Test configurations on Windows:

Environment			Configurations			Comments	Tester
Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
PAL	Windows 7 Home Premium x64	AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Auzentech X-Fi Forte	0.9.8 r4600	GSdx 4600 (MSVC 15.00, SSE2) 0.1.16	SPU2-X r4600m 1.4.0 LilyPad svn (r4510) 0.10.0	BIOS: Europe v01.60, FPS: 10-50, FMVs such as the one at the intro crash the game (skippable with START), with later ones preventing players from finishing it. There seems to be noticeable slowdown (down to ~10FPS) when reading from the disc, though after loading is complete the game plays smoothly with only some very minor graphical glitches in the battle action icons.	24.132.197.33
PAL	Windows 8	Intel Core i7 3770 (non-K, +0.4GHz boost) NVIDIA GeForce GTX670 2GB	r5350	GSdx r5334	SPU2-X r5324 LilyPad r5282	Perfectly playable (so far, first few missions) since 1.0.0, with some minor occasional sound and graphics glitches. There also seems to be a grid of sorts visible in menus and cutscenes, though it's easy enough to ignore. Seems to cause crashes with SPU2-X set to XAudio2 on my system, but DirectSound is fine.
