Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
NTSC-U	Windows	Intel Core i7 @ 3.4Ghz Nvidia GTX 285 768MB	16 12 2012 1.1.0 r5480-	GSdx 5442 SSE41 [29 10 2012]	SPU2-X 2.0.0 [21 11 2012] LilyPad 0.11.0 [09 10 2012]	Runs above full speed., For some odd reason, the language and text are Japanese, even though this is a US copy of the game. Various graphic glitches, but still playable.	General-Plot
NTSC-U	Windows 7 64-bit, 3 GB of RAM	AMD Phenom II X3 700e 2.4 GHz AMD Radeon HD 7700 series	1.0.0	GSdx 5334 (MSVC 16.00, SSE2) 0.1.16	SPU2-X 2.0.0 (latest) LilyPad svn (r5282) 0.11.0	BIOS: USA v01.60(07/02/2002), HACKS: Set VU0 to Super VU recompiler, VU1 to microVU, EE Cyclerate: 3, VU Cycle Stealing 3, turn on ALL speed hacks. I got the framerate up using the hardware DX9/DX11. I cannot get SSE3 or SSE4 to work under AMD. Software, you get a normal color palette and almost no fps, but under hardware, you get all kinds of glitches and full speed on the video.	Wolverine79936
NTSC-U	Windows 7 64-Bit	Intel i7 @ 3.4Ghz Sapphire R9 290X 4GB	1.2.1 r5875	GSdx 10 (Software) 0.1.16 r5875	SPU2-X r5875 Lillypad 0.11.0 r5875	Game is playable in Hardware rendering mode, however their are a lot of graphical glitches. The ones previously mentioned by Wolverine are still present. When switching to Software mode, the graphical glitches go away but the game runs extremely slow, making it barley playable in either mode. Bios v 2.0 was used.	Zrooney
NTSC-U	Windows 8.1 64-Bit	Intel Core i7 @ 4.6Ghz Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 2048MB	1.3.0 r5889	GSdx 5894 SSE41	SPU2-X 2.0.0 r5893 LilyPad 0.11.0 r5822	Runs above full speed but can be limited to native. Rendering on my machine can max out all settings at 1080p@70fps, however MSAA at any level halves framerate. Using fast boot will always send the game into a Japanese preset, booting fully stops this. This is likely becuase the game defaults Japanese unless told otherwise by the BIOS. Still have eye and other various texture issues in hardware mode, software rendering removes this problem but must drop to native resolution to have a playable 60fps.	Bushrat011899

Known Issues

Glitchy eyes and messed up colors

• Status: Active
• Type: Serious
• Description: Everyone has glitchy eyes. The colors are all messed up.
• Workaround: For the colors and glitchy eyes, you need to use a software video driver, either DX9 or DX11 software. Unfortunately, you lose your fps, it goes down to around 9fps.
