  • SPU2-X 2.0.0 (r5830)
  • LilyPad 0.11.0 (r5875)
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz, (BIOS: USA 2.00) Plays amazingly well at 60 FPS at all times and without any serious glitch I noticed.

Minor Bugs: •Experienced Texture corruption when changing scenes, but solved it by changing the "D3D Internal Resolution" to "Custom" and forcing "Custom resolution" to "1920x1080" •Some 2D elements are a bit streched, but 3D elements are perfect and with the correct aspect ratio. (Related to the 16:9 ratio I'm using) •Minor Transparency related issue: In battle, character shadows are a bit glitched (Related to the HD Resolution I'm using). Can be solved by switching to Software mode (But I prefer to live with it and play in HD)

NTSC-J Windows
  • Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.30 GHz
  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 @ 2 GB
1.5.0 (git 21-04-2016) GSdx SSE41 1.0.0

  • LilyPad 0.11.0 (2016-04-21, 21:07:17)
Working OK and looking good.
PAL Windows
  • Intel Core i5 @ 3.30 GHz
  • AMD Radeon HD 6000 series
v1.5.0 (dev-949) Default Default Works great, needs Alpha Stencil hack for minor graphical issues when using Direct3D11 Hardware renderer.
