Updates

As time goes on, there are increasingly many interesting indie racers that I follow and talk about. As I started losing track of some individual games and people started asking me for recommendations, I now host my own list of noteworthy indies!

Thanks to a contribution from Bo, Bonus Codes generators for LMA Manager 2003 to 2006 have been published.

I forked D2GI, a graphics wrapper and a widescreen fix for Hard Truck 2: King of the Road, and expanded it with several new fixes and support for King of the Road 1.3 (digital releases).

Enables the full Xbox controls layout, including the menu navigation and pressure-sensitive triggers.

I published 60 FPS patches for PlayStation 2 and GameCube versions of NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona. Both previous and next games from Monster Games using the same engine targetted 60 FPS, while Dirt to Daytona was an outlier. Because of this, the game (unsurprisingly) supports 60 FPS flawlessly.

Six new patches for Gran Turismo 2000 have been published:

• Car Select
• Widescreen fix
• No time limit
• Trigger control mappings
• Automatic DualShock mode
• Throttle/brake on the right stick

A bug in GTA San Andreas lay dormant for over 20 years, until unrelated changes in Windows 11 24H2 triggered it. This is a deep dive into how a simple coding mistake erased all seaplanes from the game and made them completely unusable. You can read more on the main blog: How a 20 year old bug in GTA San Andreas surfaced in Windows 11 24H2.

A small update for SilentPatch for Yakuza Kiwami 2 has been released:

• Cap Karaoke to 60 FPS to resolve a softlock when starting the minigame together with Haruka.

SilentPatch for the PC and PS2 versions of Need for Speed: Underground is now out:

Two new patches for Need for Speed: Carbon and Need for Speed: ProStreet have been added:

• A patch to fix the career cash bonus not checking for a NFS Most Wanted: Black Edition save (Carbon & ProStreet).
• A port of a native widescreen patch (by Xan1242 & Aero_) to the PAL releases (ProStreet).
