Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

The CPU/GPU options are basically hacks that make a lot of games crash and misbehave. We would've removed them already if it wasn't for the fact that a few games - not a ton - are made more playable by them still. The goal is still to remove them.

The "skip buffered effects" (buffered off) option is a hack that tries to analyze the way the game is rendering and skip parts of it to render faster. On a weak device, this can give you a much-needed FPS boost. It's still a hack and not recommended.

Buffered rendering is the use case I recommend.

I know that Dissidia has ghosting, and it's the same ghosting that is actually present on the PSP. Some people don't like it, but it's simply an intentional effect used in the game. Have you compared these areas with an actual PSP's rendering? Can you upload some nearby save data so I can quickly look at these same areas? (I don't have final mix, though, only the original.... so the save might not work for me.)

I'm not sure about the mirror - that looks like a bug for sure. It'd be great if you wanted to use the GE debugger to identify what's going on there:

It looks like a blending issue, but it could be a logic op issue or even alpha testing. I think we did fix a small bug related to a combination of those since v1.2.2, so you might try the latest git build (on the downloads page) in case it was already fixed.

Also, what graphics card are you using, and have you updated its drivers? We use features like "dual source blending" which aren't available on some very old cards. If you go to Settings -> Tools -> System information, look at the API version near the bottom. If it's < v3.3.0, then your card or drivers could definitely be the problem.

Also, if you're using Direct3D 9 instead of OpenGL, that generally has more bugs and issues, and supports less things (Direct3D 9 doesn't even support dual source blending properly), so it will usually look worse.
