|Comments= Runs much better than NTSC Version, as long as Maori-Jigglypuff's Overhaul pnach is applied. Pnach fixes various graphical bugs including the "Lost Forest Bug", disables anti-cheating mechanism, and improves speed overall, so setting of PCSX2's GSDX Plugin (OpenGL) can be at default and yet runs smoothly at 50 FPS 95% of the time, and now you can cheat with no crashes onwards. For "Vanilla" gameplay, comment out the obvious cheats in OTH, Items, Ravine timer and disabled enemy AI on his pnach.

Then in the video plugin settings, increase the internal resolution, tick 'enable HW Hacks', press the 'Advanced Settings and Hack' button, tick 'Frame Buffer Conversion' and set 'Half-pixel Offset' to 'Special (Texture)'.

* There is a widescreen patch for the game, but the NTSC-U version was removed from the archive in the git build 1.5.0-dev-1090 due to the fact that it causes various freezes in the game. Most notable was if you try to enter 'Sound Settings' while the patch is enabled, it will instantly freeze PCSX2 entirely. The same happens when trying to enter the Change Attack screen, or even fighting the final boss. This is most likely caused by the built-in anticheat system of VP2.

|Description=The monsters will drop way less items than they should and you'll rarely get the direct assault item. The game might freeze in the menus, and you won't be able to fight the griffon in the Ancient Forest.
|Description=Valkyrie Profile 2 suffers from ghosting similar to Tales of the Abyss. This issue only occurs on certain maps.
|Workaround=This is caused by using widescreen Patches. Play the game without widescreen Patches, and use the built-in native 16:9 support instead.

|IssueLevel=1
|Description=Valkyrie Profile 2 suffers from ghosting similar to Tales of the Abyss. This issue only occurs on certain maps.
|Description=Entering the boss room in the Turgen Mines dungeon triggers a short cutscene. Audio is completely missing during the scene. Half-way through the scene the game softlocks. Some animations will continue to play, but the cutscene does not advance and trigger the boss.
|Workaround=Under GSdx options, Enable HW Hacks, and then set TC Offset X: 450, and TC Offset Y: 250 to mimimize ghosting. Note that his will cause graphical glitches in other scenes. Alternatively you may also use the Alpha Hack, but this will remove some effects from the game.
|Workaround=Go To Config > Audio (SPU2) > Plugin Settings, and set Synchronizing Mode to "Async Mix". Alternatively, press "start" to skip the cutscene. The boss battle will resume after skipping it.

|IssueLevel=1
|Description=In some areas of the game (in particular the Forest area at the start of the game), there will be a purple effect all over the screen when the ''Renderer'' is set to any of the Hardware modes. You can still advance, but it will be very difficult to move around without being able to see where you are exactly.

You can still advance, but it will be very difficult to move around without being able to see where you are exactly.
|Workaround=Go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings, set the ''Renderer'' to "OpenGL (Hardware)", and set ''Blending Unit Accuracy'' to "Basic" or higher will be slower but Basic is fine. Or set the ''Renderer'' to any of the Software modes.
|Workaround=This has been resolved in recent v1.5.0 git builds. Use OpenGL renderer and keep Blending Accuracy to at least Basic level. CRC hack level should be left on Automatic.
:'''Note:''' OpenGL HW mode will need ''CRC Hack Level'' set to "Full (Safest)" for the best performance. For best performance in SW mode, make sure you set ''Extra rendering threads'' to 3 under GSdx's options if your CPU is a quad-core processor.
