|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.30, Runs ok, has minor issues with textures as mentioned in 'Known Issues' section of this page. I did experience some slowdowns in the Jungle area. This was particularly the case while using the OpenGL (Hardware) renderer, but this is mostly due to the bad drivers that AMD releases for OGL. Other than that it was running at full speed.
