Fixing unplayable games

Anyone have a fix for Hot Shots Tennis?

What's wrong with that game? It runs perfectly in SW mode. HW mode is slow due to problem in rendering shadows (like hot shots golf) but you can disable depth emulation to get decent speeds.

Was hoping for a pnach file so I didn't have to change settings every time I load up Hot Shots Tennis

Patches for NTSC and PAL versions of Sprint Cars - Road to Knoxville to fix bad ingame physics. Based on Kozarrov's idea.

These games and Sprint cars 2-showdown at Eldora also require VU Clamping Extra + Preserve sign to fix flickering textures on cars.


Edit by Refraction: This has been added to the GameDB

Hello...attempting my chance to see if you can find a fix for this one -Alpine ski racing 2007- Bode Miller vs Hermann Maier...on gameplay, the screen is full of polygons and flickers all the time . Wondering if this title is still available to fix. Crossing my fingers. Thank you in advance if you can fix it.

Enabling vu kickstart game fix and vu clamping extra + preserve sign should fix all problems with this game.
