* There is a moderate slow down when opening in-game menus.
*When upscaling the game, the bloom is misaligned. To fix this enable '''HW Hacks''' on the GSdx plugin and check '''Half-pixel offset'''.
* Keep note: Performance may vary in mini-games.
*Various effects, such as smoke and the sun, have texture issues. This is not present in Software rendering.
* Runs at 60 FPS.

Other info:
*The '''MTVU''' hack and setting '''EE Cyclerate''' to 3, '''breaks the game'''.
