No mate, the game itself works great with this mod ,it's editing the ini file that causes the problem, nothing to do with sh3 at all!!

But a lot of other games stutter/lockup, and my TV card just displays black, I tested this 4 times to make sure, even lowering the setting to 2100 instead of 2995 still had the problems, as soon as I remove the /3Gb switch the TV card and other games work fine!

Such is life!!
