Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge [BLJM61010]

I can confirm that with libsail and libssl I can bypass the Tecmo logo and go to the main menu (after booting it like 5 times), but as soon as I try to start story mode the game crashes, how many times did you have to boot it to actually go ingame?

As observed,

• 1st runner (No shader initiated before), I re-booted 2-3 times to bypass TEMCO Logo. It depends on your harddrive transfer speed.
  
• 2nd/3rd runner, I re-boot 1-2 times and so on (shader is built already).
  

For Story-Mode, use default Res. Scale 100% (720p) windowed for 1st time.  If hang/dark cutscenes, close game window. Re-boot game. story-mode will be rendered correctly. (in your case, repeating process might help)

Hint, Try moving your game & rpcs3 into SSD and re-test the process!!

Almost Playable
Gameplay FPS is stable.  Graphic/Cutscenes are well-rendered except some random fog/smoke.  Game is more playable after multi-boot.

hi, can you screen your settings pls? my game freeze after 1st cutscene

far from playable too for me, i tried like 10 time, it crash else on logo cinematic else on 1st game cinematic

hi, can you screen your settings pls? my game freeze after 1st cutscene

Setting is attached.

1st run black screen
2nd run discolor screen
3rd run correct color screen!!

When I try to run the game with these settings my whole RPCS3 crashes and says "bad magic"?
I have the problem where there's a black screen after the koei opening

0.0.12.10848, i9-10900k, 1080Ti

Able to run it at steady 60fps at 4K. But to get resolution scaling working properly, on GPU tab, change "Resolution Scaling Threshold" all the way to 1024, and check "Stretch to Display Area".

Without changing "Resolution Scaling Threshold", everything turned pink when it's not 100% resolution; Without "Stretch to Display Area", images are squeezed to 1/3 of the screen height(at 4K, 300% resolution)

See my full config at https://youtu.be/R2_QUwNS-xs

And tested on my other older PC, with i5-3570 and 1660 Super, it does stuck at a black screen after the first logo screen when I change the “Resolution Scaling Threshold” to any value other than the default 16x16. But still able to get in game with default resolution.

You launch not RE edition)) btw for me game run very good but i have 50/50 chance to game crush after scenes(cutscenes) change.

Why are you recommending people use stretch to display area? All that does is stretch the image, which is obviously awful.
Also, 1024x1024 scale threshold will make resolution scaling look worse. Only 580x580 is needed for this game.

Only 580x580 threshold is required. The higher you go the worse resolution scaling looks. Don't increase it too much. The game has an inbuilt 60fps frame-limiter, you don't need to use RPCS3's frame-limiter as it will just reduce performance slightly. Stretch to Display Area is not needed, and will only make it look horrible on non 16:9 monitors / when windowed with different aspect ratio's
