The main problem is that this game actually WORKED under PCSX2 0.9.6. So I guess something\someone broke it.

Bugs:
Crash at the copyrights screen.

Also try SuperVU or the vu interpreter to see if it gets further.

Well... yeah. Switching VU1 to any of them two allows the game the game to get into gameplay. How didn't I think about that? Although in Interpreter mode the console spams "***** EE > Twice-thrown int on IRQ 18" and the game works really slow during gameplay. There're also some very minor graphical glitches (fixed by switching to software mode). I'm gonna get through some levels and update this.

[Nicknine]

Alright, got 100% save, played handful of levels. Seems to be working stable. Deserves "Playable" status.
Oh, and speedhacks have very little effect on this game.

[refraction]

okay noting that supervu for vu1 is required, changing status ;p

[CK1]

No longer requires SuperVU, incompatible with MTVU.
