Today i'm playing the last installment in the franchise, Midnight Club LA. My first midnight club was 3 dub remix then this and then 2 and never played the first one in the series.

This is by far the most graphically improved in the series, so looking back to previous ones feels very outdated.

RPCS3 is perfectly emulated than this, but ran a lot slower than this. It had weird lighting glitch, weird behavior with the music and other graphical glitches. This is something since PS3 they've been said is hard console to develop games on.

Played on: Xenia Canary
My Rating on Playability: 3.5/5
API: D3D12

Configuration that you need to change in the toml file:

d3d12_allow_variable_refresh_rate_and_tearing = false // to avoid tearing

internal_display_resolution = 16 // ran it at the highest resolution that xbox 360 can handle

show_achievement_notification = false // disable the notification to avoid slowdown

-max_queued_frames = 3 // fixes audio delay- (DEPRECATED)

apu_max_queued_frames = 16 // fixes audio delay (Newer options in recent canary build)

hid = "xinput" // Only do that to avoid conflict when using xbox controller either emulated with x360ce or with real one

Only recommended if you applied these patches(Deltatime or 60FPS Patch(Instability might occur when this is enabled), Disable Motion blur and MSAA is the recommended):

vsync = "false" // Get rid of aggressive performance drops when you enabled deltatime patch
postprocess_antialiasing = "fxaa_extreme"
postprocess_ffx_fsr_sharpness_reduction = 0.667
postprocess_scaling_and_sharpening = "fsr" or just setting it to bilinear if you happen to not like the visual of it and you can ignore the settings above it except anti aliasing.

Patches for Complete Edition(Right click and then save link as): https://github.com/xenia-canary/game-patches/raw/main/patches/545407F8%20-%20Midnight%20Club%20Los%20Angeles%20(Complete%20Edition).patch.toml

NOT Recommended Settings:

d3d12_readback_resolve = true // fixes vinyls not showing and also photos you took, but with big performance penalty and weird graphical glitches that is only occur at the title screen(it's gone when it goes to time transition)
