Gran Turismo 3

hi, i have been using pcsx2 for a few weeks trying to get this to run. i have used numerous combinations of plugins and options to try an get this to atleast run 1 track like some people have been able to.
i am running the latest version of PCSX2 0.9.4.
my pc specs:
Pentium D 3.40ghz
1Gb ram @ 600mhz dual channel
Vista Ultimate 32 bit
and a crappy ATI X600 lool

but anyway i have installed the new GDSX plugin which incorporates DX10 and DX9 and the ZeroGS KOSMOS 0.97plugin. i have tried both plugins but they seem to crash the emulation when loading the race (GSDX) or displaying a load of fuzzy patterns across the screen (ZeroGS). Also i have sound disabled.

the only way i have been able to get in and race is by using the software renderer in GSDX plugin but this is too slow, even on the opening screen it can only do 30/60fps! And in race a small 1-3fps!

i have selected the dual core options in the cpu config and using a patch to skip the intro.

has anyone got any advice for me to run either the speedway or midway tracks, ive heard these can be played.
im not looking for speed, just to see for my satisfaction lol

thanks for your help
ps i know it says 'ingame' but come on!

well in GT4 its the same problem and it helps to set the display brightness to 0,
but in GT3 it doesn't.

gabest fixed that problem for GT4 in GSdx, maybe the fix can also applied to GT3 with some modifications.

i'll try that.

And you might want to update your specs a bit...
