Enter properties of the game, UNTICK (CORE) Enable MMU/Sync GPU thread/Speed up Disc/vBeam hack, leaving other options default. Without this, was getting 20-40FPS.

Occasional stutter on loading, mostly when entering level or bonus stages. When dipping at 30FPS, audio also start to slightly fuzz and jerk but still is syncronized and constant. After atempting last boss multiple times, transition screens (death/enter stage) started to glitch. | Iscariath |

| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti | At default settings, the game runs at 75~90%. Interestingly enough, the game runs at full speed when underclocking the CPU down to 50% (Config --> Advanced --> CPU Options --> Enable CPU Clock Override) at the cost of other benefits (longer loading times, slow downs in overworld map, etc). In my case, I underclocked the CPU down to 25% (182 MHz). Anything lower than 25% will slow down the game, same when overclocking past 100%, so I would suggest values between 25 and 50% for this game. | |
| 5.0-3071 | Windows 10 | AMD FX 8320 @ 4.00GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | Solid 60 FPS. Running in 4k with 6x native resolution. Tested with D3D11 , D3D12 and Vulkan Occasional minor stutter and sound crackling during loading (overall = Near perfect) | K1nt4ro |
