Framerate

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: See if there's a way to make these display properly. Maybe a devkit is required?

CPU, VU and TV framerate.

Displays the CPU FPS which seems to jump back and forth between 25.00 and 33.33, as well as VU and TV which seems to always display inf or -inf depending on how it's loaded in the lower-right corner. Likely intended for the PS2 port given the VU (Vector Unit) display which is a part of its hardware.

Oddities

French Logo in the Asian Release

The Asian release (ULAS-42085), which includes all of the languages present in the European release along with Chinese, has an oversight where if you try to play it in French, it incorrectly loads the Japanese logo instead, with all of the French text.

Another thing to note is how "compressed" the Japanese logo looks, which is also visible in the actual Japanese release (ULJM-05212) as well.
