16:9 Widescreen hack
Cheat originally made by HugoStanced, ported to versions other than NTSC-U 1.0 and PAL by me.
A 16:9 cheat that does not cut off the objects on screen edges. When using this cheat, a 16:9 Widescreen Hack should be disabled.

60 FPS
Cheat originally made by asasega. I ported it to more game versions and expanded it with more features.
An improved 60 FPS cheat. I expanded it to re-enable tire smoke effects, originally disabled for performance reasons when running the game in Hi-Fi mode (that mode is not present in GT2, but it’s a leftover from GT1).

Metric units code
A code changing measurement units in the NTSC-U version of the game from imperial to metric.
Currently converted units:
- Speed (mph -> km/h)
- Weight (lb -> kg)
- Distance (ft -> m)
- Torque (lb/ft -> kg/m)
To do:
- Spring rate (lb/in -> kg/mm)
PAL version of the cheat fixes a “Launch speed at X mph” text, which was wrongly labeled as showing miles per hour, but showed kilometers per hour.
