|Comments=Game works alright (a bit slow) in Gsdx Software mode., Menus are absent in Gsdx HW mode. Also once ingame HW mode seems to be suffering from massive memory leak and almost hangs my pc. Use Gsdx software mode as most of the textures are missing with HW mode anyway.

* Requires a cheat to remove banding issue without resorting to skipdraw: "23510F99.pnach / gametitle=<<your gametitle>> / patch=1,EE,204F318C,extended,00000000" (don't forget to enable cheats) (credits to Souzooka).
* OpenGL gave the best results after some tweaks.
* Use Auto Flush to fix car light bug.
* Audio Synchronization: either Timesync or nothing, to prevent skipping audio lines.
* Turn widescreen patches off for proper proportions.
* MTVU gives fps boost without side effects.
* Mipmapping should be off (forgot reason).
* Blending Unit Accuracy on High (forgot reason).
* Couldn't get 60FPS cheat to work, shows 60FPS but runs at 30FPS.

|IssueLevel=0
|Description=
|Description=Vehicle headlights are always visible through the vehicle itself.
|Workaround=
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings. If using Software Mode, enable "Auto Flush". If using Hardware Mode, enable "Enable HW Hacks", click "Advanced Settings & Hacks", and enable "Auto Flush". You have to have both Auto Flush and Native resolution enabled for this to work. One or the other on its own won't fix anything. Tested on 1.5 dev 3242.
