I would highly recommend playing the game on a Nightly PCSX2 build. Especially if you're considering playing it with HD Textures.

You can adjust the effects to your liking by pressing Home.
You can also change the keybinds in the Settings menu as well, like toggling the effect on or off.
If there's anything missing, let me know.


Installation:
1. Place the Reshade Preset anywhere. I recommend placing it anywhere in your PCSX2 folder.
2. Start PCSX2 and press Home and select the preset.
3. Vualá
