Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
3.0	Windows 7	Intel Core i7-2600K @ 4.5 GHz	Intel HD 3000	Pretty stable FPS, but does only displays picture some places. The characters are messed up. Sounds however are working flawless.	23732
5.0	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-6600K @ 3.5 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570	FPS can go anywhere between 24 to 400+ FPS when loading. The FPS is locked to 30 in levels. Sounds are working flawless.	Jasjar
5.0-15993	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6770	Playable. Direct3D 11, 3xIR, 1xAF, 1x MSAA. The in-game menus can slow from 60fps to 18fps and take about a minute to load, and the cutscenes at the start of training are that slow as well. Sometimes the cutscenes go to 18fps midway through, as if something was loading. The training text popups launch and exit slowly. Lowering to 1xIR, using hacks, and turning off enhancements like Scaled EFB Copy/Per-Pixel Lighting all have no effect on this. However, once I get past that, the levels themselves (locked to 30 FPS) run perfectly at 3xIR even on this decade-old hardware.	SpectraNocturne
5.0-16793	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	Playable. Compared to the previous test with the AMD Radeon HD 6770, the slowdown during menus has improved from an 18 FPS minimum out of 60 FPS to a 37 FPS minimum.	SpectraNocturne
