pre-0.9.7 Beta (r1888) | GSdx 0.1.16 (r2693) |

30-40 FPS. Slow. Used MicroVU. Runs pretty slow, plus a lot of graphic glitches. Too many speed hacks makes the cars turn invisible. | Sev7en77 |

0.9.8 (r4600) | GSdx 0.1.16 (r4600) |

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Recommended, MTVU, Very CPU and GPU intensive (my 9800GTX can only do up to 2x without slowdowns). | Bositman |

1.5.0-3210 (Git) | GSdx AVX2 1.1.0 Hardware (toggle software rendering with F9 off and on again to fix the black sky) |
|
All GS Core settings kept to their defaults. Using 4x native render resolution, 4xAF and basic mipmapping and saw 60fps throughout the game. Only emulation issue to speak of is the black sky - this can sometimes be fixed by pressing F9 twice to toggle software rendering off and then back on again. | monotron |

1.6.0 Stable | GSdx SSE4.1/AVX 1.2.0 | SPU2-X 2.0.0 | Plays at average speed, has frame drops, has some minor graphical issues. | Zerel |

|
1.6.0 (Stable) | GSdx AVX2 1.1.0 Hardware (F9 to software for fixing sky) |
|
Used balanced preset (3-balanced) and noticed solid 60fps throughout all menus and gameplay at 3x internal resolution. Only issue is the ongoing black sky bug which I was able to fix with F9 toggle. | pwnedbygary |

1.7.0-dev-126 g65604a5c2 (Manually compiled w/ added OPL VMC support) | GSdx AVX2 1.2.0 Hardware |
|
Played on a Mid 2019 MacBook Pro 15" via BootCamp. Used Async mix for audio and the F9 trick to fix the skies. Mostly 60 fps with occasional stutters, completely playable from start to finish. The game indeed looks a bit darker that the original, and textures might sometimes flicker. | DevilDimon |

Set "Async Mix" as synchronization mode for better song playback. Using hardware mode is faster and fixes some of the missing blur effects, but it also blurs and adds ghost effect to other parts (car rear bumpers). Software mode is slower ~30-35 FPS if not using fgrlx. | joder666 |

Street directions are visible further than they should in Hardware mode at higher resolutions
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Some street directions, like the red crosses sprites that tell you a street is closed, or the yellow arrows that tell you turn, appear before they should in Hardware mode at higher resolutions because the game uses mipmaps to gradually make them appear as you get close to them, but higher resolutions use higher quality versions of the texture, making them opaque earlier.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Blur is not as intensive in Hardware mode
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Image is slightly brighter in Hardware mode
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Most of the times when in-game (not in a menu), the Hardware render will be darker than the Software one, likely due to post processing.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
