{{testing/entry|revision=3.0|OS=Arch Linux|CPU=AMD Phenom X6 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460|result=PAL version tested; Only problems were encountered with the sound, the rest of the game works perfect.|tester=Istar Eldritch}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0|OS=Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion|CPU=Intel Core i7 @ 2.93GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5750|result=PAL version tested; Both background music and cut scene voices crackle occasionally. Lots of tinkering with audio settings to reduce occurrence, e.g. using LLE, disabling audio throttle, etc. Patched to 30FPS works great.|tester=Dantiston}}

{{testing/entry|revision=7714|OS=Windows 7|CPU=AMD Phenom x4 965 @ 3.6GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 4870|result=PAL version tested; Doesn't have crackling sound! But have random hiccups and doesn't support custom texture; Settings were JIT Recompiler, ENABLE Audio Throttle,Set FPS Limit to 25,VBEAM ON,Block merging ON,Directsound/48000Hz,when ever cpu tries to up/down FPS limit and audio throttle fast correct it preventing any crackling sounds have Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card|tester=IcemanSR}}

{{testing/entry|revision=7714|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 6870|result=PAL version; Beat the game, it's fully playable, I rarely got the sound distortion, but it resolves itself. The game gets pretty laggy in some battles towards the end of the game. Settings are: D3D9; No-AA (as it causes issues with the game); EFB copies: Virtual and RAM; OpenMP Texture Decoder; and HLE audio with Dsound back-end. JIT compiler.|tester=Garteal}}

{{testing/entry|revision=7719|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.2GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti|result=PAL version tested; Plays nearly perfect. Sound distortion is still present and prominent during battles.  Happens occasionally during cutscenes. Turning on DSP LLE may or may not fix issue. Use same general settings as Brumbek.|tester=Getz2oo3}}

{{testing/entry|revision=7719|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-480M @ 2.67GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M|result=PAL version tested; Here's my settings: Enable Audio Throttle, JIT Recompiler, Uncheck Lock Threads to Cores, DSP HLE Emulation, DSound(48000Hz), Backend(Direct3D9), Anti-Aliasing(None), Anisotropic Filtering(1x), Uncheck Disable at EFB Copies, Uncheck RAM at EFB Copies, Check Disable at External Frame Buffer, and Check OpenMP Texture Decoder; Now game runs fine from 20 to 25FPS but I was still not contented; Patched the ISO using the PPF-O-MATIC v3.0 to make the PAL version run up to 30FPS; Taskkill(explorer.exe) using the ".bat" method; Used the Game Booster 3.0 by IObit; Now game runs surely from 22 to 30FPS and most of the time with constant 25FPS except when you reach Alcamoth where the environment gets heavy; You will hear crackling sounds when FPS goes below 20 or 23.|tester=Vehn Dreakk}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-201|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.8GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5850|result=PAL version tested; Had some issues with the sound at first using English dialogue, but for some reason this did not occur when setting it to Japanese in the Game Options. It did not always occur however. Other than that the game runs flawless so far.|tester=xRyudo}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-204|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core e6600 @ 3.15GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5850|result=PAL patched to 30FPS both tried fully; 9+ hours in the game. So, with 3GHz I generally had no overhead and every big situation could lead to crackling despite HLE Hack or LLE DSP, LLE DSP fared generally a lot more well, when I overclocked to 3.15GHz I had an overhead of about 20% which is nice, this could also because I had far lower memory timings 700MHz @3.15 with 5/5/5/13 (could lower even more, but tends to be more unstable, T2, could imagine T1 gives another speedup but is often very unstable with picky programs) with 3GHz I had 888MHz at 6/6/7/20 and with 2.4GHz I either use 800 or 1066MHz at respective settings. IdleSkipping ON, accurate Vbeam emulation ON (this one helped a lot) also OpenGL gives the best results for me with the least fuck ups and most accurate results, LLE is locked to core, also I assume that with a dual core clocked less than 3GHz you should disable Sound all together if your rig doesn't give you good results, this will also result in a big speedup, for me e6600 @ 3GHz wasn't playable with stable best looking settings and memory management but I still have to try out very low memory timings on less FSB, it could be viable because an increase of 150MHz from 3000 to 3150 shouldn't let me jump from 76/84/96-98% to an even 98-100% (114/126/140 without framelimit/throttle) in big locations or with dozens of monsters. Also patching the PAL version to 30FPS doesn't seem to have a negative FPS impact whatsoever. Also don't cache display lists as it's sometimes needed, EFB copies are needed for caves and other locations (you can disable it safely and only have minor glitches, like no head but hair etcpp)|tester=SunnySalvadore}}
