Hello!
My setup:
Win 7 64bit
Core 2 Quad 2.50ghz
Radeon HD4850 512mb
8gb ram
It's not the best, I know that. However I can run most games well on the *newest* versions of PCSX2 (latest official build and latest svn build).
But this game, for some reason, seems to work better on an old 0.9.7 build I found. On both the official 0.9.8 version and the latest SVN, the game runs at about 40-45 FPS once I get to the first 3D area with actual characters. I've tried many different things with the speedhacks and GPU settings, yes. It doesn't change much whatsoever.
Now, take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDN8vSCBSJc
In the description, there's a link to the old 0.9.7 version that he used in this vid. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mmwhmqzytzz With that version, the game looks better and plays alot better.
Latest SVN build (same with official 0.9.8): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/svnbuild.png/ It looks darker than it should, and plays slower.
0.9.7 build that the guy uses: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/225/097s.png/
Neither of these shows any character shadows, but from what I've read, the only way to fix that is to play in software mode.
Is it a hack/gamefix that makes it work better in this 0.9.7 version? Or is the 0.9.7 version just plain better for this game in general? I have no idea what's going on really.
By looking in the patches folder (0.9.7) I don't see any file related to this game, so I guess a gamefix is not the reason...? There must be a good reason though why the game works so much better with the old version.
I play with similar settings for GSdx in all versions. DX10 Hardware, native resolution, texture filtering on.
SHOULD I just play with 0.9.7 or is there a way to make it work the same or better with the latest PCSX2?
Thanks
