How much of this can be accessed with, say, a Gameshark on a US of the full game? I heard the Porsche, the Stratos, and the Diablo can be had that way, but the Mustang is also relevant to my interests.

Are we even allowed to say Gameshark here?

Only GT5 hybriding methods cannot be discussed. Anything else is fine.

You won't be able to find the Mustang in the final game, but the Porsche, Stratos and Diablo can be uncovered.

Only the PAL games don't have these.
 
Yeah, the 911, Stratos and Diablo bodies don't exist in the PAL version. I don't know why. I think the specs exist though. They default to a Mira/Cuore body. I don't know why the bodies don't exist in the PAL version, or why the Mira is the RX7 A Spec LM of car bodies in GT3.
 
Kind of late response, but taking a look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlCX8rYugwE at 1:58, it shows the GT2 speedway in GT3, but like Xenn said, you can't race on it with cars visible. So explain this, how can in that clip multiple cars race at it, when in the demo you can't race with a car visible?

That video must have been an early trailer for GT3. They might have kept the GT2 version of Super Speedway to see how it looks but then modified it after the video was released.

Due to reasons I can't go into i'm afraid. If I did, i'd be breaking the AUP.

I haven't heard anything about GT4 in a while Xenn, you still searchin'?

Haven't had much time to do anything really. But it's still going.
 
all the hidden cars are european (diablo & stratos italian, 911 german, f1s european, cerbera uk) apart from the m-spec, so i think the euro cars bodies were deleted so pd wouldn't get into trouble which explains why the m-spec and extra miatas are there (although they probably had a licence for them but saw them useless). I looked at the samples in the pal game and all are miras except for 001, the rx-7. (i haven't checked 006 yet so it might be a correct body.) i don't see why the rsxs are miras.

also, the stratos wrc, diablo and sample 001 have all gear ratios at 64.537. so reverse is forward and forward is reverse. if you change them to normal levels it fixes up though. sample 001 requires a hybrid tranny however because it is the only one with a fixed 'box.

does anyone want to see the hidden miatas (j limited, j lim II, vr lim, spoiler, rollcage) and the v-spec s2000 branded as plain s2000?

thanks to sonygamer455, without his xps>psv conversion i wouldn't be able to drive these.
 
Oh I see. So, about the drag mode in that GT2 Demo, is there any possibility of a drag track existing, or something related to it except for the menu option only?
 
i think there is a thread similar to this but for gt2 where they discus every inch of that.

(btw, there's no drag strips whatsoever, but the thread should still interest you.)

also, you guys might be interested in the "anyone noticing this" gt3 thread. it's similar to this but anyone can contribute not just hybriders and code diggers
 
Well if someone wants to see progress on finding hidden things, and helping out Xenn, then this thread is ok. I will check that thread anyway. I like seeing hidden content on Gran Turismo series.
 
There doesn't seem to be any kind of drag racing track in GT2, nor in the demos either. Which is strange, considering there's cars that are suited for such thing.

But anyway, seeing as I got some spare time today, i'll continue looking through the part codes to see if those other hidden cars have their parts.
 
Also, here's a little curiosity.

In arcade, highlight free run, notice something in the option's background?
 
Yep

I checked it on an emulator. Put my GT3 CD on and tried it. I don't see anything rather than a part where it is reverse. other than that, I don't see the classic roof at the second corner.
 
Anyway, I really hope to see more hidden content, like the racing Mercedes that was removed from GT2, but shown in eaaaarly demo pictures, in GT3, if it exists.

i didn't mean ditch this thread, just look at this too. i thought people here might also be interested and i wanted to support the thread. sorry, i worded that post badly

also, is it normal to see a f1 demo at the start when you don't press anything?

and are there any places where the chrysler viper appears in ntsc? in pal, it's a combination between dodge and chrysler though you never see the dodge ingame.

oh, it's all ingame cars, i wondered if ntsc cars would come up but if they did they'd be miras. i reset for some reason and waited and it reappeared. i was just surprised because my edited file was from a file i downloaded and they'd unlocked the f1 race.

i saw the roll cage and spoiler miatas in a youtube video and in gt3gedit i saw heaps of NAs so i checked them out and found different models like in gt4. gt3 almost had the many millions of miatas that are well known in gt4/5.
 
in pal the hidden cars are:
DODGE viper team oreca (instead of chrysler)
sample 001 (rx-7 lm)
sample 002-005 - mira body
sample 006 - in ntsc it is a silver block not sure in pal
sample 007-010 - mira body
r34 m-spec
stratos/diablo/911/stratos rally car - mira body
4 ntsc f1s - mira body
many miatas (j-lim, spoiler, roll cage blah blah)
s2000 type v which is named without the type v

the weird part is even though the mira body cars are pal only where they are called cuore, the logo says mira (i think)

also, in arcade mode where all the track names fade in and out in the background, one says "Dirt Rac" (the E is off the edge of the screen) the d is partly obscured but nothing is before "dirt rac" or you'd see the top of the letters. it appears after "Tokyo R246" and before "ahiti Dirt" which it shares its font with. it is almost inline with single race.
 
if you open gt3 in windows explorer, can you see the car files? are they separate files? if so, what are their names? "s4_00" like in gt3gedit? i mean, could i look for the other samples like 411? i think xenn of gt-r emokid should look fo more samples as 411 must exist we just need to find it.

Sample 411? Interesting...

Maybe it's one of the cars in this ID list that i'm still going through.
