Problems

Intro Video

The intro video that plays after the Nippon Professional Baseball logo shows nothing but a white screen with default settings. This is fixed by setting External Frame Buffer (XFB) to Real in graphics configuration; however, this will lock the game at 1x internal resolution. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
5.0-5314	Windows 10	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060	The only problem is that Real XFB is needed for the intro videos to display. While in game, when different players are introduced by the announcer at the beginning of each inning, the ends of their names can get cut off; this happens on console as well, but maybe it's a bit worse here. Otherwise I didn't notice anything wrong with default settings, runs full speed. Played for about an hour or two without any problems.	Xerxes
5.0-9859	Windows 10	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060	Intro videos are indeed fixed with default settings now. Perfect game.	Xerxes
