NTSC-U	Windows	Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.2Ghz ATI Radeon 7970 3GB	1.1.0 r5492	GSDX	SPU2-X ?	US v01.60 (07/02/2002), All Recommend + MTVU, Works in Hardware - (Somewhat) & Software, Ingame cutscenes show a black screen with sound in Hardware switching to Software mode fixes this but also makes the fps tank 12 to 25 at most is what i was getting with EE going from 95 to 100% at times ingame is another story hardware kinda works. The screen is flashing constantly software shows everything fine but depending what's on screen i got 40 to 23 fps	riku44
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 at 50% speed., Ingame videos are blank screens if gsdx is in hardware mode. Looks fine in software mode. Speed may not be 100%, but the game is still technically playable, as it can be played from start to finish.	General-Plot
PAL	Windows	Intel Core2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16Ghz Nvidia GTS 250 512MB	git 05 06 2014 1.3.0	GSdx MSVC 18.00, SSE41	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad (0) 0.11.0	Always the same: this amazing game refuses to display anything 3D in hardware mode, only software looks good..., Status	Parotaku
PAL	?	? ?	0.9.8	GSDX r4600(with DirectX11)	SPU2-X r4600 SSSPSX Pressure mod 1.7.1	BIOS: Europe 2.00, HACKS: none used, This game does only work, if you use the Bugfix "try to skip MPEG videos"(at least that is the translated german name of the fix)	Mel1993
NTSC-U	Windows 7 SP1 x64	Intel i5-2500 AMD HD6850	v1.2.1-728-g7328e55	GSDX Software (9/11)	SPU2-X Lilypad	While using GSdx9/11 hardware intro runs at full speed but immediately it goes to the first cut-scene (which can be skipped) it tanks to ~10 fps, plus a switch to software mode is needed to properly render the cut-scene as well as the game. While in-game FPS went up but still to slow to enjoy ~25-30 fps. GSdx9 software mode + setting the preset to "Aggressive" makes the game playable.	Joder666
