|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)'.

|Comments= Runs good 3x resolution (only in Forest is slow and color bug in HW, SW is ok), in PCSX2 forums search for patch for disable scaling bug in forest, use this settings HW hacks "frame buffer conversion" and "half-pixel offset" set to "special texture", also in "no interleacing thread" there is a code for disable shaking screen (testing) more info in trivia section.

* Holding the triangle and X buttons while the game boots up allows the selection of Progressive Scan mode. Interlacing can be disabled. for PAL version you can try this cheat here [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes?pid=609103#pid609103] or use autoboot code from here (Japan version SLPM_664.19;1) [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes?pid=618766#pid618766] (USA Version SLUS_214.52) [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes?pid=618766#pid618766]

* 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.

|Workaround=Under GSdx options, Enable HW Hacks, and then set TC Offset X: 450, and TC Offset Y: 250 to mimimize ghosting.
