Problems

Screen Freeze in Dr. R. Mean Bean Machine

In the unlockable Game Gear game "Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine": When playing story mode the screen often freezes for a couple of seconds, but game play continues. Happens with both OpenGL and Direct 3D renderers.

Enhancements

Blurry Distant Textures

Since 5.0-5745, textures in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut will appear blurry in the distance at internal resolutions above native, due to false positives in Arbitrary Mipmap Detection. The only way to disable this was to enable GPU Texture Decoding. Since 5.0-8296, this setting can be disabled indipendently. However, if any "mip trick" effects are used by the game, they will not work correctly.

Since 5.0-20745, this setting is disabled by default.

r7719 Windows 7 AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.65GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Works great, but crashes randomly and save states don't work. Play the PC version instead. AgainstYourThought
3.0-373 Mac OS X 10.7.2 Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz AMD Radeon HD 6750M Smooth. jedivulcan
3.0-636 Windows 7 Intel Core i5-2430M @ 2.4GHz NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M Looks beautiful with higher resolutions and anti aliasing. However, doing this makes the frame rate drop. Runs smoothly on lower settings. Couldn't handle DSP LLE, but runs fine with DSP HLE. If your not playing this on a laptop (like me, heh) I am positive that you can handle the higher settings theredpikmin
3.0-688 Mac OS X 10.7.4 Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz AMD Radeon HD 6750M Still smooth. Works great. jedivulcan
3.0-688 Mac OS X 10.7.4 Intel Core i5-2435M @ 2.4GHz Intel HD Graphics 3000 20FPS. The game runs slow. Unplayable. jedivulcan
4.0-2575 Windows 7 Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 There is an issue concerning invisible text when speaking to people and interacting with the monitors. Adjusting the Texture Cache Slider does nothing to make the text visible again. Switching to Direct3D could have fixed the problem, but I don't remember if that worked and that backend has worse slowdown as well. The graphics don't work properly without EFB copies set to texture. Game runs with slowdown to 50FPS but with OpenGL it's a bit faster, but it could be my CPU since others are not having issues with slowdown. Yugix
4.0-4488 Windows 7 Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 The issue with invisible text is persistent on some screens on the city adventure field, and now the HUD seems be invisible as well in these instances, including the pause menu. The levels that are effected are Emerald Coast part two, and the Egg Carrier adventure field after the sky deck outside. Outside of those areas, the issue doesn't exist elsewhere no longer. The game runs at fullspeed with some very minor slowdown here and there that mainly happens with a bunch of stuff on screen. Direct3D is much worse with the invisible HUD and text issue so use OpenGL. Yugix
4.0-5730 Windows 8.1 Intel Core i7-2600K @ 4GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Game runs full speed as far as I've played on both the D3D and OGL backends at 4xIR and no extra effects added. Text is still invisible in areas of the game but the majority seems to be present (only really tested under the OGL backend); this can be annoying if using the Japanese voices in conjunction with English text depending on when the text decides to not appear and how important said text is. Those who understand the language they've selected will do fine and, as I've said, the game is essentially fully playable under either backend using this build. TehGuy
