Crash Bandicoot - The Wrath of Cortex Textures acting strange with pcsx2 core

[Abomb03]

First and foremost consider this:

• Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
• This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Whenever I boot up Crash Bandicoot - The Wrath of Cortex, the Konami logo and the other one loads fine, but when I get to the Interactive Studios Production, Universal Studios logo, Travelers Tales, and then the title logo, and t his happens

This known issue could be related: Glitchy overlay

Status: Active
Type: Serious
Description: The screen is covered in glitched graphics in dark levels (Droid Void, Crate Balls of Fire and Knight Time), essentially making the game unplayable. There is also a glitchy overlay when using the submarine in water levels, but the game is still playable when it is on screen.
Workaround: Switch to software renderer with F9 for the dark levels. Setting Skipdraw to 4 makes the overlay less noticeable when using the submarine, but it's still there.

Unfortunately, the LRPS2 core doesn't have the software renderer hooked up, which many games require for reducing glitchy behavior.
