Problems

Hero Story Crash

The game may crash after the third level in the Hero Story. To correct this, enable "Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate" in the game properties.

Audio Desync

The audio keeps getting further and further ahead of the video during cutscenes. This can be fixed by setting the framelimit to "audio" and checking "limit by fps". This may also be fixed by using DSP LLE.
