most current betas and GSDX9 versions show nicer 3D in menus, but nothing is rendered ingame

There are 3 major issues with that game, solved by patching:
1) stops on firewire check since October '04, when firewire plugin was improved
2) underlayed videos in menus crash PCSX2
3) spu2PeopsDSound crashes when menu music starts

Menu 3D looks better, but not yet right.
("Lancer" and "Xsara" are supposed to be red)

found the point where it loops between menus and ingame:
EPC= sceSifCheckStatRpc
PC = _edSoundWaitHardwareUpdate__Fv
RA = edSoundFlush__Fv

so i made an additional patch:
//skip edSoundFlush__Fv
patch=0,EE,00197530,word,03e00008
patch=0,EE,00197534,word,00000000

VUREC:
crashes immediately ingame with
EPC=sceSifSetDma

REC:
After a few moments ingame fps goes high and it loops in Kernel RAM
PC = 800003e8/8000xxxx/00081fc0
EPC= Deci2Call

REC OK, VUREC crashes ingame

For the first time this game boots with spu2PeopsDSound
Still a few sound problems, log reads loads of
"[EE] edDsp edDspSetCommand - IOP Buffer full"

Background graphics missing, hence not playable.
