Version Tested 1.0.3

Performance Intro: (~45-50 fps) - Since the game only shows still images for the intro, it hovers between 40-50 fps. Main Menu: (~20-25 fps) - The main menu goes to around 20-25fps when navigating and selecting options. Cut Scenes: (~25 fps) - The frame stays at around 25 fps with audio playing fine. Gameplay: (~25-30 fps) - The frames stays at around 25-30 fps range when enemies are on screen but can hit around 40-50 fps when there is no enemies on screen but not often.

Issues

• The game freezes with distorted audio on Stage 1. One way to bypass it is when you reach the ADX screen, press the Select button and change one setting (e.g. I just go to Advanced Settings and change the setting for Self-Modifying Code Checks to another option from the previous one. So, if you had it set to Off, switch to Full and vise versa). From here, select the Arcade Mode option on the main menu and skip the cut scene by pressing the Start button or let it run completely.
• The game displays corrupt text if you enable Use Mipmaps, Use Simple Shaders, VSync, Delay Frame Swapping or Native Depth Interpolation.

Why in game low? Also you should just stick to a different Self-Modifying Code setting if the game requires it rather than just keeping swapping it.

The reason I labeled it as "In-Game (Low)" was because the game freezes all the time on Stage 1.

To get around the freeze, I had to restart the game and change one setting on the emulator before starting Stage 1. I only chose Self-Modifying Code as an example because I was trying to see if it helped make the game better but, it didn't make a difference. Of course, you don't have to use Self-Modifying Code but any one setting change will work to getting around the freeze on Stage 1.

Here's a link to the video of the freeze and how I got around it: https://youtu.be/Thv4CE2MJxU

Overall, if the freeze didn't happen on Stage 1, I would've given the status as "In-Game (High)".

SMC type doesn't matter at all, seems that during the loading screen before starting a mission if you press select during that black screen then just press select again the game runs just fine, and I also agree with your settings I put my downclock at 2.960 and it runs pretty dang well.

NTSC GDI settings used: Per Triangle, auto frame skipping maximum, vsync, delay frame swapping, Neon SIMD, Self modifying code-Off, multi threaded emulation.

Can vary 30- 60 fps depending on scene and enemies

Would label playable
