It's a modified NTSC-U with Japanese voices, but English, it's an undub ISO I found on a certain unnamed blog :P

The undub version of Star Ocean: First Departure works just like the American version for me, functional but with graphic errors, and the protagonist can't be seen.

PD: Lol, I just noticed that the characters have tails.

New build out.. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/x1FMnYot/PPSSPP.7z
Initial tests show decent speed improvements in both Sonic Rivals 2 and Dragonball Z
Thanks Aliaspider as always :)

I'll try the games again with this new version, and I'll tell you the result

I either used an older build or pressed the wrong button, I got to the title screen but it crashed. Yeah, the race is called Fellpool, part of the SO universe :P

lighting issues fixed on latest version.
Now very playable at 88-100% in-game.
For optimal settings use Frameskip 1 and uncheck Auto Frameskip.
Also check ALL boxes under “Performance”.
Some menus still have displaying issues and Mother Base menu lags hard but is fairly manageable.
The game sometimes FREEZES on you for about 10-15 seconds during gameplay even with an SD class 10 card but it always resumes where it froze up so nothing is lost.
***WORD OF ADVICE: It is a MUST to use and access Savestates if you wish to progress in the game because it will crash every time it tries to access the Memory Card at the very beginning!!***

I tried a few roms that I had stored in my computer, the result of each game was the following:

-MegaMan Powered Up works perfectly

-FIFA 14 goes black after the auto-save warning, but the console does not freeze, until you try to exit to the menu when it freezes

-Peggle rarely starts, usually freezes when you start, or when the game has to load the pegs, it's a little demanding game

-Burnout Paradise starts well, but freezes after a few seconds, also presents some lag

-Def Jam Fight For NY The Takeover gives error message, but pressing any key returns to the Homebrew Launcher, does not crash the console

-DISSIDIA Final Fantasy works perfectly, although sometimes it may show an error before starting a battle, or crashing during a battle

NOTE: The configurations were not modified, the ones that come by default were used, games were tested in the first build

During these days I will be testing more roms as possible and I will comment here the results

I just noticed that my Def Jam Fight For NY dump was incomplete, it was the reason for the error, I tried a new dump of the game and it works fine to me, but it still have some graphical errors, the game shows no text, so you can't use some menus, and at start, the game is a bit laggy, but in battle is working great.

Firmware: 5.5.1 (CBHC)
SD type and Class: SanDisc Ultra 32GB UHC-I class 10
Homebrew launcher version: 2.1 by Dimok (channel version)
Emulator version: 1.5.4-998-g08f26439c

Game: LocoRoco (USA)
Non default settings:
- Show FPS counter: FPS
Issues observed:
- Title screen is slow
- Game is even slower (5-6fps)
- Small visual glitches (textures repeating on themselves? I guess an scaling issue)
- Heavy visual glitch: LocoRoco takes up the whole screen

Tested with all graphics settings to their lowest setting:
Game seems relatively faster (~16fps on title, ~20fps on tutorial). However, the visual glitch still occurs.
Game: LocoRoco 2 (USA)
Non default settings:
- Show FPS counter: FPS
Issues observed:
- Title screen is very slow
- Game can be very slow (~17fps), got it to 25-30fps somehow
- Heavy visual glitch: LocoRoco takes up the whole screen

Tested with all graphics settings to their lowest setting:
Game seems relatively faster (steady 30fps). However, the visual glitch still occurs.

Tenchu Time of the Assassins functions, but none of the model textures appear. The sky and flower pedals are visible. I can attack enemies but I still can't see anything.

    plus if you're making brownies or lava cakes for people with dairy allergies, you should use oil instead of butter anyway
