Rage Racer Extended (Mod 1.3) - Standard GP

A full longplay of Rage Racer with the mod I've made.
Playing with the rear camera is quite hard, this is not a "pro playing random game", just a showcase of the mod having fun with it.
Requirements:
Game region: USA
Emulator: Beetle PSX on RetroArch
Cheat engine
Download 1.3
(new cars, improved some textures, added hotkeys for my cheat table)

Finally Rival cars can be drivable !!! 🏎🔥🔥🏁🏁

[@safeasf_uck7020]

wow, nice mod mate! And you can actually drive which is nice to watch, game is hard as fuck, took me a good 2 days of absolutely smashing it to get good. Playing on a good emulator certainly helps.

[@assoluto76]

Thanks! Well, I've been playing this game for a long time, but it's a challenge every time!

[@b1gland]

Ohhh! Happy to see a Rage Racer without collision punishiment!

[@assoluto76]

What do you mean?

[@b1gland]

@@assoluto76 Oh I think I made a mistake. You see in Rage Racer having collision with other cars or smashing the wall gives you a decent speed reduce and you are unable to acclerate for a while. I thought you have removed them in the video but no lol. Perhaps it could be a good idea.

[@assoluto76]

@@b1gland Oh I see now, it's annoying for sure but probably that would make the game too easy.

[@philadams9254]

1:37:19 What a move! Totally surreal to watch that car do stuff like that...

[@assoluto76]

I was a little lucky, driving cars in third person in this game is not easy!

[@FcWARREN]

My guy! I have been trying to do this for a very very long time lol! Thank you so much, I have tried Cheat Engine model swapping, Ollydbg, rom dumping, you name it. You're awesome, thank you very much.

[@assoluto76]

You're welcome!

[@FcWARREN]

@@assoluto76 I have the address for my Rom/Emulator to control the camera if you want it to showcase your mod! 2009E578 is a single byte address, 0 = Bumper Camera 1 = Rear View Camera 2 = Cinematic Camera (end of race camera) very useful for showing cars from all different angles. If the address doesn't work for you, let me know and i'll try and find a copy of your rom and find it!

[@assoluto76]

@@FcWARREN Ah thank you! Yes, could be useful.

[@nodreally6720]

Very cool video and mod! When i played this game as a kid/teenager, I always wondered where exactly the rival cars start on the track, on the grid. How far does the 1st rival car start, is it like half a track ahead right from the start? I also wondered if slower cars overtake each other, of course i knew that there are 4 faster rival cars in every race, but what about other 7. I also wanted to compare and measure their exact speed. And sometimes i took a class 5 car into class 1 race and bumped into the slowest 11th car so that it overtakes the 10th car :DD

Unfortunatelly this mod didn't work in my environment（Nothing happened in my texture-dump folder） but my childhood dream come true finally🔥

[@assoluto76]

@@user-ct8jp6wp8f Sorry to hear it, have you tried to watch this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4Wmint4gbt_gqcsi=3zoOly8R06iWv6mo

​@@assoluto76 Yes I tried to setup with this video. 1. Change the driver to Vulkan (my GPU is GTX1080 ...a little bit old 😵‍💫) 2. Track Textures : ON , and close Retro Arch. 3. Open Retro Arch & run the game and press [F1] => Dump Texture & ReplaceTexture : ON 4. Create new 2 folders in my gamefolder and rename them to ["gamename"-texture-dump] & ["gamename"-texture-replacements] (2:30 in this tutorial video) 5. Run the game (I checked TrackTexture & DumpTexture & ReplaceTexture all ON) but No images (.png, .jpg ...etc) generated in my -texture-dump folder...

[@assoluto76]

@@user-ct8jp6wp8f Remember that the "gamename" must be exactly the name of your ISO (without file format, so don't put ".bin" or anything else), otherwise it won't work. You also don't need to turn on "dump textures", do It now as a test but switch that off if you manage to let it work, you don't need them unless you want to customize them your self, leaving that option on affects game performance and you'll find tons and tons of textures on the folder.

[@user-ct8jp6wp8f]

@@assoluto76 I copy and paste the iso name. exactly same name. No ".bin" or anything. but it doesn't work... OK, Dump Texture OFF (my problem is no dumping any images so nothing changed).

[@assoluto76]

@@user-ct8jp6wp8f So the replacement works but dumping textures not?

[@philadams9254]

1:29:45 Wow. I always wanted to paint my car that way in the game to match the grade 3 rival but never could. Amazing work.

[@assoluto76]

Me too, many rival car liveries and colors are much better than player ones. I always wanted to drive the rival cars in general, especially the 3th grade ones.

[@philadams9254]

@@assoluto76 It would be good if this game could get the remastering treatment. They remastered/remixed the music recently so the Namco team still have some interest in it.

This is wild. How have I not seen this yet... Dude, nice work on this! 😁 By any chance, have you got any idea how to extract the entire world map into one composite image, top down? 🗺 ... I can only dream of such a project!

Thank you! Don't know actually, I consider my self lucky because I'm interested only about the cars, and those textures are fine.

[@assoluto76]

Thanks. More informations are inside the .rar file. I'm currently not interested to work on R4.

[@Lucycat-rn1tw]

Very nice Mod!!! I'm impressed... Is it difficult to get the same wheel texture as the rival vehicle...?

[@assoluto76]

Hi, thank you! I've never tried, for sure the rim texture goes in a separate texture, and I've never seemed to see particular rims among the opposing cars, I think they share the same one.

[@Lucycat-rn1tw]

@@assoluto76 I see... I asked this question because the wheels on the Bulldog, Squaldon, and other Devil Cars were a different color than the wheels on my competitors' cars Thanks for the great mods!

@@Lucycat-rn1tw Oh i see now! Well, yes, there is a way to modify even the rims of the player's cars, I can try to take a look sooner or later.

[@Lucycat-rn1tw]

@@assoluto76 From a quick look, it appears that rival vehicles do not have wheel textures for when the vehicle is stopped. The same textures were used while stopped as while driving.

I tried ro get this mod to work but no matter what I do I just can't get it to work. I read the instructions with how to do it with cheat engine but I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm supposed to be changing. Could you please tell me what it is I'm looking for in cheat engine? Thanks!

[@assoluto76]

Hi, Cheat Engine only needs if you want to change some aspects of the game + some cheats in order to customize the game as you wish BUT you don't need it to play with the custom textures, that is and emulator feature. Anyway, I don't understand what your problem is.

[@paultaylor_yt3577]

@@assoluto76 Oh ok, I have the texture tracking and replace textures setting on and I am running the emulator in PSX HW the only other issue I have is that whenever I try to set my Anti-Aliasing to 16x the emulator crashes but other than that I don't understand why the textures do not show up. Should it still kind of work even if I don't have it at 16x? I should also mention I had also placed the ISO file in with the Rage Racer texture folder but even that doesn't do anything. Do I need to put the folder somewhere specific?
