Hanging
The game suffers from random hangs. Save often. Try to enable JIT recompiler.

The hangs appear to only happen when the kite ninjas are onscreen for too long. Savestate when you see them and kill them first.

Texture Alignment
Texture alignment issues in the game menus can be resolved by setting the internal resolution to Auto (Multiple of 640x528)
