This was played on the latest "PCSX2 Nightly", following settings were used: https://imgur.com/a/ZBmfVIh

To play in Progressive Scan Mode hold "Triangle + X" while turning on the console or starting the game in an emulator.
Progressive Scan is only available on the NTSC-US and NTSC-JP releases of the game.
It is not available in the PAL version, which only has a 50 Hz mode. (really a shame, as the PAL version has a fixed AI for your allies and the enemies)

The Progressive Scan Mode removes the blurry interlacing of the PS2 console and makes the game look as sharp and clear as if it were a PC game.

NTSC-US - 4th Dimension Difficulty Save Game: https://www.mediafire.com/file/v5oltokslc45wtn/Mem1.ps2/file

PAL (all PAL regions) 4th Dimension Difficulty Save Game: https://www.mediafire.com/file/x0f5bv72srj14fh/Mem2.ps2/file

Put the file into the "memcards" folder of "PCSX2 Nightly", then start the game, enter the "Battle Trophies" sub-menu, load the trophies, exit back to the "Main Menu" and start a new game!

"Full Active" Mode can be found in the config menu on page 2.
Outfits can be changed in the "Status" menu with the Triangle button.

Please note:
There is a bug in Progressive Scan Mode when you return to the Airyglyph Aqueducts at a later point in the game. (when you get the Disintegration Bombs)
When you try and enter the bridge area with the single slime monster on it, the game will crash.
To avoid this, save your game and restart in the normal 60 Hz NTSC mode for that section, once you have completed the Aqueducts map and collected all the treasure, leave and save your game again and restart the game in Progressive Scan Mode.
