    Default Annoying vertical lines in games [PCSX2]

    Hey guys.

    I'm pretty new to this emulator stuff, and I just downloaded PCSX2 to get my nostalgia fix.
    I've tried four games so far, and just one of them are running as they're supposed to. (Smuggler's Run, great game)

    These vertical lines appear in both Need For Speed Underground 2 and Hot Pursuit 2.
    Extremely annoying and totally unplayable.

    Also, in a game called Stuntman, the game runs great, but there's textures missing all over the place, like people in cutscenes looking like naked manequins, buildings looking like cardboard boxes etc.

    Any idea how to fix this? I've tried lots of different graphic options, but nothing seems to work.

    Use software mode not hardware. Lines and other glitches might go away but it's possible you might notice some lag.

    You could also try changing hardware render settings...
    for D3D9/D3D11 - Set Skipdraw hack to 1. for OpenGL - Enable HW depth

    It worked on Hot Pursuit, but a lot of lag on Underground.
    Thanks for the help!

    People really need to start using the compat list over at pcsx2's site, it has both wiki and forum links for most games that help with issues just like this

    there may even be a few hints on getting Underground running faster, not looked so not sure

    EDIT depending on your specs the game should run full speed after a little look at the notes for Underground and Underground 2
