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 |

0.9.9 (r5179) | GSdx 0.1.16 (r5179) |

Works great, check known issues for a workaround for the sky. | Bositman |
| NTSC-U | Windows |
|
1.0.0 | GSdx |
|
Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Recommended, MTVU, Very CPU and GPU intensive (my 9800GTX can only do up to 2x without slowdowns). | Bositman |
| NTSC-U | Windows |
|
1.1.0 (r5576) | GSdx SSE4 (r5570) |
|
Runs above full speed. Same graphics errors as before. | |

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Still Playable. Issues and workarounds the same as listeed above by Bositman. | |
| NTSC-U | Windows |

1.3.0 (git 2014-06-18) | GSdx |
|
USA v02.20(10/02/2006), I can confirm about the sky bug again, already said by Bositman. The solution gaved work fine too. Sky still fixed if the method. | |
| NTSC-U | Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (SP1) |

| NTSC-U | Windows 10 64-Bit |
|
1.5.0-3179 (GIT) | 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. Weird issue with filtering lines appearing at the bilinear mark in both software and hardware modes. Will try again to see if this is reproducible. | pwnedbygary |
| NTSC-U | Windows 10 v1903 64-Bit |
|
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 |

1.0.0 (r5409) | GSdx 0.1.16 |
|
USA 02.30, GSdx Renderer: OpenGL (Software). 3 frames skipping, EE Clamping None, No Frame Limiting, ZZ OGL only renders menus. | GENiEBEN |
| NTSC-U | openSUSE Tumbleweed x64 |

1.2.2+ (git 2015-01-19) | GSdx 0.1.16 |

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 |
