Problems

Unable to play Xevious

In the Bonus Game (must unlock first), trying to play Xevious, the bonus game, will show lots of graphic problems on it.

Invisible First Boss

In story mode, one cannot get past the first boss because he goes invisible. This can be avoided by using the JitIL recompiler. (fixed in r7599)

Fifth Mission Crash

In the fifth mission, when you reach the infected prototype, the game crashes. Using the JitIL recompiler fixes this issue.

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r7571	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-950 @ 3.07GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5770	Tested story mode, gold difficulty. Initial cutscene had crackly dialogue voices. Ran okay until apparent major glitch at the Fortuna aparoid boss. It vanished during the first meteor shower yet the battle continued indefinitely with no return of the boss. Just saw JITIL recompiler remark, going to try that later.	Schala
r7714	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 @ 2.2GHz	ATI Radeon HD 4650	Works fine, very playable, however slowdowns are present, they don't interrupt gameplay too much but can be problematic at times. Whilst on the Katina mission the sky is green and the graphics are incorrect, no other problems as of yet, could be my settings causing the graphical errors.	JoycieC
r7714	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.4GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6370M	Playable: Colour issues with intro scenes and the sky in some levels, has a fondness for making everything purple and green when it does have issues. Text has artefacts around the letters in some areas of the game. Otherwise, plays well
3.0-179	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.4GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6370M	Fully playable: No slowdowns, no known glitches.
3.0-204	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.2GHz	nVidia GeForce GT 525M	Fully playable and smooth at 1600x900 and 1.5x Native Resolution. Very minor graphic issues such as artifacts on some of the text boxes and none of the character's mouths moving (actual model and picture).	Marioman1
3.0-232	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.2GHz	nVidia GeForce GT 525M	Playable and smooth at 1600x900 and 1.5x Native Resolution. Game crashes when the prototype appears in the asteroid belt mission (Mission 5, fixed when using JITIL recompiler though framerate takes a bit of a drop).	Marioman1
3.0-332	Mac OS X 10.7.2	Intel Core i5-2435M @ 2.4GHz	Intel HD Graphics 3000	Not Functional. JIT recompiler doesn't get past the the various company logos after the game boots up. JITIL compiler is super smooth but gameplay is in slow motion. 640x480 resolution and 1x internal resolution.	jedivulcan
3.0-373	Mac OS X 10.7.2	Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6750M	Works. Full speed. No slow down. 60fps.	jedivulcan
