|dspenginenotes = DSP LLE should be used for musical games like this were sound and music is important but it lags quite a lot even on high-end PCs, mostly on stages where there is huge crowds and a lot of things going on. Even though the sound crackles and things get out of sync for just a little bit, HLE is still recommended for this game.
However there might be a way to play it smoothly with DSP LLE and that is if all songs are completed and all stages unlocked. Then you might be able to chose a certain studio room with no crowd and nice effects to bog things down. I tried this on quickplay and got lucky to end up just in that special studio room and things went smooth.

Problems

Invisible Band Logos

Band Logos may not appear properly. This only occurs with EFB to Texture, but turning on EFB to Ram causes videos to be distorted. There is no proper solution, so pick your poison.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
