| --gs-use-clut-merge || 0, 1 ||  Enabling CLUT merging helps improve how the emulator processes textures that use indexed color palettes. It ensures more accurate emulation of the PS2’s color handling. It sometimes restores missing graphical elements, and fix texture flickering (prominently flickering shadows or UI elements).  It prevents Spyro's shadow from flickering in Enter the Dragonfly. Enabling it is the accurate, albeit slow option. || --gs-use-clut-merge=1

| --gs-flush-ad-xyz || always, safe, safeZwrite, off, 0 || Force a primitive flush when a framebuffer is also an input texture. This fixes some processing effects, but it can sometimes be heavy on the GS in terms of performance. GTA: SA, and Jak 3 use this command. || --gs-flush-ad-xyz=safe
