Is it true that GT2000 is in fact a PS1 game in disguise? Back in the day, cracker groups Paradox and BAD released a patch that allowed you to play the game on your modded PS1 by changing the game's boot code. The patch seems to have been lost to time, but the cracktro remains.

I don't know if It was possible to launch it on PS1 hardware(probably not,GT2000 has a lot of advanced technologies PS1 couldn't really handle...maybe em*r could though...I can't even see a point of doing that) but the GT2000 was indeed an overhauled GT2,with same structure and even some similiar models. It looks very similiar to the overhauled GT2 they used to record intros...

There were many secret tracks in GT4P, GT3, CTC shown by Castrol96 and even beta tracks in Prius Trial Demo. But anybody know something about secret tracks in GT2000 (beside SSR5), some beta or test tracks?

Yeah, I was disappointed to play GT2000 for the first time. It has those annoying classic GT physics too. (Although I did grow up playing GT3, so I'm used to those physics)

When I looked in GT2K.VOL all I saw was files for Seattle and the Lancer. I couldn't even see files for the AI cars. I might take a closer look.

Could it be possible at all to add cars to GT3? Not as in add them to the car dealer or anything like that, but to add, for example, cars from GT Concept. They would be unobtainable of course, but I think it would be cool to add them as their own cars (not just ports) and use them in GT mode.

I guess this is impossible without a .vol re-packer though. But I might just try injecting a car (that's already in the game) using HxD.

Edit: It crashed.

Here's what I found. I have three questions:
1. What is the limit of HP in GT3 (in this video car have 662000HP)?
2. What is the limit of weight in GT3 (last I saw was about 459 kg in one hybrid car)?
3. What happens if you get 2147483647 in Max Speed Test? (I mean Record Stat).

1. I have no idea, I'd have to check. It'd be the sum of all the best power enhancing parts, the Escudo engine, and the -1 power multiplier.
2. 459 kg as far as I know.
3. It's probably either just 2147483647 or whatever fits in the records section.

More gameplay of GT2000 (again from MattJ155).

Some beta screenshots

Beta Route 246

I am not sure if these shots relate to the old Route 11.

 

[Castrol96]

Some idle demos.

 

[GTE4everyone]

I avoid playing GT3 due to the bad soundtrack (IMO. I only have maybe 3 set to play while racing), and the mediocre sound effects and graphics, but all this stuff makes me want to go back to it again! BTW I have the NTSC-J version, so if you have any question on it I might be able to answer

I think that's why they added the option to turn off certain songs

I'm glad they did! Most of them just sound like some one banging on pots and yelling a lot

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I loved quite a few of the songs in GT3 to be honest.

We all have our preferences, I understand (^ー゜)

Which Version of GT3?
I liked a lot of them...please don't hurt me

ψ(｀∇´)ψ NTSC-J

 

[GTE4everyone]

Either that or a miss-mash of malfunctioning electric stuff

 

[HDT Commodore]

The soundtracks are different between PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J, so that might make people's opinions different, but I don't know by how much.

 

[Castrol96]

Go race beta.

Final

 

[JakeMR2]

Go race beta.

Final

There is an odd race I see in the beta picture...

called: 2068 J-Drivers??? A cut event?

Edit:

2-Player Beta on Smokey Mountain South, quite not so good lighting.

 

[NoGoodNames]

Go race beta.

Final

Intresting beta Go Race screen. It appears it had a list of events on the left side and it probably scrolled similar to how
the car list for a class in Arcade Mode scrolls. It also appears the Beginner League and Amateur League's images swapped places in the final. And what is that weird logo next to the Amateur League while it's being highlighted in the beta? Another weird thing I noticed is that the event list seems to show all events from Professional League, while Amateur League is highlighted. I also see several typos, such as:

-FF, FR, MR, & 4WD Charange
-Italian Avant Guarde
-Crio Trophy

And on that note, here's the beta Sim Mode menu:

(sorry for grainy image, came straight of the US manual)

VS the final:

 

[SVX]

-FF, FR, MR, & 4WD Charange
-Italian Avant Guarde
-Crio Trophy

Those would be due to Japanese dialect - there's no 'l'.

 

[GTE4everyone]

Well, there is the letter "れ" which sounds like "le". Then again, most keyboards type that letter by putting in "re".

Interesting. It had that text on top, much like GT2 had on the bottom

 

[Castrol96]

Might be old news but I discovered the ancient GT3 website has a track called "Speedway" listed in the tracks and no this is separate to Super Speedway as scene below.

Maybe, PD were going to keep the beta version as well as the final?

 

[NoGoodNames]

It might be just a typo. You see it underneath Grand Valley? Obviously the full name of GV is Grand Valley Speedway, and maybe they were trying to put the full name in, but instead ended up with that extra "Speedway" below it. Still would be cool to see both versions of Super Speedway in GT3 at the same time.

It looks like Tokyo Route 246 had a dusk setting at one point:

That looks really good. Too bad they didn't include it
