Test configurations on Windows:

Environment			Configurations			Comments	Tester
Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
NTSC-U/PAL	?	Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.4 Ghz GeForce GTX 285	0.9.8 r4463	GSDX r4459	SPU2-X 1.4.0 Lilypad 0.10.0	BIOS: USA v2.00, Needs a powerful machine to play right. The cutscenes are the biggest problem. •Setting the SPU2-X Synchronizing Mode to "Async" may speed up the cutscenes but can cause stutter and out of sync problems in game., •Doesn't respond well to big resolutions.	Machina
NTSC-U	Windows 7 64-Bit	Intel i7 @ 3.4Ghz Sapphire R9 290X 4GB	1.2.1 r5873	GSdx 10 (Software)0.1.16 r5875	SPU2-X r5875 Lillypad 0.11.0 r5875	The game still has the same glitches that were present in 0.9.8. I would recommend switching to hardware mode for the cut scenes for the up-scaling benefits, but switching to software mode for the game play. Bios v 2.0 was used.	Zrooney

Known Issues

Post-processing missing

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: Post-processing is disabled in GSdx by default for this game due to huge slowdowns and bad glitches on screen.
• Workaround: Only software mode (F9) in GSdx plays the game correctly but it's much slower and uglier.

Black Spots

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: Actually the problem is not the black spots in the jungle parts but the ambient/postprogress is not blending well so it appears overbright leaving the spots where it wouldn't blend as dark visible spots.
• Workaround: Only software mode (F9) in GSdx plays the game correctly but it's much slower and uglier.
