Developer Options#

There are several developer options that exist within the code for the game that are still checked for on startup. While these options are usually disabled, using a cheat tool like CWCheat, one can enable these options again.

SkipFE#

_C0 SkipFE
_L 0x002F5F28 0x00000001

When enabled before starting the game, this option skips the startup screens entirely and immediately loads a race against 3 other players named AI 1-3.

_L 0x002f5f38 0x000000??

Specifies the number of laps in the race enabled with SkipFE.

UseTGSCar#

_C0 UseTGSCar

When combined with the SkipFE option, this loads the test race with opponents named "Test Driver" instead of AI 1-3.

_L 0x002f5fd4 0x00000001

This option unlocks all cars in the game. You'll still need to buy them though.

Disables use of the analog stick.

SkipIntros#
