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

[Playguy]

Although it sounds easy, I'm still not getting through with loading the game to my present computer (I'm not very good with computers)........ in GT2 and GT3 I just got codes from Roger Shrimpton or one of the hybridding websites, convert them to the correct format to siut my Gameshark with the "maxconvert" and no problems whatsoever, but for one you all are using the PAL version and I'm not, and you all are doing it for your PC versio of the game and I'm not, so I'll wait a little longer for you all to figure out to do it the way I know how.................but I did get the code converted with the "maxconverter"

Well,suca is PAL,so am I and the main testers,and there aren't many NSTC people here too.But i think that with time,everything will be done right.Suca just needs some NSTC Testers.

But regarding the PCSX2 not working.Did you follow my guide?

well if you had all the same engine parts it would work anyway, its so you can put a turbo on an na engine i believe

Nah,we've done some testing,and if the base car doesn't support it,then you can't use that part.

For example,you have a charger base,and you want to put a skyline in there.You can't,it will lock up,because the charger doesn't have the option to put a turbo.I dunno if this code will change that i gotta try it.

Well.....it's a bit intimidating, and my computer is giving me some attitude..........I'll try your guide from your other "thread" over this weekend,..........but even if I do get through, and get hybrids through your method, wouldn't it be able to only work on a PAL version PS2 game and not on my NTSC game???

 

[Playguy]

oh damn i forgot,stupid me .Sorry 4everstock.You'll have to wait until Suca finds the codes,i don't know how to find them,i'm just a tester.

 

[JER_CREST]

The only usb flash stick that I have is an USB 2.0 and in the codebreaker it does not work or show up.

 

[sucahyo]

But suca,with those remove codes,we can have for example,a skyline engine in a charger for example,right?I gotta try that too.

Yes.

in GT2 and GT3 I just got codes from Roger Shrimpton or one of the hybridding websites, convert them to the correct format to siut my Gameshark with the "maxconvert" and no problems whatsoever,

Can you copy your savegame to PC using gameshark?

but even if I do get through, and get hybrids through your method, wouldn't it be able to only work on a PAL version PS2 game and not on my NTSC game???

I have NTSC code too, but no guarantee that it will work in real console. Like the PAL code, the address for PCSX2 and for ARMAX are different. So all I need is a hybrid save game from PS2 NTSC version.

Maybe you have a problem like this:

I must note that while it works on my 256 MB Kingston DataTraveler and SanDisk USB drives, it does not work on my new 1 GB Kingston DataTraveler.

 

[Playguy]

it's the FAT problem, i think that any USB can work with PS,they just need to be formatted accordingly.

 

[stumpydino]

one thing i noticed, using tuned skyline engine codes, then using other cars id body and chassis in this case a charger, and then of course it replaced the top car. with most cars its giving 740bhp, i happened to have a subaru 360 at the top one time and the hybrid car had 2000bhp

 

[Playguy]

What the hell?Those engine codes are also changing stock engine power?

 

[4everstock]

Yes.

Maybe you have a problem like this:

My Gameshark cheat disc has not yet recognised my 256 Dane Elec Flash, nor my Kingston 1GB Data traveller, but I just collected my new Codebreaker Version 9 disc, so later I'll try it out......... Are you speaking of the codes that I'm presently using the cheat GT4 with my Gameshark disc (e.g. to get all Gold liscences, max money, all cars unlocked,all cars/parts free etc.), or an actually trying to tranfer the save of the untouched gamesave on the PS2 memory card, or a save from the one with the cheats to a format that tn PC could accept????

 

[stumpydino]

What the hell?Those engine codes are also changing stock engine power?

look,

the bottom two are using all exactly the same codes, the others have the same engine parts too, apart from the top one of course. why on earth having a 360 as a donor for replacing affects power i dunno but i also notice the donor car will momentarily affect suspension setup, thus the model T one there has a really high ride height, until i go into the suspension settings and it realises the height it should be

 

[Playguy]

those AR MAX codes are also changing car settings.Dunno why tough.

I could use the existing gameshark code to generate a proper code. I need a save game created after enabling some untested hybrid cheat code. Here is GT4 NTSC raw code:
20A1F816 33333333
20A1F81A 33333333

A sequence of 33 will make finding the correct address easier.

Did you fit turbo modification for subaru 360? so maybe it's caused by turbo mod.

but i also notice the donor car will momentarily affect suspension setup, thus the model T one there has a really high ride height, until i go into the suspension settings and it realises the height it should be

Weird .....

 

[Metar]

I'm testing this one quickly, it seems this save has a few working modified cars.
The Celica works of course and the other working ones are:
809HP v12 Skyline,
26000 odd HP Audi le mans quattro with hacked wing,
163HP Benz motor wagen and looks like that was the last one.

- Does NSX have really this short wheelbase? looks really weird on Celica

- What kind of gearbox you fitted in this, an automatic one?

- The balance is really beautiful! At first it felt like there is almost no front grip but you can learn to live with it.
The current amount of power is enough for N1 tires, but this car needs at least N2s and they need about 80 HP more I think.
Maybe 50-60 HP could be enough but it's difficult to estimate how much grunt you need for recovering with power

- Yep, 50HP should be enough. I installed couple engine upgrades to get about 300HP and it feels almost right already

Wheelbase - That's the Chassis borrowed from the Elise 111R, which also gave the drivetrain. Engine and LSD are NSX-originated. Should try and look for something with a better size-match next time.

Gearbox - Indeed, the 8-speed Automatic from the Nissan Skyline 35-8, for seamless mid-drift shifting

Got any other suggestions? I want to try and improve this one, maybe on a different body... Got any wishes?

random floating spoiler?

That'll be the spoiler that pops up above the car when equipping a spoiler on a car that doesn't normally accept one.

 

[JER_CREST]

I am interested in making a hybrid of a vehicle in real life. The vehicle that I am trying to build is a Dodge Ram SRT-10, to get to the point would anybody be willing to give me the proper way to put Engine, Transmission, and Wheels into a Dodge Ram. I know that it sounds like I am desprate but the only way that I can make hybrids is by using my codebreaker only.

What I request is that.

1. What Master Code to Use
2. Engine Codes
3. Transmission Codes
4. Wheels Codes.

I forgot it had to be NTSC U/C version

Thanks to anybody that can help

 

[Metar]

NTSC codes haven't been released yet, and as for the codebreaker, I reckon you could convert them from ARMax codes that Sucahyo will release sometime soon.

EDIT: Just checked out my 3 cars - all pretty nice. I don't like the Celica's twitchyness, but it's acceptable. On top of it, the Nissan 240RS/GT-One is uber-awsome. Fully tuned it nets out 1300HP, which are enough to spin the rear tyres even in 6th gear on RSS tyres

Also, turns out the VCD thingy works - I simply kept checking out "AYC" rather than "LSD". By the way, Suca and the others - you don't need to buy a part to make it work. On the Celica, the Rwd LSD is adjustable, despite being "not equipped" according to the game. And on the 4WD Xsara, the VCD is "Not Installed", yet fully adjustable


EDIT: I'm back from holiday, and back in business.

First up, a V8lvo :

• Engine: Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Concept. A V8 with 450Nm of torque and not too much power.
• NA Tuning: Stg.3 from the Volvo, which proved to be very efficient, increasing power by about 200% (Twice the original power). Also increased torque to 1100Nm
• Drivetrain: Toyota GT-One.
• Chassis: Mazda 787B. It's tough finding a proper chassis, that fits the wheelbase of the original car. I made that mistake with my Celica (too short a wheelbase from the Elise), so I was determined to get the right length this time, while finding a light chassis. Result: 688KG, and fits perfectly.
• Suspension: Toyota GT-One, custom-tuned by me. Almost bottoming out (65mm height), it's just enough so it won't spark, and so low that it becomes the coolest Volvo ever. Pretty sharp handling...
• And all kinds of other bits and bobs. Very fun car indeed...

Also, announcments and findings:

• Remove Turbo/NA/Intercooler/Supercharger codes: They also affect power ratings. Dunno why, but insane HP-ratings are achieved that way, though in a very uncontrolled way.
• Rim-codes which you posted on your site won't work, occasionally. I tried adding Bentley rims on the Volvo-project, but it just crashed PCSX2.
• I'm trying to find more traces of the original Mini Cooper 1.3l - only found the Name-code so far. Any hints?
• I'm now able to create Xploder codes, too - finally understood how to make those. Now creating the usual stuff is much shorter...
• Suca, could you give us the exact addresses of the different settings? I know it may take a while, but I'd be endlessly grateful - I can't really get along with the info you posted on the site...

 

[sucahyo]

I see

but the only way that I can make hybrids is by using my codebreaker only.

Can you post some of already working codebreaker code? If there are no GT4 codebreaker code yet, I can't help you.

Also, turns out the VCD thingy works - I simply kept checking out "AYC" rather than "LSD". By the way, Suca and the others - you don't need to buy a part to make it work.

I see.

Many car have Ford Ka turbo equiped by default, even NA engine car, I gues removing them change it's power.

Yes, it seems there are some rule exist.

I'm trying to find more traces of the original Mini Cooper 1.3l - only found the Name-code so far. Any hints?

What is the code?

Yes .

Suspension setting? If you use PHaste you can find it easily. The suspension setting is stored after wing address. It start with gear ratio and end with LSD. The easiest part to notice is damper setting which take 8 byte which on stock car you can see it as a sequence of 01:
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01. get a MK's GT3 Garage reader app to know how it's memory layout is.

I found the location of the dampers (00A2A890), but changing values in PHASTE won't affect the game, and changing values in-game won't change anything in PHASTE...

What is the code?

Here's the code I found in your lists:
"23 03 mini_cooper_13i_98"

 

[sucahyo]

I found the location of the dampers (00A2A890), but changing values in PHASTE won't affect the game, and changing values in-game won't change anything in PHASTE...

That is the address for high speed damper front rebound (Third in sequence) for setup B.
damper for setup A start at 00A2A716.

Max damper value is 10, if you set it more than 10, it will revert to default when you enter suspension setting screen. And remember that those address are for setup B.

Here's the code I found in your lists:
"23 03 mini_cooper_13i_98"

There is no engine code for that car in either NTSC or PAL list, so I guess that car have been deleted from the game. Maybe japanese version still has it.

Indeed - the Chinese version has it. I was just thinking, if there's a name-code, there might be an engine/body-code you guys missed.

Update: Testers, Testers! Two new saves spotted in this RAR. They contain:

• AvantimeF1: A modernized version of the Espace F1, with some nifty experiments of mine - super-hard and low suspension (30mm height, 20-24 springrate). Second setup received a 4WD system, as well as an engine from the Toyota GT-One.
• S800/2000: The S800 Racecar from Honda received the 2-litre engine of it's modern kiddo, the S2000.

According to the link you gave me for converting saves from PS2 MC1 to the flash drive still needs a MaxDrive disc which I'm trying to get my hands on soon....... or could you use the Gameshark's Master Code for GT4

 

[Playguy]

The mini is probably like the 180sx.The name is there,and you can actually put it any car.But it's just the name and the logo.Nothing else,i think.

Gingiba,what are you talking about when you said that xploder codes makes things easier?And how do you do to change the b and c set ups?I never got that.

And sorry again for being out for so long.I've been too busy with holidays and such lol.

 

[Metar]

Which I find very sad to know. Always wished we had the proper Mini in the game...

Gingiba,what are you talking about when you said that xploder codes makes things easier?

I meant, I can pre-fabricate codes for my favourite drivetrains (Spec-C and Skyline GTR for 4WDs, Elise and Toyota GT-One for MRs, Corvette C5 and RX-7 for FRs) or suspensions, and run them right away, instead of editing many codes.
The PC which is good enough for hybridding is also the one without internet, so I simply downloaded the lists you send me (the TXTs with the base Hex-codes), and read the rest of the stuff off PHASTE. So the proccess of self-writing the codes saves me time.

And how do you do to change the b and c set ups?I never got that.

As Sucahyo mentioned, you take the address of, say, the engine, and go into the Windows Calculator. You switch to Hex-mode (F5), paste the address, and add 178 to the address. The result is the address of the same part, but in Setup B. Example:

Damper address in setup A is 00A2A716. So:
00A2A716 + 178 = 00A2A88E

I haven't tested Setup C yet, but it could be the same (Add 178 to the setupB address).


Also announcing: I'm currently gathering the addresses of all the settings - so far, I've almost-completely covered suspension settings, and can, at will, give the car just 1mm of height
I'll release the list once I'm done.

 

[Playguy]

Thanks gingiba,i apreciate that.

lol,1mm?
All...my...friends...know the low rider...
The Low...ri...der...is a little higher...

Maybe then we can make that buick look like one...

Ever heard of Dragging? Lowering a car (mostly a truck, from what I understood) so far, that it actually makes sparks on the floor. We could do a dragging-competition

 

[Playguy]

what the hell?lol,count me in,me and my midget 'milk truck'!

 

[Metar]

what the hell?lol,count me in,me and my midget 'milk truck'!

You'll have a hard time against my Volvowagon. The rims are already half-covered behind the wheel-wells, and the pure downforce the spoiler produces makes the car drag the bottom at high speeds - with a stiff suspension, at 75mm height. Now lets see what 30mm and a soft one will do

 

[Playguy]

geez,is it the GL one?

 

[Metar]

geez,is it the GL one?

Bingo, my V8Volvo from above. Laps Midfield quicker than JGTC cars, and looks three times cooler. Video will come soon, replay available on request.

And it can do dragging - just soften up the suspension and lower it a bit, because we all know what a stock Volvo can do.

 

[Playguy]

ahahahha,oh man...i thought you tuned the T5...4wd v8?downforce?(did you put the biggest wing there?)...

 

[Metar]

ahahahha,oh man...i thought you tuned the T5...4wd v8?downforce?(did you put the biggest wing there?)...

Mid-engined, Rwd, Long-stroke V8 (tons of torque - 1100Nm), a regular spoiler, and a light chassis (750KG). Kicks ass.
