Runs at full speed on Software mode, but has severe framerate drops when hit by spells or spells with high polygon count are used. Hardware lags badly on menus, but runs at around 50FPS during gameplay and has much less severe framerate drops. NTSC-J often has lower framerates due to comic book-style cutouts that appear on screen (A feature exclusive to the NTSC-J version). On Hardware mode, certain spells have a glowing effect that can't be seen on Software mode nor on console. VU Cycle Stealing causes choppy framerate but does improve speed. Direct3D9 (HW) has severe issues with polygon clipping. Upscaling also causes lines to appear in menu textures. Despite lagging problems, both versions run near perfectly. None of the speedhacks slow down or cause glitches. No particular differences between PCSX2 1.2.1, 1.4.0, or 1.5.0. Hyde233
