Enabling this option will emulate the Xbox's NV2A GPU using OpenGL instead of passing calls to DirectX. It may provide more accurate results, but is currently marginally slower than the default HLE approach. ### What is LTCG (Link-Time Code Generation)? -LTCG is an optimization that may be applied to games, especially later in the Xbox's lifespan. It makes patching functions much more difficult: the only way to *properly* emulate these games would be to use LLE GPU. That doesn't mean it can't be emulated using HLE, but the results may vary. +LTCG is an optimization that may be applied to games, especially later in the Xbox's lifespan. This results in slight deviations in the way Functions are represented in the XBE.
