|Comments=I tried this game on r5350 as well as r5460. The game will work perfectly fine with the default settings (Audio plugin of SPU2-X) and speed hacks up until fighting the Patriarch (the final story boss). At that point, the first part of the fight will be okay. During the second part of the fight, the program itself is fine but windows will crash it every time. I was able to work around it by changing the audio plug-in to ZeroSPU2. It makes the audio sound like crap but the game will proceed just fine without crashing | |Comments=I tried this game on r5350 as well as r5460.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.20 NTSC, 2x Scaling, DX9 hardware. With default settings around 10fps. But turning on 8bit textures MASSIVELY increases the framerate to the 60fps cap! MTVU actually slows down framerates, turning it off gives around 5fps improvement. Also the ground and shadows was not rendered properly with default settings, I fixed it by enabling alpha correction and skipdraw 1 in hardware hacks. In addition, there were some bright lines on the bottom border in cutscenes so I cropped it out by setting zoom to 101 in gs window settings. | |Comments=BIOS: USA 2.20 NTSC, 2x Scaling, DX9 hardware.

[[Special:Contributions/Xanadune|'''Xanadune''']]: Shadow glitch can be fixed by increasing the resolution to your monitor's native resolution and then increasing the x res by 1. So say I have 1680x1050 native resolution; I fix the glitch by increasing to 1681x1050 in GSDX using custom resolution. Recommend no AA as it seems to severely slow the game down and also breaks the shadow fix. Also enable fast CDVD access under speedhacks to fix some of Jrs. missing attack sounds.<br/> | [[Special:Contributions/Xanadune|'''Xanadune''']]: Shadow glitch can be fixed by increasing the resolution to your monitor's native resolution and then increasing the x res by 1.

[[Special:Contributions/Weltall|'''Weltall''']]: [NTSC] For those who still have shadow glitch, i fixed it by setting custom resolution to 1366x768 and enabling the Alpha HW Hack in GSDX menu. All recommended settings enabled.

[[Special:Contributions/Dasein|'''Dasein''']]: [NTSC] As of PCSX2 1.7.0 custom resolution is no longer an option in GSDX, however setting Half Pixel Offset to Special(Texture) in Advanced Settings and Hacks fixed the shadow glitch. | |||
