PS 2.0 support??? (Yeah I know, I'm just opening old wounds. Games apparently are starting to use them.)

Vertex Shader 2 you mean?

[leech]

Well, in the config it lists PS 1.1 (selectable), PS 1.4 (unselectable), PS 2.0 (unselectable).

Then it has several defferent options different from default.

Pure Device (whatever that means)
Hadware VP
Wait for Sync
Depth Pass
Use Cg Compiler (greyed out)
VertexShaders (which is checked)
PixelShaders 1.0 (selected)
PixelShaders 1.4 (greyed)
PixelShaders 2.0 (greyed)
Query
User Clip Planes
Bumpmaps
Skin (greyed)
Fog
FMV
VMR9
Overlay Mixer
Texture Renderer.

Then of course there are the texture settings that all have selectors for none, Bilinear, Trilinear, Anisotropic.

Any ideas on what some of these options do, and more specifically why those stated are greyed out so you can't select them with the Parhelia (besides of course the obvious answer of "They're DirectX 9 features and aren't supported by the Parhelia's drivers." 'cause that's pretty damned obvious.)

Parhelia only has PS1.3, so it will default back to PS1.0. Cg is an nV invention, but is supposed to be supported by other IHVs (who knows when Matrox will pick up on it)

PureDevice??? Skin???

That was my thoughts. I knew about the Cg thing, but Skin and Pure Device? The game looks good, I'll give it that much. My brother said that the Playstation 2 version was quite buggy.
