Drop in and conquer the massive, living mountain rife with ego-crushing challenges and gravity-bending thrills. SSX 3 (Snowboard Super Cross 3) returns with more slopes and all-new hazards to overcome including lightning storms, vertical drops, serpentine slopestyle courses and avalanches. Customize your rider's clothes, abilities, and moves. Pull off three levels of awesome "Uber tricks." Dominate the mountain. It's a long way down, so make sure you're ready for the challenge.
Problems
Audio
With HLE audio emulation significant portions of sounds are not playing. Use DSP LLE to fix it. Even with LLE, there are some minor glitches with the ingame music.
Sun Slowdown
Any time the ingame sun is on screen, slowdown occurs on weaker systems. Enabling "Skip EFB Access to CPU" can alleviate this, but it breaks many effects and it is not recommended.
Sun Shines Through
The sun will show even through obstacles and terrain, which can be observed while riding through small caves or forests.
VP6 Videos
Videos are messed up, appearing scrambled, refer issue 5046. Although this was addressed in 4.0-593, video playback is still not perfect. Disabling anisotropic filtering will reduce, but not eliminate, the scrambling.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
