So I wanted to play Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec PAL version (SCES50294) on PCSX2 1.1 r5730.
The game loaded just fine, ingame menus were all displayed and also the garage was fully accessible.
However when I tried to drive on a track my whole system moreless froze (I couldn't even move my mouse pointer anymore). It seemed like the system was under heavy load but I've never seen something like this to this extent.
The only thing I could do was force a reboot the old fashioned way, by hitting the reset button.
I know that the PAL version of the game is marked as "Ingame" in the compatiblility list but since there are no further details posted to what the problem is I wonder if this is it?
I would have imagined that the emulator would simply crash or freeze but not that my whole system would freeze, I didn't even know this could happen nowadays because of a single program.
The other thing that might be relevant is that the disk I got the image from was in a rather bad shape already, it even took a whole day for UltraIso to burn the image (but at least I got no error).
So I wonder what could have caused this? Or if anybody can tell me some further details about what the problem with the PAL version of GT3 is?
