Region : EU
Format : ISO
Version : v0.8.1
Game ID : ULES01402

OS : Win 7 x64 SP1
Hardware : AMD FX6100 6-core (Bulldozer) + Radeon HD7970
Compatibility : menu only
Notes : The menu is great and runs without any glitches, however after selecting a track the emulator freezes. Never got past this point. Selecting compatibility of the exe file with Win 7 x86 or older Windows does not help. Changing any settings in the emulator does not help too.

OS : Win XP SP3
Hardware: AMD FX6100 6-core (Bulldozer) + Radeon HD7970
Compatibility : playable
Notes : Menu as above. The game runs OK and you can actually finish all the tracks, gain scores, create and save profiles etc. However the emulator still crashes sometimes with unpredictable frequency. The longest session without a crash took approx 45 mins or so; sometimes it crashes after 2 minutes... I developed a system which seems to help (maybe?) a bit - Whenever I see a first short sign of freezing (a short pause), I press ESC to get into PPSSPP menu and then I can continue. I assume the emulator clears some kind of graphics cache meanwhile? The overall performance is a bit slower than it should be and the ingame picture is not perfect, but again, it is fully playable.

My thanks to the developers of PPSSPP for allowing me to try my favorite game in this pocket version. I do own a licensed PC and PS3 discs of Split/Second, but I did not want to buy the PSP console just to try the game for two or three days.
