Problems

Music Cracks/Desyncs

Music may crackle, or worse, desync with the game when using DSP HLE. Use DSP LLE to avoid this.

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.
