Shenmue 2 PowerVR Sort Issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The game (English voice over version) seems to run quite nicely so far, apart 
from some minor Triangle sorting, shadow and lighting issues:

PowerVR Sort:

Sort=Off is the best option, but will break immersion at the start and 
beginning of each cutscene because you only see Ryo's Eyeballs and Joy has no 
hair for a short moment. Sort=Off also causes minor issues in the diary, the 
text on the left side is always shown in bold but it schould't.

Sort=Per Strip causes Ryo's hair to always be transparent (which is wrong) but 
fixes the diary

PowerVR Sort=Per Triangle causes Ryo's hair to always be transparent (which is 
wrong) and the diary text seems to be bold randomly.

PowerVR Modifier Volumes need to be turned off because shadows are heavily 
glitched

The Corona around Streetlights at night seems to cause minor graphical glitches 
too.
