Hybrid in GT4 ^_^, save game & code in the 1st post

[sucahyo]

I watched your video Speed Drifter, it looks like you have a lot of fun . Many big angle drift, drifting at corner with low angle and even forced to go sideways in straight . But what happen at the start of the video, you seem to start at the sky, is that normal? maybe it has something to do with setting the car height too low?

I got the japanese version of phaste. the english download link wasnt available i guess. how do i use this program?

You can compare what is changed in pcsx2 memoy when you equip turbo, or something like that. After I finish my gt4 hybrid database you can start doing hybrid directly without having to search it first.

if you need any help finding anything let me know i might be able to help you. I assume you are compiling a database with the locations and codes for every car, maybe i can help? let me know.

Thanks, I currently do it in an easy way, with excel (gnumeric actually). Gnumeric allow hex number calculation so creating code can be fast. Max convert also allow converting more than 2000 armax code at once (rear tire have code more than 9000.... ), so curently I have no problem. If I need help I let you know .

also i don't know how to extract/export the pcsx2 memory card saves so i can test them on my ps2. i already know how to convert and import armax save into pcsx2 but not the other way around. can you explain how its done please?

Use this:
http://d.turboupload.com/d/1656126/extractgt4.rar.html

I also write the instruction on how to do it in it.

Managed to load it up, but PHASTE keeps telling me that it can't read... What am I supposed to load up first?

I am not sure if 2GB memory stick can be used to transfer save........[/QUOTE]

My bad... I meant a MarkVision 2GB memory stick.....but Idon't think I need it, I formatted my 256MB stick...... I'm setting up everything, but I discovered that my computer is too slow, so I'm trading it in and getting a new one next week, then I'll load all your stuff

Actually it's a problem with the track itself
this is the Valencia track imported from Tourist Trophy and looks like VV didn't import the starting coordinates or something else is wrong.
the pit stop is also missing I believe, at least I couldn't enter it last time I tried to

Hybrids, here I come! I've managed to build a 550KG, 4WD RX-7 with the engine of a Mitsubishi LanEvo GSR I. Now, lets convert that thing...

Now converting: Hyper-Aston!

Suck it in!

1000HP, 1000KG Aston Martin

(With 4WD which doesn't seem to work - Any help, Suca or Saul?)

 

[Playguy]

What engine did you put on that aston gingiba?
i dunno about the 4wd not working,what's the problem with it?Did you put both codes correctly?

 

[sucahyo]

I finally finish the GT4 hybrid database. Here is the link. There is still no explanation about how to do hybrid yet. But I think some of you already know how to use it . It's a collection of 40,000+ armax code and PHaste code, displayed according to car selected.

Car id, body, wing, and wheel code will be added later too.

Managed to load it up, but PHASTE keeps telling me that it can't read... What am I supposed to load up first?

You have to click snap pcsx2, and then start entering code. The easiest way now would be entering cheat code in Xploder code check and press update cheat code, You can get the code on url I posted above, code like:
20A2A608 000005A1, to equip car with Ford KA engine.

I see. That really is a nice trick 👍.

I don't know why it doesn't work. I see that you are using the normal drivetrain for Tommi Evo 6, If you want to enable VCD setting, use all part equipped code and use the vcd enabled drivetrain code:
from :
B3 08

to
41 0A

 

[Playguy]

Great,great list suca!
I just have a question,in the Car ID list,there's the PHAST code first,but then there's these codes 00000157,etc.How do i use that?
And teh AR MAX codes,they change the selected car,right?So,i put the AR MAX code for engine,or something like that,and all the cars that i get in,get that engine,right?

And sorry ya'll for the lack of videos and pictures,i've been painting my whole house,and i takes all my time and strength lol.Tomorrow or so,i'll create my latest project...

By the way suca,that race mode in the list,is that the race mod's from GT2,or the normal wings?

you enter both:
20A2A5D0 00000157

in phaste xploder code check and press update cheat code button.

And teh AR MAX codes,they change the selected car,right?So,i put the AR MAX code for engine,or something like that,and all the cars that i get in,get that engine,right?

Yes, any car equiped will have the enginen changed, only for "setup A" though.

And sorry ya'll for the lack of videos and pictures,i've been painting my whole house,and i takes all my time and strength lol.Tomorrow or so,i'll create my latest project...

I know how hard to paint the whole house yourself, thanks .

By the way suca,that race mode in the list,is that the race mod's from GT2,or the normal wings?

I don't know, it is from GT4 list. it seems to change the car weight.

 

[GTO_VR4]

I dont have any of these cheat devices you guys used. BUT i do have a PS3 which has the ability to transfer save files using any USB storage device. what I want to do is, take these saves and put them on my USB flashdrive and transfer them to my ps3 and put the save file in the appropriate place. Im NTSC.

the save file extenstion for ps2 games are .psv obviously i cannot use these .max codes. so i gave ps2 save builder and noticed it doesnt even recognize or save to .psv.

So my question is how can i convert .MAX or any cheat device extention to .PSV?

 

[Playguy]

serach www.ps2savetools.com for that,i dunno if a converter is out yet.
EDIT: No need to,i've searched it myself:here is the program.
http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.php?op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=87

Suca,i'm gonna do some testing with that race mod cheat,maybe it's somekind og hidden feature?
I'm dreaming here,but maybe they were going to inlcude the racing mod like the GT2 feature,but in the end it wasn't complete and they had to release teh game,so they hid it from us...Probably only a few cars have it.I'm thinking that maybe the skyline r34 probably has it...

this would be great if true

 

[Metar]

I'm personally more comfortable using the regular PCSX2 method - pinpoint the location, and change the specs there. So I have a couple of address-related questions: I need the addresses for the parts:

• VCD
• Lsd

So drivetrain-conversions will actually work - I need LSDs for the Fwds which have been converted, so I could use them for normal driving, and VCDs so tuning the 4WDs will be possible.

Now, in that list you gave to Saul (which he sent to me), each car with 4WD has two codes for the drivetrain. I wanted to ask, should I apply first, then second one, or just one of them? What's the difference between them?

The database you created, how should I use it? I see this: "20A2A5D0 00000157", so should I enter the address "20A2A5D0", and rewrite to "01", and then address "20A2A5D1" rewritten to "57"?
Or should I copy the whole "20A2A5D0 00000157" to that Xploder-window, and press "Update Code"?

And can I help in writing a guide for PCSX2 Hybridding?

Saul, for your information, that's a TVR Speed 12 engine stuffed into the Aston. 8000RPMs of V12 goodness, with the flattest torque-curve ever - solid powerband from 2000RPM all the way to 8000RPM, with 1000Nm of torque and 1000HP


Another question popped up: Hybriding, as it currently is, will destroy GT-Mode OLR. Is there any progress on the ability to read replays while in PCSX2?


And concerning that Aston again: What's the "All Equipped" code, and how should I use it? And could you outline the process of creating a 4WD with a VCD and LSD again?

 

[Speed Drifter]

Another question popped up: Hybriding, as it currently is, will destroy GT-Mode OLR. Is there any progress on the ability to read replays while in PCSX2?

Let's just hope that most of the people won't be interested in GT4 hybriding
or won't even find this thread..
It will become pretty slow and painful for OLR moderators to validate replays if they have to check them with pcsx2 and memory dumping

 

[Playguy]

Yeah,probably this will mess up that competitions,but it's not our fault,and it's up to the racers to decide if they want to win cheating,or with fair play.

By the way,chech the toturial i amde about hybrid,and tell me what you think.

 

[JER_CREST]

Have anyone of you people found the wheels (rims) code sections in the codec, and if not is anybody working on it.

 

[Playguy]

Not that i know about.But you mean taking rims out of other cars into yours?

hmm,i've never thougt about that,taking those genki rims or those from the calsonic skyline would be cool

 

[Playguy]

Suca,will you add Body codes to those tables?

Also,have you taken a look at this article?It talks about the memory card file system and 16 byte footer - i remember that you said that you have to cut the last 10 byte.Maybe you need to cut 16?
Could you make an app to delete the last 16 byte for testing?

 

[EA11R]

Finally got around to playing the Cappuccino, and it is excellent! It is basically a tiny RX-7 with higher potential. In other words, perfection. I also imagine I will have quite a bit of fun racing unsuspecting players with the quick Cappo. Cute little Kei-Car beating Silvia S15. I can't wait!

 

[AngelCreator]

Yes, any car equiped will have the enginen changed, only for "setup A" though.

So this means I could put a Skyline R34 engine in the Suzuki GSX-R/4? That's so cool.

 

[Metar]

Hmm... James' post reminded me to ask: Suca, when creating a hybrid, is it possible to stick the 'garage' file and that BASCUS into an NTSC save, even though the hybrid was created with a PAL disk and save?

 

[Playguy]

well,i never tried that,but i don't think it will work,because there are cars that aren't in the NSTC version and are in the PAL one,and vice-versa.and the other filemust keep track of those cars.

 

[Metar]

I still can't get a VCD on my cars. I've got a perfectly-setup Xsara Rallycar, complete with floating spoiler for added downforce, 4WD with LSD (Sourced from a Subaru Impreza Spec-C). However, I can't get this VCD to work - I tried both codes for the drivetrain, but the VCD never got on the car.

Suca, could you post a PHASTE/Xploder-code for that "Equip All" code?


Here's a Xsara Super-Rallycar: 4WD, Floating Spoiler for 42/48 Downforce, 600HP Nardo engine, and only 960KG

And Here's a Mid-engined, Rwd Trial Celica, complete with NSX Engine and LSD.

And Here's
A Nissan Silvia 240RS Roadcar with all the internals of the fastest LM-racer - the Toyota GT-One. 1300HP, so watch out

 

[Playguy]

Great cars you have there Gingiba,we have to create a topic to make a show room with them.Maybe copy the general GT4 idea and create a Tuner's garage...lol.I'm thinking about creating a Micra Rally Car using the micra cup car as body.
I was watching those small Ignis rallying today at the Portugal's Rally,and i remembered that it would look awsome to make a rally car out of the Micra R.Maybe tomorrow.
It's a shame that we can only make one hybrid per save,it would be so much cooler to have lots of them .I tried several things today with HEXworkshop,like filling the garage file gap i talked about some time ago with code from a original file,and othjer things,but,despite it always working,it never changed anything.I even tried to use the BESCES from the original file with a hybrid garage,but it locks up during the loading from the memory card.

I'm now thinking that the corruption has to do with BESCES.I just would like Suca to create an app,or sending us a save file with a 16 byte erase in place of the 10 byte,just to see if there is any difference.

 

[Metar]

Hmm... A Peugeot 106 Rallycar with the V6 from the 406 Coupe, just like the one I saw three years ago

Playguy, could you give the Xsara a go? Or Speed Drifter, could you give the Celica a go? She should be pretty tail-happy, with that Elise drivetrain and sharp chassis.

And still no word from Suca about the VCD

 

[Playguy]

If i can,i'll try it tomorrow.I'm pretty rusty in GT4 now,i used to be a crack head when it came to drifting there,economic on the back,road on the front,300HP in any car,lowest ride height and spring rate,no aids and i was ready to drift lol.Now,i can't handle a damn stock supra :'( .I have to get on that again.

But did you try the 4wd with the VCD code?I tryed that today and it worked on my 4wd ford GT disguised as a Peugeot 206 CC lol.
By the way,are you european?You seem to like a lot of european cars.

 

[Metar]

I tried both the first (non-VCD) and second (VCD) code - none had it. It stayed on the second code, so you might get it accidentally. The drivetrain and LSD are sourced from a Subaru Impreza SpecC, which is one of the best-handling 4WDs.

I'm from Israel, which had a lousy attempt at a car-industry in the '60s, but I do have a soft spot for French, Brit and Italian cars. Though there's something about German cars that just puts me off. Price, WWII involvement, or the image that the company forms in my head...

 

[Speed Drifter]

Yes, of course! At your service

it's nighttime here right now but tomorrow I'll be testing your cars really carefully, they all sound really interesting and i believe they've got big potential 👍

 

[Playguy]

where you doing the 3 kinds of hybriding?Changing adresses and inserting cheat codes?

lol,portugal never even tried to get on the car industry...thank god for that,the cars would tear themselves appart in no time...lol
Anyway,even tough i see them everyday,french and italian cars don't excite me.Not even those italian supercars,like lambo's and ferrari's.But german cars do.I love the thoughness and classy style of them.I personnaly love BMW's.
But my really soft spot is for japanese imports...too mainstream,but i love them,any of them.I admire their small engines with good perfomances and their reliabiliy.Japan makes great cars.

Speed Drifter,i'm gonna take a shot here and say you are from UK...

 

[Metar]

Yes, of course! At your service

it's nighttime here right now but tomorrow I'll be testing your cars really carefully, they all sound really interesting and i believe they've got big potential 👍

Thanks. I'm trying very carefully to create useable, reasonable hybrids which go fast while remaining driveable, as well as keeping all the nasty details: Adding an LSD when converting drivetrains, watching out for suitable engines, etc. I usually go by a certain 'theme', or main idea.

And Playguy - I used both kinds, both direct-code editing, and the cheats from Suca's lists. None had VCD, and they both changed the same lines.

 

[Playguy]

Suitable engines?
You must mean what i did in GT3,adding a v8 in a civic,but mount it in a MR drivetrain,because it would too big for the engine compartment lol.

I have to do that in GT4...
