Graphics by GSdx: 0.1.16 (Software mode)
Sound by SPU2-X: 2.0.0

Comments: Do NOT enable EE Cyclerate hack, DO enable VU Cycle Stealing it is a MASSIVE speedup. Widescreen hack may cause corrupt text on both Japanese and European copies. Game slows down to single-digit FPS on *actual hardware* so if your sound doesn't slow down, it's probably running at full speed. If you don't use software mode and you see many lines that look like interlacing, you may want to adjust "Skipdraw" under advanced. Hack comments: EE Cyclerate 0, VU Cycle Stealing 3, INTC Spin Detection, Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag Hack and MTVU.

PC specs used to test the game:

CPU: Q6600 @ 2.88GHz
GPU: Nvidia 550GTX-Ti

Comments: It's perfectly playable with a high internal resolution on a better computer.
