Game: Hitman: Blood Money, PAL
App: AetherSX2 v1.5-3668
Below you can find my optimal/best settings. Game is very playable. Mainly because of two cheat patches that disable some effects and therefore fix the bugged red/green shadows. Speeds up things quite a bit too. Credits for the patches go to Kojin on the PCSX2 forums. Thanks to this we can comfortably play this game at 1,5x the resolution. Unfortunately, the game suffers from heavy slowdowns when a mirrow is drawn. Not sure how this effect is rendered, maybe it's an optimization issue with the emulator or more likely, caused by the low end SoC. Also, the game runs better with OpenGL. With Vulcan the framerate is pretty unstable, depending on the scene.
