BIOS version: Europe v01.60

Comments: Works well, but loading is an issue, certainly events loading can crash the game. Only loading most races in garage have been noted. Hack comments: None required, still runs with low hacks, have not tested higher hacks

PCSX2 version: untested

PC specs used to test the game:

CPU: Intel I5-2500K
GPU: 2GB Nvidia GTX-550-TI

Comments: 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.
