Updates

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).

This patch refines the range of trigger inputs in the stock Type 3 mapping, and adds a new Type 6 mapping, mirroring the bindings from the Xbox version.

This Lua script enables a full day/night cycle in the Ultra Dynamic Sky UE5 plugin, used by the game.

Just in time for the release of the newest Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025, I published my tutorial on importing custom decals into the game. Now you can place any sticker on your car! Head to Importing custom decals into Tokyo Xtreme Racer (2025) for details.

My existing patch for Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero has been updated to support split-screen properly. Now both 3D and the HUD scale correctly also in this game mode.
