Hardware

Purple/Green screen when 3d ingame graphics show.

  • Solution: Software mode (F9) in GSdx.
  • Fixed in hardware mode in GSdx r4575 and newer.

Black missions

Some missions start showing then begin turning just black.

  • Solution: Only Software Mode (F9) in GSdx is known to work.

Wall of Fog

NTSC version only. Happens in some missions only, grey fog that can be seen after a line in front of the character.

  • Solution: Skipdraw=1 under the GSdx hacks.

Missing Shadows since r4575

Side effect from the purple/green screen fix. It's either one or the other if you want to use hardware mode as of now (r4600).
