Yakuza Kenzan
60 FPS patch
- Author: Whatcookie
- Patch version: 1.0
- Notes: Has a lot of issues, not recommended for general use. Needs vblank rate set to 120hz.
- Strafe moving is at double speed, even for enemies
- Grabbing an enemy moves you twice as fast
- Some sprite animations, like triangles above NPCs, are animated twice the speed
- Enemies attack more often
- Some minigames may act weirdly, some stuff is at double speed others aren't
- Cutscenes still play at double speed

SPU MLAA
SPU MLAA removal patch
- Author: Whatcookie
- Patch version: 1.5
- Notes: Removes Morphological Anti-Aliasing, known as MLAA, a form of post process anti-aliasing which is done using the CELL's SPUs instead of the RSX for extra performance. These patches are generally game and version agnostic, and currently work with 37 titles.
