{{testing/entry|revision=7414|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.5GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480|result=PAL version tested; Perfect apart from very rare sound popping and crackling and very brief load stutter upon entering new areas; Used www.xtemu.com build; Settings were JITIL Recompiler, Lock Threads to Cores, Disable Audio Throttle, XAudio2/48000Hz, have Creative X-Fi sound card|tester=Brumbek}}

{{testing/entry|revision=7414|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-520M @ 2.4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M|result=PAL version tested; Very playable, sound is a bit choppy when in battles with a lot of enemies; Game runs between 75% and 100% speed.  No crashes at approximately 4 hours of gameplay|tester=Thunderbolt}}

{{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=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=7714|OS=Windows Vista|CPU=Intel Core i5-750 @ 4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460|result=PAL version tested; Few cutscenes have crackling sound.|tester=X}}

{{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=3.0-72 HLE Hack|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-875K @ 2.93GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5850|result=PAL patched to 30FPS; 40+ hours in the game. Only one very minor issue : the screenshot next to your save games doesn't appear correctly. Otherwise, as far as I can tell, graphics and audio are perfect. No crackling sound at all, which was the purpose of this HLE Hack build. FPS Limit off, JIT recompiler, lock threads to core, HLE, Enable audio throttle, DSound, Direct3D9.|tester=Tech}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-72 HLE Hack|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.2GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD R9 290|result=Nearly perfect; runs at a steady 30FPS while patched with the latest version of the HD Texture Pack (March 2014 as of this writing!) Only problems encountered was some problems regarding the HD textures (during the visions, it seems that the icon for the characters are a little squeezed and shifted to the left) and some very infrequent stutters. Great job! Using OpenGL render pipeline with the suggested settings for the HD texture pack.|tester=theswweet}}

{{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}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-363|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7 @ 3.07GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570|result=PAL patched to 30FPS. Runs PERFECTLY at fullspeed 99.5% of the time, some really short(<1sec) slowdowns when too many effects on screen. No sound bug/crackle using HLE on vlakipn build (using XAudio2). EFB to texture break save file thumbnail, set EFB to RAM to fix it but it's slower. SETTINGS : OpenGL back-end, NativeRes x4, AF x16, no AA, Scaled EFB to texture, safest texture cache, per pixel lighting enabled, forced texture filtering, OpenMP enabled, XFB disabled. Be careful not to let the controller disconnect, or you might be unable to reconnect it without closing! (Tested with X360 Wireless)|tester=Skullbot}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-801|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.7|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670|result=NTSC Version Tested. After many attempts at trying to find ideal settings, I've found the best I can at the moment. Using Enable Dual Core, Enable Idle Skipping, Limiter set to "Audio", JIT Recompiler, Threads locked to cores, DSP LLE, DSP LLE on thread, xAudio2/48000hz. Using the OpenGl backend at 1440p, 4x Native, 8xQ CSAA, 16x Anisotropic Filtering, "Scaled EFB Copy" Checked, "Per-pixel Lighting" Checked, EFB Copies set to "Texture", Texture cache set to the Safest, "External Frame Buffer" Disabled, "Per-Pixel Depth" Checked, "OpenCL Texture Decoder" Checked, "OpenMP Texture Decoder" Checked. Using the Xbox 360 Button replacement scheme via "Load Custom Textures" under advanced. Now the big thing that was keeping my performance held back was enabling Accurate VBeam emulation. With those set to the game defaults instead, the game went from 20-30FPS (stuttering) to almost 30 constant. The first battle upon loading the game will have a framerate dip as the attacks as fired off, but it's smooth sailing for the most part after. Still not perfect, but it's hard to notice if the FPS meter isn't on. After maybe 3 hours of play in one sitting, the audio can become garbled and requires a restart of the emulator. Otherwise, even if the framerate drops, the audio just keeps on going perfectly. It's only happened once; I will update this page if it occurs again. (Even with 16xQ CSAA, the game runs at 30. I just can't notice the jump so I leave it at 8xQ. This game needs a more powerful CPU to be 30 constant at absolutely all times, unless there is a setting I've overlooked.) :D|tester=Blitzxgene}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-845|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 5770|result=PAL version with 60VPS patch and HLE Patch applied. Used DX9, 4x resolution, no AA, 16 AF, EFB copies to Texture. Fullspeed. No graphical issues except: 1. Flickering on very distant objects 2. Weird bloom scaling/ghosting on high internal resolutions (see {{Issue|5781}})|tester=Animus}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5-305|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i3-2350K @ 2.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce 410M|result=Playable 20-25FPS (PAL), the two problems mentioned are still valid (stuttering audio + image backup overview)|tester=Dratal}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5-367|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce 560 Ti 448|result=Played a few hours with NTSC version, works fine, audio is perfect with LLE and I have no slowdowns on my system without any advanced tweaking. HD textures and button textures work fine for me (remember to enable "load custom textures" in the video plugin).|tester=Herpderpus}}
