Enhancements
Red Triangles
Translucent red flat planes appear on the ground in many areas /w IR >1x. This minor graphical glitch doesn't affect game play. This effect can be fixed by disabling Scaled EFB Copy. If playing at higher resolutions, enable Vertex Rounding.
Box Outline
The outline of a box appears over the upper left corner of the screen /w IR >1x. Prior to Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874 XFB Real must be enabled to remove it at IR 1x.
To remove the box at higher resolutions, use this AR code, though content inside the box will still render at x1 resolution:
16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix
The Widescreen Hack has clipping issues in this game that can be fixed with a Gecko Code.This is an updated version of the code that fixes the previous issue where the shadow would disappear.

| r7719 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3 @ 2.53GHz | Intel GMA X4500HD | Playable, minor graphical and sound issues | CoolKirby |
| 3.0-235 | Mac OS X 10.7.3 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.7GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6770M | Graphical errors render the game virtually unplayable. That is, if you're lucky enough to even get the game past the main menu. | Swiftwinter |
| 3.0-651 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.9GHz | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | Cutscene audio cuts out. Otherwise runs playably at 18-30FPS. (14-30FPS During Boss Fights) | ACE013 |
| 3.0-692 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom II X4 810 | ATI Radeon HD 4600 | Works fine, but a lot of lag spikes. Cutscene audio is out of sync, maybe because of the FPS issues that I'm getting. | Goldtex |
| 3.5-1344 | Windows 7 | AMD Phemon II X4 955 @ 3.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6850 | Menus run normally and at full speed. Upon entering game, constant rhythmic lag spikes. Otherwise running fine. | WinCamXP |
| 4.0.2 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7970 | D3D9 & OGL cause the top left of the screen to be chewed up by a black & white rendering of Spongebob. Red triangles do not appear at 1x Resolution + No AA, but I'd personally take red triangles over 480p any day. AA reduces the effect on higher resolutions, but causes it on 1x. Otherwise, it plays like a charm. | WinCamXP |
| 4.0.2 | Mac OS X 10.11.2 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.4GHz | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | Lots of problems even if you do the lowest settings you can have for playable gameplay it mostly averages 30 fps (which causes stuff like audio so slow hard to hear) it makes it hard to hear music and dialogue but thats minor , its playable if you use a low tech pc like me. | mgracer48 |
| 4.0-4963 | Xubuntu 14.04 | AMD A10-5800K @ 3.8GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7660D | 1440x900 Full Speed, Sometimes drops to 48FPS in cutscenes. Be very careful with settings and game settings, turn speed up disc transfer rate off and skip EFB access from CPU off. | iBloodLust |
| 4.0-9175 | Mac OS X 10.11.2 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.4GHz | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | Game doesn't even start | mgracer48 |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | AMD FX-8320 @ 3.8GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti | Game runs perfectly. No issues if you can get past the weird red triangles. | Joshe343 |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5 3470 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 | Runs perfectly at 1080p. Enable real external frame buffer to remove the blue box and disable Scaled EFB Copy to fix the red triangles | MISSINGNO. |
