Issues fixed
Crash on startup
The original disc version of the game usually tends to crash on startup when run by a newer OS. This isn't permanent though, and can be fixed by opening and closing the game a few dozen times.
Link book videos display solid white & general instability
- This fix can also remove any potential FPS issues
