Test configurations on Windows:

Environment			Configurations			Comments	Tester
Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
PAL	Windows	Intel Core i7 @ 3.8Ghz Nvidia GTX 570 1368MB	1.1.0 r5829	GSDX	SPU2-X ?	Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), MTVU, INTC Spin Detection, Enable Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag Hack, Still Playable. Game works fine at a good speed. I believe in the later stages (some of) there is an overlay of corruption which can be solved with software mode or somewhat with skipdraw, but i can't remember the setting for that.	refraction
NTSC-U	Windows	Intel Core i7 @ 3.4Ghz Nvidia GTX 285 768MB	24 02 2013 1.1.0 r5576	GSdx 5570 SSE41 [23 02 2013]	SPU2-X 2.0.0 [24 02 2013] LilyPad 0.11.0 [13 01 2013]	Runs above full speed., Draw distance is bugged in gsdx hardware mode. Looks fine in software mode.	General-Plot
NTSC-U	Windows 7	AMD FX 6300 @ 4.4Ghz AMD Radeon HD 7870	1.3.0	GSdx	SPU-2-X LilyPad	Game works very well. It's pretty demanding, but EE cycle rate hack will help. MTVU will cause slowdown in some areas, and is not recommended. A few levels require software mode, but most are fine in hardware.	Blyss Sarania
NTSC-U	?	Intel® Xeon® Processor E5410 (12M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) ATI Radeon HD 5770	PCSX2 0.9.9.4627	GSdx 4643	SPU-2 r4619 LilyPad r4484	BIOS: SCPH39001, HACKS: Works with all speedhacks., Works perfectly except for a flickering filter. The vehicle sections on levels 17 and 24 are nearly unplayable due to graphical artifacts covering the screen. Enabling MTVU causes a slowdown instead of a speed up.	MyDreamName
