So I've been trying this game out for a couple years now, and it seems this game has a game-breaking bug that still hasn't been fixed. In particular, the game runs fine (so long as you activate the Alpha Hack under HW hacks and use Skipdraw 2~4), but after about 30~45 minutes, the game will have produced an error message saying that the "VU cache limit has been reached". This appears in the log about three or four times, then the next time it happens, PCSX2 crashes and closes down.
I last tested this a few days ago on PCSX2 ver. 1.2.1 r5875 (last official stable release.) It seems that the game just eats up memory or something until it runs out, then PCSX2 just jumps off a cliff. Haven't been messing with SVN builds since I went to that last official release, but I hear SVN is whacked out or something anyway.
Specs are in the sig if that's of any relevance, but tons of people have reported this same thing on other sites and whatnot, so it seems it doesn't matter what specs you have.
Basically, is there any insight into why this happens, and any chance it could be fixed in the future? This game still seems to be problematic, since it barely runs at all unless you use the aforementioned hacks on it. Running it in Software mode just makes the game crash about 20 minutes into gameplay no matter what.
