Greetings from Norway!
My first post on this forum. A little background: I only got into PS2 a few years ago. I started checking out the PS2 Classics on PS3 and fell instantly in love. After a while I realized how many great games were out there but not available on PSN. So about a year ago I bought a PS2 Phat and a whole slew of old games. In time I replaced all my old PSN versions with proper physical copies too, to avoid bugs and glitches - Persona 3 was the worst on PSN. Migraine-inducing flickering wall textures in the last section of Tartarus and a save bug that cost me ... more hours than I care to remember.
Anyway, I just build a proper PC, ripped all my PS2 games to an SSD, and started experimenting with PCSX2. The first game I checked out was Dragon Quest VIII, and I was annoyed by the distorted text when running at higher than native resolution. I googled it and got wind of a "round sprite hack" that was supposed to solve the problem.
But I can't find the hack! I am running the lastest release of PCSX2 that's available here on the site (1.2.1), but when I enable HW hacks and click Configure, the list of hacks ends with "NVIDIA hack" and "Disable CRCs" - I've seen screenshots of the HW Hacks dialog with several more, including round sprite hack, but I can't see find them in the version I'm running. I've googled every combination of key phrases I can think of, but I'm no closer to an answer. I hate to ask stupid noob questions on forums, but this is my last resort: Which obvious solution is it that I'm missing?
