'''''Viewtiful Joe''''' is a video game developed by Capcom's Production Studio 4 for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It was originally released in 2003 as a part of the Capcom Five under director Hideki Kamiya and producer Atsushi Inaba. ''Viewtiful Joe'' was later ported to the Sony PlayStation 2 by the same design team under the name Clover Studio. The Japanese version of the PS2 release is titled '''''Viewtiful Joe: A New Hope'''''. The game's story concerns Joe, an avid movie-goer whose girlfriend Silvia is kidnapped during a film starring Joe's favorite superhero, Captain Blue. Joe is shortly thereafter thrust into Movieland, where Silvia is taken by the villainous group known as Jadow. After accepting a special V-Watch from Captain Blue, Joe transforms into the tokusatsu-style persona "Viewtiful Joe" and sets out to rescue her.

Problems

Videos

If the External Frame Buffer is disabled, videos only show a black screen. RealXFB is set by default in the GameINI to avoid this, however the problem may still occur if you open the graphics configuration window and override the settings. RealXFB locks the game to 1x Native Internal Resolution only, so to improve graphics quality beyond 1x Native, the user will need to override the GameINI and deal with black videos. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.

Enhancements
