Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r6758	Mac OS X 10.6.8	Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.13GHz	nVidia GeForce 9400M	Very laggy, 20-30 FPS, but otherwise accurate emulation	Ac
r7367	Windows 7 x64	AMD Phenom II 720 BE @ 3.2GHz	ATI Radeon HD 4850	Working perfect	ultramann
r7719	Windows 7 x64	AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.65GHz	nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti	Works great, but crashes randomly and save states don't work. Play the PC version instead.	AgainstYourThought
3.0-373	Mac OS X 10.7.2	Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6750M	Smooth.	jedivulcan
3.0-688	Mac OS X 10.7.4	Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6750M	Still smooth. Works great.	jedivulcan
3.0-688	Mac OS X 10.7.4	Intel Core i5-2435M @ 2.4GHz	Intel HD Graphics 3000	20 FPS. The game runs slow. Unplayable.	jedivulcan
^3.0-636	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i5-2430M @ 2.4GHz	nVidia GeForce GT 540M	Looks beautiful with higher resolutions and anti aliasing. However, doing this makes the frame rate drop. Runs smoothly on lower settings. Couldn't handle DSP LLE, but runs fine with DSP HLE. If your not playing this on a laptop (like me, heh) I am positive that you can handle the higher settings	theredpikmin
4.0-2575	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz	nVidia GeForce GT 640	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 50 FPS but with OpenGL it's a bit faster, but it could be my CPU since others are not having issues with slowdown. Just get the PC version if you have the same issue as me.
