I've tried a few configurations and I can't manage it. Can anyone get the game to run properly, to look like it does in screenshots? Or am I hoping for too much from an emulator.
Do you mean the ship in screenshot 2? This is opponents ship. If you tap the cam icom you can look at it.
You can try no$gba and no$zoomer. Cnaging the renderer between nocash and OpenGl might help. And also try to mess around with the Ex in the Extra option.
