Build Date#

The executables have a build number, complete with a commit number in some cases:
Note how the PS2 EUR build date is erroneously labelled as September 24, 12 days after its official release date. Its actual build date should be June 24.

Framerate, Position, and more

The GameCube version displays some memory info at the top, and the Xbox version doesn't display the build tag nor the elapsed time unlike the others. All of the props also have a number displayed on them.

XML Debug Options#

To do: Check and confirm if this has any effect on PS2 and GCN too. As well as (if possible) document which bytes in memory are toggled by these options in the section above.

On the Xbox version, adding the options to a Config.xml file allows you to toggle various other debugging options.

Unused Graphics#

Only in the European Xbox version there is a System folder with two placeholder graphics:

missing.bog

white.bog

A small 16×16 graphic with nothing but the color white. This file can also be found in Hot Wheels World Race’s init folder.
