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. Requires software mode to fix the graphics (MipMaps), the game can be quite slow. I achieved pretty much constant full speed by putting VU Cycle Stealing to 1 and 4 extra rendering threads for software mode (this game seems to like them a bit more than normal)	refraction
?	?	Intel Core i7-3770k @ 4.5GHz AMD Radeon R9 290X	1.2.1	GSdx 1.2.1	SPU2-X 1.2.1	If using Hardware Mode: Will caused garbled textures. Use Software Mode. Some textures will appear fuzzy at distance but is fully playable. Using version 1.2.1	OmegaNull

NTSC USA V2.2	Windows 8.1	AMD A8 6600K @ 4.4GHz AMD Sapphire R9 270X	1.3.0	GSdx	SPU2-X	Used almost all recommended speedhacks, EE cyclerate 1, and VU stealing 1. Ran great, I found it better with EE cyclerate set to 1. (Notice done in Software mode)	Apihl1000

Known Issues

Broken textures

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mip-mapping in hardware mode.
• Workaround: Run the game in software mode (F9), this however will cause a considerable speed hit. To minimize the speed hit, set "Extra rendering threads" to one less than the number of CPU cores that you have.
