{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-2575|OS=Windows 7 x64|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=nVidia GeForce GT 640|result=There is an issue concerning invisible text when speaking to people and interacting with the monitors. Adjusting the Texture Cache Slider does nothing to make the text visible again. Switching to Direct3D could have fixed the problem, but I don't remember if that worked and that backend has worse slowdown as well. The graphics don't work properly without EFB copies set to texture. Game runs with slowdown to 50FPS but with OpenGL it's a bit faster, but it could be my CPU since others are not having issues with slowdown.|tester=Yugix}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-4488|OS=Windows 7 x64|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=nVidia GeForce GT 640|result=The issue with invisible text is persistent on some screens on the city adventure field, and now the HUD seems be invisible as well in these instances, including the pause menu. The levels that are effected are Emerald Coast part two, and the Egg Carrier adventure field after the sky deck outside. Outside of those areas, the issue doesn't exist elsewhere no longer. The game runs at fullspeed with some very minor slowdown here and there that mainly happens with a bunch of stuff on screen. Direct3D is much worse with the invisible HUD and text issue so use OpenGL.|tester=Yugix}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-5730|OS=Windows 8.1 x64|CPU= Intel Core i7-2600k @ 4GHz|GPU=nVidia GeForce GTX 970|result=Game runs full speed as far as I've played on both the D3D and OGL backends at 4xIR and no extra effects added. Text is still invisible in areas of the game but the majority seems to be present (only really tested under the OGL backend); this can be annoying if using the Japanese voices in conjunction with English text depending on when the text decides to not appear and how important said text is. Those who understand the language they've selected will do fine and, as I've said, the game is essentially fully playable under either backend using this build.|tester=TehGuy}}
