So I've beaten "KINGDOM HEARTS Final Mix" today and notice there hasn't really been a report for this game from 2018.
I figured i would report all my findings/issues/progress here about this game, including issues and how to possibly bypass these.
To answer most peoples direct questions. Yes, the game is fully playable and beatable from beginning to end, there are however a few things to be aware about which i list below.
Emulation settings used and recommended:
- Emu ver.: 0.0.6-8315-2bce3674
- Renderer: Vulkan
- Addition Settings: V-Sync (i noticed screen tearing, u will not need this if you don't)
All other settings where left on default and were not touched.
Encountered issues in-game and possible fixes:
- Issue: in the starting area of the game (beach) I've noticed that opening the menu might show the in-game image of the menu black. (middle area of the menu)
- Fix: This seems to have fixed itself for me, i think it had to compile it for the first time? Try opening the menu a few times, save, completely restart the emulator etc, i have since not seen the issue anymore.
- Issue: The game at times suffers from a freezing issue when u try to open the menu/save point, this seemed to appear whenever you've been to Agrabah (the dungeon part) or in Hollow Bastian (any screen where there are water bubbles in the air that you jump into)
- Fix: There is no known fix for this, online methods regarding "write color buffer/stricht rendering mode" does not solve the issue. The only thing i can advise is the save A LOT whenever you are in Agrebah, Atlantica(?) or Hollow Bastian. SO SAVE!
- Issue: The boss fight in Agrabah (Jafar 2nd form) sometimes renders completely wrong and becomes unplayable.
- Fix: No idea how i fixed this... i changed the renderer around a few times, and tried restarting it and it somehow worked (while my renderer was on vulkan again...), so this might just require you to restart a few times...
- Issue: After the final boss, you will not see the result screen
- Fix: There is no known fix. However this is a minor issue as you cannot normally save after after the final boss, the only thing you are missing out on is the result screen.
Other issues/minor issues:
- Red card soldiers in wonderland are not properly rendered
- 60fps hack works, but cut-scenes subtitles will be rendered at double speed and the gummiship mini game is also double speed. (if it causes issues, you can always go back to 30fps)
- 30fps seems to the eye to be lower fps, somewhere around 20fps with movements etc. this is however also on the actual console/ps2 version.
I hope i have helped anyone with this that is doing research on playing this game, as i was and wished there where more of these reports when i was searching for them.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask them when i'm live on https://www.twitch.tv/shadowtearx/
