Damn you Ubi Soft! It looked so promising:
Code: Select all
;(From romdisk.dat)
GLOBAL FUNCTION fnSetMaxOpponents ()
INT iMax
BEGIN
IF(Project.eGameStyle==veRetro)
BEGIN
IF(Project.bMultiPlayer)
BEGIN
iMax=Project.iMaxMultiRetro-2
END
ELSE
BEGIN
iMax=Project.iMaxRetro-1
END
Project.iNbOpponent=iMax
END
ELSE
BEGIN
IF(Project.eGameMode==veTimeAttack)
BEGIN
Project.iNbOpponent=9
END
ELSE
BEGIN
IF(Project.bMultiPlayer)
BEGIN
iMax=22
END
ELSE
BEGIN
iMax=Project.iMax-1
END
Project.iNbOpponent=iMax
END
END
;CALL Project.fnCalcNbPilote()
iMax=0
Project.iGridPos[iMax]=1
iMax=1
Project.iGridPos[iMax]=2
END y;
Making me think that I could easily change the 6 player limit all for nothing!
Too bad it only sets the number of multiplayer AI opponents, seemingly when you are loading a save file...

I'm working with a non-CDDA GDI image that works with my setup in Demul and DreamShell. If you want to swap music tracks you probably should ask MrNeo for help
Meanwhile just turn it off in the options, your GD drive laser will surely thank you for that.

Serious ? I thought it was jus the FMVs that wear and music tracks tickle o.0
I just noticed the sound options ! If I crank the music slider all the way down they won't play ? Rather than playing on mute

For the laser it doesn't matter whether the GD motor is tickling or performing the DC typical "DJ scratches" it still has to send light up to the GD in order to read data and therefore wearing off.

That of course depends on the programming and the libraries used by Ubi Soft.
If they were lazy they might have just muted the music instead of disabling it.
I doubt it however. The DC SDK most likely takes care of that by sending the laser in sleeping mode when no data is being read.
Btw. from my experience playing my Q3 non-CDDA image from SD card, muting the music gets rid of lots of in game slowdowns, even though it shouldn't matter since there are no CDDA tracks to read.
TLDR; As a rule of thumb if your game iso has no music tracks or you don't like the included one there is really no reason not to turn it off in the options.

Hey mrneo, thanks for posting.
Is there any gameshark/codbreaker code available? Dreamshell does support widescreen patches so it would be a matter of creating additional 60Fps shortcut for the released iso rather than having two separate images for 30 and 60 fps and therefore wasting hdd/sd space.

the first 2 lines is a gameshark code.
second is if you were modifying an original dump.

DS only works with Codebreaker then. It didnt accept the one you posted, saying something about wrong number format. I did patch the 1stread.bin though. Haven't tested it long enough, but it it seems to make the car go crazy at spots, jumping around and some similarly random stuff. It did help to lessen the most grave slowdown in the Monaco track. The one at the downward curve before the tunnel.
Not sure how this could affect the online mode. It might be causing some issues in synchronization.
