Game is playable using svn r6517 on my slackware linux box, haven't tried in windows yet. I just finished the school cup and now on to the bronze cup championship.

Compulsory settings: fixes texture corruption & slow movie intro
safe texture cache: normal/fast
efb copy to: texture/ram

non-compulsory settings
efb 1x/integral gives about the same fps
anisotropic filtering 16x at no cost to fps

settings help to increase fps
disable fog
display list caching
xfb virtual

config file edit (section [core] "Fix002=1") is no longer necessary.

60-80 fps in menus, 10-40fps in game. Some racing tracks are slower than others. Slight and short audio distortion when loading race tracks, no other anomaly seen. My hardware: Intel dual-core E2160@3GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 512MB, 8GB memory, OpenGL linux plugin.

Emulated wiimote and cheat works as well. Tilting forward/backward using keyboard is cumbersome, but can be done. Enjoyable game.
