+***PCSX2 version:***
+``(For example, stable build v1.4.0 (or) development builds v1.5.xxx)``
+
+- **Note**: It's preferred to only report bugs which are present on the [latest development builds](http://pcsx2.net/download/development.html).
+
+
+***PCSX2 options:***
+``(For example, Clamping/Rounding, Speedhacks, GameFixes)``
+
+- **Note**: Generally it's recommended to have settings as default as possible and use the ``Safest`` preset along with MTVU speed hack disabled. If there's no issue with these settings but there is an issue with some other non-default option, then please state it explicitly.
+
+
+***Plugins used:***

+
+- **Note**: In case the issue is a graphical problem with the GSDX plugin, please provide basic information like ``Renderer/Internal resolution/CRC Hack level/Other relevant options`` which were used to reproduce the issue. Additionally, providing a [GS dump](http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-How-to-create-a-proper-GS-dump) of the issue would also be helpful.

+
+***Last known version to work:***
