Driving Emotion Type-S - severe problems

[FMecha]

PCSX2 version:
pcsx2-v1.7.0-dev-233-g6229b204f-windows-x86

PCSX2 options:
Mostly default with Safest speedhack and MTVU

Plugins used:
GSdx32-AVX2 1.1.0 (Direct3D 11, mostly default settings)
(all other plugins are defaults))

Description of the issue:
This game's problems are already well-known that it's marked only in-game, but I've reporting it here for documentation purposes:

• Using Hardware mode will lead to corrupted rainbows on the top of the race screen. GS Dump
• Urban Highway and Provence have severe physics problems - this prevents you from racing in Urban Highway as the game disqualifies you at 3 countdown due to the player being out of bounds (just watch the attract demo to see how it happens) while Provence's physics fail after one or two turns. (Suzuka East works fine though - I haven't tried other courses since they're locked)
  
  
  
• Loading West Coast will cause the game to return to BIOS/browser, with the following console log (there's also failures to load course data files? every track suffer from this but only West Coast causes a reset):

Which region of the game is this? NTSC or PAL?

NTSC (SLUS-20113)

Thanks, we already have an idea what the issue is.

The physics and loading problems should be fixed once #3864 is merged, the hardware problems with the garbage on the screen still remain however

[tadanokojin]

Problem with garbage is a texture cache issue. It needs texture in rt but current implementation isn't good. #3479 might help but it's still WIP.

[refractionpcsx2]

#3479 does indeed improve it, but it's not perfect, there looks like there's "dirt" on the screen, which aren't there in SW mode

Certainly playable like that though

This is resolved (ignore the upscaling artifacts on the ui)
