Patches not required now. You will need to use skip draw = 1 to make it playable in gsdx HW mode. Some effects seems to be missing/messed up but doesn't effect gameplay. | |

Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Recommended + MTVU, Automatic Game Fixes, You need set skipdraw to 1, otherwise you'll get 5-10 FPS in-game. Enabling 8-bit textures increases speed by 5 FPS. With it and recommended speedhacks I get 40-50 FPS in-game. The only way to get constant full speed is to crank up VU Cycle Stealing to the max but this will cause slight sound crackling. Some special effects appear incorrectly. | |

Known Issues
Huge Slowdown
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: When using GSdx speed can go down to 5FPS due to VRam usage, fine if you have enough VRam in your graphics card.
- Workaround: Skipdraw=1 in GSdx reduces the Vram need by a big amount.
Blurry Races
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Motion blur in races appears exaggerated.
- Workaround: Software mode (F9) in GSdx has it right
