Well, I was reading a bunch of posts here about people complaining about vertical bars, and/or slowdown, but I tinkered around and found a way for no bars AND no slowdown. I am able to play the game at around 60 FPS with no vertical bars and here's how. First I'd like to say that this will be a text walkthrough, but if people want screen shots of the option boxes let me know.
My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 540M @2.53Ghz
GPU: ATI RADEON HD 5870
RAM: 4GB @1066 MHz
1)First use the GDsx 4.1 if you can
2)Enable DX11 Hardware
3)Enable hacks by going into your PCSX folder>inis>GDsx.ini and Changing AllowHacks=0 to 1
4)Under the config for the plugin enable Alpha hack (under hacks section) and Skipdraw 2-4 (play around with the numbers for your needs)
I was able to even enable upscaling 2x and Hardware AA (under hacks) without any real bad glitches and it ran smooth. The game runs about 90% as good as it would on the PS2 so I hope this helps some people out.
