|Sound=SPU2-X (2015-09-12)
|Comments=With official GSDx plugin, the game is playable on Software-rendering mode. It is usually about 10–20 FPS slower than hardware-rendering (with 4 threads). With custom plugin, the game is playable on Hardware-rendering mode without bad graphical glitches, and yes, the custom plugin works on newer PCSX2-builds after putting SDL.dll to the emulator's root directory. Although the game is not graphically intensive, it is still much slower than other games with similar graphics quality, but runs at playable speeds. Some slowdowns can be expected.

== Trivia ==
* Original names: '''ダージュ オブ ケルベロス -ファイナルファンタジーVII-''' (SLPM-66271), '''ダージュ オブ ケルベロス -ファイナルファンタジーVII- インターナショナル''' (SLPM-66629)
* Also known as '''Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII International''' (JP)
* This game uses the BIOS to detect widescreen and language settings. All versions of the game will default to Japanese unless full boot is used so that the game can detect the language selected in the BIOS.
