Problems
Enhancements
Texture Filtering
Forced Texture Filtering can cause odd lines in the faces of characters; it should not be used for this game. Anisotropic Filtering will cause the same issue in D3D.

r6519 | Windows XP | AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ | NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT | Full playable but the cinematics go slowly | |
3.0 | Ubuntu 11.04 | Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 430 | Perfect, EFB scaled copies must be off | asdf31416 |
r7714 | Mac OS X 10.7.1 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6750M | Perfect except for final cinematic which needs VSync | |
r7714 | Ubuntu 11.10 | Intel Pentium E2200 @ 2.2GHz | Intel G33 | Crashed after the introductory scene when cell shading was attempted. | |
3.0-377 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3230M @ 3.2GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | Framerate perfect, have not completely tested it out. I'll report back. | Njord |
3.5 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-950 @ 4.1GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 @ .9GHz | Almost perfect, the only problem remaining is the sound, many many glitches. | Titouf |
3.5 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom X4 965 @ 3.4GHz | ATI Radeon HD 4850 | Almost perfect, some sound problems. | Gonner |
3.5-367 | Windows XP | Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2.6GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6750 | Perfect | |
3.5-375 | Windows 8 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 310M | Perfect, sound problems are gone, even with HLE. | Nar |
3.5-1063 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom X4 965 @ 3.4GHz | ATI Radeon HD 4850 | Played till the end. Perfect. | Abalaburn |
4.0.2 | Windows 8.1 | AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6850 | Until now the game is running perfectly, very stable. Internal resolution at 4x. | guilhermerx7 |
4.0.2 | Windows 7 | AMD A8-3850 @ 2.9GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6550D | Some minor audio stutters, especially on the Choose Units screen, but otherwise perfect. | |
4.0.2 | Arch Linux | Intel Core i7-2600 @ 2.6GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 | Perfect, other than the "Force texture filtering" bug. | 10n45 |
4.0.2 | Windows 8.1 | Intel Xeon X5650 @ 2.67GHz | AMD Radeon HD 5770 | Great, other than a little audio glitching, which doesn't happen too often." | |
4.0-100 | Windows 8.1 | Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 750M | Occasional crashes but overall pretty great 4/5. | TheFoxyBox |
4.0-1871 | Windows 8.1 | Intel Core i7-3770K @ 4.6GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7970 | Problems with character sprites when setting Anti-Aliasing or Anisotropic Filter to values other than None and 1x respectively. Some combinations of the internal resolution and AA can bypass this issue. | |
4.0-5935 | Windows 7 | AMD FX-8350 @ 4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 | A near flawless emulation. Perfect run throughout the entire game at 4x native with only a few framedrops. Texture Filtering bug is still present but it doesn't really affect the game and is easily avoidable. | Combatheros |
4.0-9173 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5-4210M @ 2.6GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 820M | It ran almost perfect on my laptop. It might suffer small and unnoticeable slowdowns in battle, but fullspeed in everything else. The 16:9 Widescreen code works wonderfully, the only defect is that it makes some menus show a little line in the middle. It's better to avoid non-integer resolutions (it would make the portraits more pixelated) and Force Pixel Filter (it shows lines in portraits, use shaders instead). I tested the PAL version with OpenGL mode, Resolution 3x, Widescreen AR code and FXAA shader. | Intruso |
