The original japanese version SLPS-25020 has a slightly different program core causing sound issues thus not playable.
Speed has been sacrificed for compatibility in 0.9.2 - no need to report that.
Blocky and stuttering videos are a known issue - no need to report that.
- disable patches made for 0.9.1
- use "file/run CDVD", not "run/execute"
- use PEOPS CDVD driver to avoid infinite loops, install
MSVC libraries if necessary
- in PEOPS SPU2 driver disable "threaded mode" (this is experimental, not for general testing)
- MTGS still might occasionally crash, if it happens retry scene w/o it, e.g. the intro before 1st savepoint
- with GSdx9 disable MTGS generally and enable FFX hack
- with zeroGS download the latest
DirectX runtime libraries
- disable MTGS if FFX hack is not activated automatically
- press F9 to enable FFX hack manually
- only current zeroGS 0.96 supports FFX autohack
- graphics might look worse on out-dated graphics card with 16 bit floating point precision (e.g. ATI 9xxx)
- if you see checkerboard pattern, toggle anti-aliasing and/or bilinear filtering in zeroGs
- your graphics card driver must be set to application controlled anti-aliasing and filtering settings
-----------------------------
FFX-2 only:
I experienced a texture DMA related crash after finishing 1st mission
To pass this point enable wireframe mode in zeroGS (press SHIFT+F6)
To watch FFX-2 videos fullscreen, press F5 to toggle interlace
If you don't want to watch them, use custom skip video patch:
Code:

for future MTGS support following CRC are missing
FFX-2 Spain
FFX-2 any asian version
Harvest Moon Japan
Harvest Moon PAL
so report CRC of these and corresponding SONY article number SCxS_xxx.xx
Don't annoy us with CRC from modified bootlegs
