Okay, I finally figured out how to unlock Bunta in Free Battle This is basically what I did on my playthrough: 1. I never upgrade my car (I used a Stock AE86 from beginning to end of Story mode), also I think you can tune your car but I didn't. 2. Be at Level 'Master' before fighting Takumi, in order to do that you can actually grind if you didn't challenge Keisuke for the 2nd time Basically here's my win ratio to all the characters in the story mode; Iketani : 3-0 Nakazato : 2-0 Keisuke : 3-0 Mako & Sayuki : 3-0 Shingo : 3-0 (I didn't include Kyoichi 'cause I only fought him once on my playthrough) 3. Beat Ryousuke before fighting Takumi, in order to do that you must beat Keisuke for the 3rd time and then a cutscene occurs between you, and Ryousuke. In the next day, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE ANY CHARACTER because it can be AVOIDABLE, at 1:31:50 the person challenged Nakazato instead of skipping it, if you did skip/refuse to challenge then another cutscene occurs in Akagi and you will fight Ryousuke. After you beat Takumi, you can go to free battle and fight Bunta and there you have it.

I would prefer a english patch 😭

Me too And more songs But I need your love sounds pretty cool, I would like if they put also You're gonna be

[@ITMenterprises]

Immediately knew the song, I need your love! I wish they did some 8bit versions of some official songs used in the anime, tho I do like the eurobeat inspired soundtrack of the original.

Can you make a tutorial based on each action you choosed before the turn?

[@eduardo99148]

[@stich.991]

Unfortunately, I don’t have too much time at the moment to prepare a detailed video tutorial regarding the different driving techniques (still, I might get around doing one in the future). Back in the day when I started playing this game I referenced this guide idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=43874 for “learning” (more like memorizing the alphabet) the different techniques present in the game. For starters, the game prompts you to make 3 choices while you’re getting closer to a corner: the position of your car (by moving left or right), the braking technique and lastly the “approaching” technique (there’s no official name for this one, it’s basically the last choice before entering the corner). The game has 3 main types of corner: High Speed, Low Speed and Hairpins (and obviously combinations of these 3); as you might guess, the trick is to use High Speed or Low Speed braking and “approaching” techniques depending on the corner you’re a facing, while also keeping the Parameters high (Tire, Brake and Spirit). If you want some sort of hint to help you determine whether you chose the right Braking technique watch out for the text displayed right after the second prompted choice: - If “オーバースピード気味でコーナーへ向かう!!” ( example at 36:49 ) is displayed It literary means you’re entering the corner too quickly (overspeed), in the next prompted choice don’t use slow (grip) “approaching” techniques or you will lose Tires and Spirit points, although drift techniques are good. - If “マシンを適正速慮にコントロール!!” ( example at 7:16 ) is displayed It means you are entering the corner while keeping the car under control, this means you can use Grip “approaching” techniques without any problem . Moreover, the outcome of your choices is also determined by the Parameters, even though the techniques you chose for both braking and “corner approaching” might be correct, if these Parameters are near zero you will suddenly and randomly make mistakes. There are more things to be considered (like the position of the car or specific strategies for each opponent) but I think these are the most important things to look out for, at least for being able to start playing the game. I’d suggest learning and recognizing the techniques listed in the guide while taking a look at my hints and trying for yourself.

hi, ive been trying to change some of the graphics for this game (i am an absolute noob at romhacking and dont know the basics) and im wondering if you could help me as youve changed the first image to display your name, im sorry if this comment isnt understandable, but english isnt my first language

[@stich.991]

Unfortunately I was able to just edit the intro screen, since both screen were in black and white guessing the colors wasn't too difficult (as for the correct pallette for the blue part in my logo it was found completely randomly). Generally speaking, editing the graphics is quite troublesome if you don't know how to use the editing tools (trust me, I tried countles programs until I found the ones that were the most suited for the job). The 3 programs I used were: GBAGE, Tile Molester and Photoshop (but you can use GIMP of course). Basically I found the offsets of the graphics I wanted to edit with Tile Molester, I then opened GBAGE and went exactly to the offset I just found and clicked "Save as a Bitmap", I edited the newly created image with Photoshop and then finally I went back to TIle Molester and replace the old graphics with the new graphics I made in Photoshop I would suggest taking a look at some tutorials to help understand better the steps I took to edit the intro screen. I also leave you some helpful documentation on the programs I used: tutorial.feuniverse.us/gfx/gbage wiki.metroidconstruction.com/doku.php?id=general:guides:tile_molester_graphics_guide

Hey I played this game quite a bit but I don't know how to unlock Bunta in free race. I found a guide online which said beat Ryosuke and so I did but Bunta is still not unlocked. What am I supposed to do?

[@stich.991]

I am not 100% sure about it but I think it has to do with your “driving level” or the “winning percentage” (or maybe even both). After beating an opponent the result screen will show up ( for example at 42:17 ), on the left you will see (in order from top to bottom) how many times you faced that opponent, how many times you won and how many you lost; lastly the game will tell you the “winning percentage” (it’s just the ratio between how many times you won vs how many times you faced that opponent, for example, if you raced that opponent 4 times and you only lost once you would get a rating of 75%). On the same screen the game will show your “tuning points” balance (it’s the sentence on the red stripe below the winning percentage; “合計チューニングポイント” in Japanese… You use them to buy upgrades for your car) and below that your “driving level” (sentence on the blue stripe, “あなたのドライビングレベル” in Japanese; I am not sure how the game calculates how many levels you receive from a particular win but I suppose it has to do with your opponent and how far in you are in the story; in this playthrough I faced Keisuke 3 times and the game gave me 7, 8 and 9 levels respectively each time I won, meanwhile I raced Nakazato twice and I got 4 and 5 levels respectively). I did 5 complete playthroughs to test the changes I made to the game (for the Rom Hack) and I unlocked Bunta each time (but I never challenged Ryosuke); in each playthrough I never lost to an opponent and if my character wasn’t challenged by somebody I would use the phone to arrange a race ( example at 1:31:38 )… I would never leave a day go by without racing somebody. My suggestion would be to win everytime and also to phone skilled opponents (like Keisuke and Kyoichi) if you don’t have a race planned after work… this way you will have a 100% “winning percentage” with each opponent and you will get a lot of “driving levels” from all of those races (for reference, in this playthrough I got to level 82 after Takumi and I unlocked Bunta).

[@Vlat_]

@@stich.991 hm... It's kinda weird I tried the same but nothing worked maybe I should try again. Also I have another question is EG6 completely useless?

[@stich.991]

@@Vlat_ I also did some more research to the requirements for unlocking Bunta, according to one user on this ( game.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/poke/1019023936/?v=pc ) board one of the requirements is to listen to the store manager story, apparently in his story he directly refers to Bunta, describing him as the fastest (and craziest) driver of Akina (you can find this dialogue in this video between 17:42 and 17:47 ... I went through the dialogue really quickly but watch out for "文太“, it's the Japanese word for "Bunta")... Maybe the choices you make at the gas station can be requirements for unlocking Bunta. As for the EG6, I think I used it once for the story mode but I did not like it, as it is a FF car the game won't let you use Drifting Techniques (except for the Handbrake Drift during hairpins). It is a quite difficult car to use (especially if you don't upgrade it). That said, its Brakes and Tyres are quite better compared to the stock AE86, so if you make mistakes during a race you will not lose too many Brake and Tyres points. If you want a more different challenge where you have to use only slow Grip techniques that's the best car.

[@Vlat_]

@@stich.991 I also wonder if there are any differences between the FR cars and 4WD and what difference does upgrading make? For example if I upgrade the brakes will I use less brake points or will it be easier to overtake? And what about other upgrades?

How come there's not many instruments in these songs?

[@stich.991]

I had to cut a lot of instruments because of hardware limitations. When I tested the songs with every instrument they would in the best outcome replace and overlap the sound of the engine, and worstly the game would lag like crazy or the song would become just noise garbage

What is the cheat codes in this game ?

[@merceze]

English hack??

[@stich.991]

My knowledge of text editing in rom hacking is kinda limited, especially when the original rom is in Japanese (nonetheless, I tried my hand at this game too, but with no avail). I did some translations in the past but they all were from English to Italian. Moreover, although I'm able to understand some Japanese I wouldn't say that I'm capable of properly translate it.

[@merceze]

@@stich.991 oh ok, what about a translator like Google translate

[@stich.991]

@@merceze That could also work, but unfortunately it doesn't answer the "how" ... Japanese ROMs tend to have different behaviours when it comes to text encoding than English ones... Not only you need to find where in the rom the text is located, but you also need to find a proper character-table that can decode the text from Hex (data is stored as hexadecimal numbers in the ROM, a character-table assigns a specific hex number to a specific character). For latin based alphabets it's pretty straight forward guessing the character-table since there are only 26 characters in total, but when it comes to Japanese it's a totally different story. To put that in prospective, the Japanese language uses 3 different alphabets (on top of the Latin one) and each one has at least 76 characters, making recursive text search a nightmare. On top of that the game has a fixed room for text that cannot be expanded... and since Japanese usually uses less characters per word than English it's also difficult coming up with short English words that would fit in the space. TL;DR: Japanese text editing is complicated and as much as I would love to translate the game I'm not able to edit the text :(
