Problems

Speed

Game will run slowly in open areas (read: areas with lots and lots of polygons).

Misc. Errors

  • When using the D3D9 plugin, the game will crash/freeze right after the Nintendo logo; the OpenGL plugin causes temporary "freezing" at this point. The former can be fixed using a custom patch (see below); the D3D11 plugin causes neither issue.
  • OpenGL plugin causes texture corruption if Native resolution option disabled.
  • Occasional FIFO overflow errors given. Set Watermark Tightness to 200 under game's properties to (almost completely) fix.
**Tested with most SVN builds from 5981 to 6036.
System used: HP HDX16 Notebook, Intel Core2 Duo P7350 (2.0 GHz), 4 GB RAM; Windows Vista Home 64-bit; NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Configuration

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

Game Properties

Config Setting Notes
Patches Custom When using the D3D9 plugin, add patch "0x8004A9F8:dword:0x60000000" under game's properties. (Type is dword, the offset is 8004A9F8, and the value is 60000000.) Not needed for D3D11 and OpenGL plugins.

**Default configuration should work fine. Try enabling OpenCL if your graphics card supports it.
