|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.

|Comments=Runs very well but is quite blurry out of the box, to fix this hold 'x' and 'triangle' while starting the game, the game will show a screen to enable progressive scan, press square. 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.
