Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
r5000 | Windows 7 | AMD A6-3400M @ 2.4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6650M | Works fine with dual-core enabled. It runs too slow for this machine, though. I played nearly the entire game with no issues other than cutscene audio issues. | Starscream |
3.0-811 | Mac OS X 10.7.5 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6750M | Not working. I get an endless white and silent screen at launch. I tried default settings with different combinations of DSP HLE or LLE, all 3 CPU engines (Interpreter, JIT Recompiler and JITIL experimental recompiler) and enabling/disabling dual core: same result in all cases (except for displayed framerate). A few times, the emulator crashed when quitting. | Nolendil |
3.5-1101 | Mac OS X 10.7.5 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6750M | Playable but slow. The framerate is usually around 20-30FPS in-game and 40FPS in menus on this computer, which produces choppy sound. I played all the tutorial fights (Pirgos training) and didn't see any other issue. | Nolendil |
5.0-9 | Windows 10 x64 | Intel Core i5-3570k @ 4.5GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | Running at 100% speed on DX11, x4 internal resolution, no AA/AF. Needs dual core disabled, otherwise the game will hang at the first fight or upon entering the world map for the first time. RealXFB is needed to display videos. | Turnspit |
