[GUIDE] Best Settings For Crash Of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant

[giorgakis132]

yay!! Finally!! I am posting a thread just to help you guys achieve good speeds in these two so underrated and hateful games.. but these two are actually my two favourites

anyway.. lets start off with my PC specifications:
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 32bit
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core Inside E5200 @2.50Ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD5450 1GB Asus
RAM: 2048MB

alright..lets start off by the configuration:

First, download the latest SVN
then select your plugins...when you re done with the 1st time configuration go to emulation settings under configuration tab and head to speedhacks...

enable speed hacks, check all the reccomended ones except the mVUFlag hack and also check MTVU hack.. (my CPU is a Dual Core but I dont have special problems with those two games) and put the VU cycle stealing at two.. (dont use EE Cycle) right.. next go to EE/IOP settings under emulation and set clamping mode to none, do the same and to VUs settings... next go to video plugin settings under configuration tab and do as stated below:

Renderer: Direct3D 9 or 11 (hardware)
Interlaced: Blend bff
Native checked
Allow 8 bit checked..
others unchecked

next go to sound plugin settings and do as stated
Interpolation: 0 fastest/bad quality
Disable effects processing checked
Module 1 X-Audio 2
Latency 317ms (avg)
Synchronising mode Async Mix
And you done

I REALLY hope my post helped and this is the configuration that best plays my games but there are still some minor lags however and some missing textures...

NOTE:
there are some levels that the crash of the titans game goes slowly at 20 fps in low end computers like mine does... you can find the save file here to pass those levels(or to be more exact.., to finish the game o_O)

EDIT: If your gfx card supports Direct3D 11 USE THAT!! there are less graphic glitches AND graphics actually render faster!

dx3d9 11

I guess by that you meant Direct3D 11.

question: In the last svn there is still the sound " bug" where happen the annoying "bip" "bip" everytime a titan "speak"?

thanks

[giorgakis132]

yeah, to tell the truth I dont know how to fix that.. I just turn off the "dialogue" sounds when at pause menu, while in-game..

[emufan1980]

eh... nothing you can do i guess, at the time i did try everything..i guess is a know bug.. only thing can do is wait patiently till get fixed

[giorgakis132]

yep

Thanks for this Settings For Crash Of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant I'll try it after buying the games, but since this thread is about crash I have small trouble on crash wrath of cortex every think on game is fine except when I play any stage I see white background in front of me wherever I go :

do you have any idea how to remove this white background which is like fog ?

..now this is something beyond my knowledge, but it would help others who know better if you post your settings and your PC specifications.. (but it would be also better if you open a new thread, as this thread is all for having best possible speed in these games so it has noting to do with graphic problem..btw, do you use Direct11 renderer?)
