=== Hang on Licensed by Nintendo ===
=== Subtitles ===
The game goes through massive slowdown on its initial "Licensed by Nintendo" screen unless the "Skip EFB Access from CPU" hack is enabled. Without it, loading times upwards of 10 minutes can be experienced before getting in-game, however once in-game without the hack a savestate can be created to bypass the long loading times. See {{issue|8110}}.
Subtitles, as well as the text for many sub-menus e.g. the Costume changing tents require Fast Depth Calculation to be enabled in order for them to appear on-screen


=== Black Menu ===
=== <s>Hang on Licensed by Nintendo</s> ===
When using Skip EFB Access, a black screen is shown after the Big Sky logo rather than the menu. Pressing the A button on the controller will start the game.

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-5110|OS=Ubuntu 14.10|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650|result=Licensed by Nintendo screen now displays instead of being a bunch of giant pixels thanks to {{revision|4.0-4603}}, but in order to even see it you have to turn off Skip EFB Access from CPU which causes extreme load times, upwards of 10 minutes. With the hack enabled this loading screen is somehow bypassed and the game boots quickly as normally expected. Using Skip EFB Access, after the Big Sky logo the screen goes black apparently infinitely, but mashing start lets the game continue. Plays the same as {{revision|4.0-4368}} except maybe a bit faster.|tester=Xerxes}}

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-3437|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i7-4790k @ 4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070|result=Finished half the game, running in Vulkan (experimental) with Antialiasing: None, Anistropic Filtering: 1x, and Internal: 3x Native (1920x1584) for 1080p.  But otherwise almost 60FPS the entire time. Pretty much perfect, just some minor graphical glitches, like Bubbles on Main Menu flickering and lights showing textures incorrectly, but nothing distracting, and i found that playing in Vulkan increases framerate and decreases stutter alot more. I did test OpenGL performance on Windows and it seems the most stable option, but framerate and stutter is very inconsistent. If you're on Windows, i suggest using Vulkan, as it's worth the very minor graphical glitches, just be in mind it's still experimental (at the time of writing this).|tester=Spongeyperson}}
{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-3437|OS=Mac OS X 10.12.4|CPU=Intel Core i7-4790k @ 4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070|result=Finished the other half the game, running in OpenGL on Mac OS X, using the same settings as explained above, it seems that OpenGL stutters alot less on Mac OS X than it does on Windows, the game is very playable on both platforms.|tester=Spongeyperson}}
