Searching For Evidence of Hidden Things

[Xenn]

I thought the VOL files in the demos didn't work with GT2VOL? I tried them with the demos I have and they won't unpack at all.

Yes, that's the same thing it happened to me, perhaps I didn't explain well. So the only way to access data in that discs is the good old gameshark codes.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Exactly.

I just tried to open with GT2VOL the GT2.vol files inside some GT2 demo discs in order to find that CLK that is seen in some pre-release IGN or Gamespot screens, and I'm encouraged by the fact that the memory addresses seem to be the same, as you can actually play cars which weren't intended to play modifying the data in memory through an hex editor (eg the C4 Corvette, which also happens to show some sort of weird 3rd light on the back I don't remember it was there in the final version of GT2) but, since noone ever knew exactly the code for the CLK, I presume there's no way to find it other than trying every single code.

However, there are screenshots of that CLK on the net, so it must be somewhere, in some lost PSX demo of the game or press version: in the first case, only time'll give an answer.

There are torrents on the net you can download the demo versions from. I presume you're using epsxe with pec cheating, so if you get an hex you may try to do some research (if you're only interested in the plam strip, I'm quite sure it isn't there, though).
P.S.: Hope I'm not saying anything illegal here. They were demo versions intended to be spread freely, so there's no reason downloading them should be considered dangerous for Sony or any other developer.

Well what i ment was can you post a pic of what it looks like when you take cars from GT2 and move them to another game? I've seen the CLK GTR before on an old thread.

No. Try with google, that's the only thing I can do as my work in progress conversion has vanished from my pc from years. Or try to ReVolt forums, they're plenty of users who make such conversions, maybe you'll find some examples.

Think I found some proof that definitively denies the exhistence of the CLK LM on the GT2 disc. I see the folders of the cars aren't casual, as the first letter of the folder usually stands for the country, the second for the maker, the 3rd and 4th for the model and the last is n or r as normal or race car.
The folder which contains the Audi a4 is, for example, gaa4n.
The CLK-Race folder is gmd2r: the model letters are "d2" which by no means relate to the actual name of the car. My theory is that they named it D2 because the main sponsor on the CLK LM was D2, as seen from the pictures on the net: I think it wasn't just removed from the disc, but substituted by the CLK-DTM we have.

Yea im sure and also what demo disc are you talking about? Which particler one are you talking about?

 

[Patruck GT2]

Yea im sure

Is there some irony here? Because that wouldn't be fair, considering you've no reason not to trust what I'm saying.

However, the discs are Official PS Magazine (United States) 46 and the other's just unuseful as it contains the exactly same demo.

Not sure were your going there on that 1st sentance, but i do believe what you are saying, frankly im just alittle confused. Also i have seen in game snapshots of this CLK GTR before on one of the demo disc.

 

[Patruck GT2]

I was saying you seem a bit ironic, when you reply something like "Yea I'm sure" as I refuse to show you pictures of the conversion I can't post because they're not on mu computer anymore.

Would that be the Jampack winter demo disc? I forget which one it was exactly, but i'm sure it was that one.

Sorry guess i should think twice when I type stuff because it may make sense to me but probly not to others. I believe you when you say you don't have the pictures and frankly i doubt many people do anymore. (At least on here) I'll try and find one and post it here

 

[Xenn]

I made a code that loads a body depending on the value in the arcade mode.

I tried it with all the demos I have and I couldn't find the CLK-GTR anywhere. I believe it was deleted right after the E3 demos most likely.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm confused about something. I thought that the Mark Martin #6 ford taurus racing mod was only available to v1.0 of GT2, but I have v1.1 and I was able to get access to that racing mod in GT mode with it. I know it's v1.1, the muscle car licenses are fixed and the peugeot 206 on tahiti maze can complete the course.

Yea it was that one i seen it in. Wish the car itself existed in there though

Yea i didn't expect it to be in any demos at all. Sad that it isn't I have heard that there was video that was shown before it's release featuring that car, is that video anywhere to be found on the internet?

Aparently you have a early version of 1.1 or a late version of 1.0. Seems like mine did to and i know mine is 1.0. What about the car wash? Did show up as 5000 CR when it's cost is really 50 CR?

 

[Pyle_PMG]

@Xenn- Yeah there's a pic of it on the PS Underground Winter disc. Also on that disc there's a video with Kaz, and there's footage of them getting sound profiles for cars. and footage of some cars that didn't make it into the demos or game. As well there is footage of what appears to be a really early demo, the tach numbers are screwed up and the graphics look worse than GT1.

The price is 5,000cr. Though, version 1.0 cheat codes don't work on it, but the 1.1 gameshark cheats I've used on this disk do. So, I have a wierd variant of v1.1.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I kinda wish those cheat codes xenn posted worked for my GT2 demo variant. My GT2 demo, I have no idea what variant I have. All I know is the PS underground disc label says "disc 2", it was part of a 2 disc PS underground pack that I got with my PS1 I think. "disc 1", if I remember correctly, had the kaz GT2 interview video on it. The model name of the disc is "SCUS-94445".

Do you know if the same video is on YouTube?

 

[Pyle_PMG]

I could check. If it isn't, I'll try and find my disc, and work some 'magic'.

There's a few ways to tell the differences between the demos.

Early Demo: The Lotus Elise in the later demos is replaced by the Audi S4, the gameplay feels more GT1'ish too and the Mitsubishi Lancer has no turbo either.

Bonus Disc Demo: The Audi S4 is replaced by the Lotus Elise, the gameplay feels more like GT2 now.

Later Demo: The title screen demos features a Subaru Rally car, a new info was added to the HUD in gameplay (Course Record) and overall feels more complete.

I guess I'll go recheck my copy then. I think mine has the Audi S4 though.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yup, my demo doesn't have the Lotus Elise, but has the Audi S4 '98 and the menus have GT1 sound effects. On the hub, it displays the position, lap time, total time, speed, gear, & revs. That's about it. I guess I have the early demo then.

Hmm, try the early demo codes I have on my gameshark topic. It should work with that.

I've actually tried track loader codes for both the early demo and the later demo and neither of them work. I still end up racing on rome. Though, it might be because I'm not playing on an emulator, I'm using a ps2 & gameshark disc.

 

[Nero9]

No. Try with google, that's the only thing I can do as my work in progress conversion has vanished from my pc from years. Or try to ReVolt forums, they're plenty of users who make such conversions, maybe you'll find some examples.

I'm one of the 2-3 people who converted cars from GT2 for ReVolt. I use PSicture to extract the cars' textures, then use ZModeler to edit the car (model the wheel arches and the chassis) and UV map it. I make my own wheel mesh for the cars.

 

[Nero9]

Not that hard for me tbh. My most recent GT2 conversions are the closest you'll see to being 1:1 with the original. search on rvzt.net for Wedssport Celica, BP Apex Kraft Trueno and Momo Corse Apex MR2. I can't send you any links because I'm posting with my PSP. I also apologise for double posting, it's the only way around the PSP's text limit.

Okey awesome! Im using my ps vita right now, it is alot better with typing, i'll look and see if i can find it, try to post the link if you get on your computer. Im anxious to see it.

 

[Nero9]

Unfortunately I won't be near a PC anytime soon so you'll have to find it on that site. (it's not that hard)

 

[Crashbroke23]

Here's the link to Nero's work in Re-Volt.

I am very impressed with the conversion of the GT2 cars, especially the race cars.

 

[Korza]

Were any of you aware that Eiger Path shows up in the PAL intro?

Now thats what i call a sucessful conversion! Good Job Nero! 👍
