We can try as hard as we want, these kinda guys will not learn that hacks break stuff.
They'll happily click away 10 warning boxes without ever thinking about it..

The reason they probably tick them all is because they all pretty much say 'compatibal with most games, small speedup' making them believe that their game should be ok and it will speed it up I assume, I know a few of them speed up kingdom hearts without any problems..

also, this guide sucks :P

That's actually what I meant by saying that a database containing recommended settings (i.e. which hacks/settings can be safely enabled without breaking a game) for each separate title would be useful. Of course, you can find similar advices in "Post your screenshots here" branch of this forum, but a more centralized point of reference could be a big advantage.

We discussed this in length before.
Bottom line was, the emu changes too quickly, peoples hardware is too different, reports too unreliable.
A database like this would be too much work

EDIT: squal whats that sr9 build?

I take back what i said earlier.
Its was just reporting higher FPS, but it felt more sluggish.
Now i set it to lowest VU stealing, gain some fps, and the game runs smooth.

dunno if it been mentioned but enabling superVU and MicroVU at the same time cant be good, arent they ment to be deselected if the other is in use or vise versa?
