| --gs-use-mipmap || 0, 1 || Enables mipmapping support. Can be used to fix graphics. Needs --gs-kernel-cl="mipmap" for full mipmapping support. If upscaling, however, --gs-kernel-cl-up="mipmap2x2" is also needed. It works best on War of the Monsters emulator, as can be seen in the Ratchet series' mipmapping issues responding only to this emu's mipmapping functionality.|| --gs-use-mipmap=1

| --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
