1.2.1 (r5875) GSDX D3D11 (Hardware) ? BIOS: Europe v01.60, HACKS: None required, Works well, but loading is an issue, certainly events loading can crash the game. Only loading most races in garage have been noted., Regardless of version, you cannot load races in the garage, the game will hang and freeze in an endless loop, BUT, THERE IS A TECHNICAL FIX: First, load a track that works through the garage, these include: Hot Sand Ruins L, Sunset Volcano L and Snow Palace Mountain L Coin Trial, and load another track in quick sucession, you must be quick enough, if you feel like you're slow. Save a state in the garage just in case you do crash. Also, you can load races indirectly through the doors in each town and it's possible to warp to other towns during play. RodgerCrocket

Game works fine but requires the patch attached in the first post else it will hang at start. The patch also skips the movies. You can also enable automatic gamefixes as the patch has already been added to the database. Hangs at start without the patch.
