When rendering the game above native PS2 resolution (such as 1080p or 4K), vertical bars or a blurry double-image may appear across the screen.
When upscaling the resolution to 1080p or higher, vertical black lines may appear across the screen during FMVs (cutscenes) or specific stages.
Go to the Rendering tab. Set your Internal Resolution to your preference (e.g., 3x Native for 1080p). Navigate to the Texture Offsets or Advanced Fixes/Hacks section. Enable Align Sprite or manually set the Half-Pixel Offset to Special (Texture) . This eliminates the ghosting effect on 3D models. 2. Shadow and Black Screen Fixes
Note: Shaolin Monks is notoriously demanding during co-op mode. Expect a 10-15% FPS drop when player 2 joins.
If you find the genuine prototype (you probably won’t), the fix involves hex-editing the .exe to skip the CD-check and manually copying missing .usx map files from the PS2 version. It’s less "fixing" and more "archaeological reconstruction."
When combined, this "ISO fix" yields a pseudo-native experience: 4K resolution, 60 frames per second, and online co-op—something even the original console version never had.

This usually implies a corrupted ISO file or an incompatible BIOS region. Re-verify your ISO integrity or ensure your BIOS matches the game region (e.g., a US ISO requires a US BIOS).
Ensure your Renderer is set to Vulkan or Direct3D 12 (Hardware) . If shadows remain broken, go to Advanced Settings and enable the Disable Dual Source Blending hack, or switch the blending accuracy to High . 3. Audio Stuttering and Desync Fix
