Top Gear 3000 maximum speed?

invictius · Post by **invictius** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 5:45 pm

What's the maximum speed you've reached in this game? The guy at gamefaqs says he's reached 750, I remember getting to about that figure before emulators even existed, but I haven't been able to find a track straight enough now that we're in emulation land. I've gotten to http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/2718 ... 019if9.png 600 kph... I'd love to know the maximum theoretical speed but I can't hack for nuts. The problem with finding out practically is that once the best parts are available, the tracks have more twists than a pot of spaghetti. Plus, could you imagine being able to corner on a F1 race track at 600+ kph? It's pretty impossible in san andreas!

The simple fact that you've created effectively 3 threads on virtually the same topic is astounding, and should be halted immediately.

Hacking the game, asking for codes, and asking about key configs, a general question, are "virtually the same topic?"

Well, like it or not, I'm going to start another "virtually the same topic" - collision detection... it's a forum for questions about zsnes and the games that you can play with it. Deal with it.

Oh, and 683 kph: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/8995/683kphsi1.png

As long as they're all about the same thing (which I'm guessing is all about Top Gear 3000), why not post it in your first Top Gear 3000 thread ?

You had to mispell Top Gear 3000 to beat the filter? That is seriously pathetic.

Didn't sound like I'd have a chance any other way... though if you want me to spam the board to all heck trying to bypass the filter, you're welcome to give me permission to try...

Hey...

Now that that quote from Byuu was brought back up..

There IS a mod for phpbb2 which can remove redundant bbcode used to circumvent the word filters...

Why do people even use redundant bbcode to circumvent filters?

So you're saying there's other ways to cleanly go around the filters ?

I thought you knew already. Top Gear 3000. Of course, that can only be applied to filtered expressions that have spaces.

Top Gear 3000

Huh. Well how about that. Putting an extra space after the Gear and before the 3000 defeats it.

EDIT: Apparently the filter triggers on Top Gear 3, but also takes out the 000.

The extra space can be between Top and Gear too, naturally...

... This discussion is boring. :p

Heh, let's try and make it fun again

ok, I'll try keeping everything in the same topic, but if I don't get a response within a few days, I'll assume things just don't work as well that way:

In the game, it seems like action replay etc codes are fairly easily made for numerical figures, such as cash and nitro boosts left. However, with, for example, fuel gages - is there any hex value that would give you infiinite fuel? I think it's a timing thing, also, with a less powerful engine, you use less fuel - obviously - which also complicates things. Can hex codes only be used for numerical values?

No. But finding these "special" codes is almost impossible without understanding the game's code.

(Btw. "hex" is a format for displaying number values. It's not much different from "decimal".)

I know hex as in "converting a number from decimal to hex" but not "using cheats in a game by using hex values"

Anyway, here's a "metered" code for top gear 1:

Code: Select all

C225-6429

Though that has bars for fuel, whereas tg3k has a true meter. Plus, I doubt that guy understood the game code.

Someone mentioned that extracting the palette/graphics for a certain game would require understanding the game code, but Earthbound seems to have all this and more done to it. I take it that's due to the huge EB following online?

You can extract them without knowing the code, for example with savestate tools. *points to sig*

Here's one for y'all:

Code: Select all

EEC9-3D06 Start With Over 6X More Fuel (note) (note) Don't recharge or fuel capacity goes back to normal.

How would I increase that to something like, 60x, apply it to the armor meter, and/or disable the fuel capacity "bug"?
