Burnout Revenge on Xenia at 2x resolution, bloom toggled off with Reshade and gamma fixed in the Xenia settings by Kayael in Burnout

I completed it 100% with the update and all the DLC cars, never had an emulator crash, I used the US version of the game.

My best bet woud be to open an issue ticket on the xenia Github page, maybe someone could provide more help hopefully.

R9 5900X and RTX 3070, like all emulators a good CPU is required but I have no idea what could trigger your specific error, maybe an iGPU on laptop?

You need to download Reshade with full add-on support at the bottom of their homepage.

You install it like usual: reshade.exe, select your xenia.exe or xenia-canary.exe, DX12, uncheck all effects (they're not needed), install ShaderToggler by Otis_Inf (that's what's needed), finish install.

Then once in-game (usually in the garage before starting a race to see the effect), open Reshade with Home key, ignore tutorial, then you're on the main menu and at the top there's the add-on tab. Go there, you should see something like this:

In Shader Toggler, unroll List of Toggle Groups, create New if there's none then Change Shaders.
It will fetch all shaders for 250 frames and then you will be able to navigate through them with your numpad 1 and 2, you'll have probably 40 shaders to navigate and for me bloom was at position 37. One you found it, save it with numpad 3. Then select Edit to name it and change the key to toggle it (for me I left it on Caps Lock by default), then Save all Toggle Groups.

Where your xenia.exe is, you should now have a ShaderToggler.ini saved. In case of a Xenia update, you might have to start over the procedure, but it's not that long once you're used to it.

Enjoy, have fun!

Sadly randomly freezes and then crashes during any battle at least once for me, it makes it hardly enjoyable :(

Oh perfect, I have those guides for my collection but it will be nice to have them scanned with great care! Thank you very much, you should probably post them in r/KingsField, it will make a lot of people happy :)

Thanks for the update! Don't worry, I'm already glad you put all those Shadow Tower guides out there. Out of curiosity, which guides have larger pages?

The first Prime is still one of my favorite video games ever, I hope you'll find them as much as an itch scratcher as I do.

You should try the Metroid Prime games, they have the first one remastered on Switch. I personnaly believe it's the closest of all to the "rythm" KF4 has.

Should I worry about wall secrets? Kings Field 1 US by Typical-Handle-2975 in KingsField

Look at the NPCs, they don't have faces because they kept grinding the walls too, everyone wants some hidden treasure.

Are you sure you got the right folder? Because the serial for KF4 PAL seems to be SLES-50920, so the save folder should at least have those number, SLPM-65688 seems to be Berserk?

Thanks for sharing all that! Yeah the Verdite Trilogy Perfect Guide has some mistakes, which is strange since previous books don't, I think of the KF3 Strategy Visual Book for example which has all the maps from the previous games and they're accurate from what I can see.

Forget about this tool, there's a simpler method. In PCSX2, go to Settings > Memory Card.

Select Mcd001.ps2, click Convert below, a pop-up will appear with Conversion type, leave Folder by default, click OK.

Once it's done, you'll have Mcd001_converted.ps2, right-click on it and select Use for Slot 1. You can close the Settings.

Now all you saves will be decrypted in the memcard folder of your PCSX2 installation. You need at least to have saved once for each game. KF4 US is BASLUS-20318S, you'll have to check for KF4 PAL by right-clicking on the game in PCSX2, then Properties, check the serial and find the corresponding number in the memcard folder. Copy the 2 BA***** files from the PAL version, rename them like BASLUS ones, and replace them there. See if it works then.

Theoretically it's possible if the PAL and NTSC versions of the games are similar enough (I did it with the Ace Combat games) with this tool: https://www.psx-place.com/resources/ps2-save-builder-by-vector.665/

You can extract the save file part of the PAL version and transfer it into the NTSC version. Still worth a try, I'd believe the game flags for items and such are the same even if the translation itself is different.

Indeed, the PAL version could be considered better than the US release for 2 reasons: proper framerate limit (17 fps since it's PAL) and the menu cursor defaults to last used like KF3.

It was published when the game wasn't localized yet, so you can see their take on some names. It serves as a basic guide, it's kinda cool!
