There's only one Japanese and European version each, but US NTSC version has 3 versions:
- 1.0: Identified by it's 5000Cr car wash (in reality you are paying 50Cr), Muscle Cup license is incorrect, Mark Martin Taurus SHO is available, and 98,2% completion. Also present machine test bug.
- 1.1: Identified by it's 50Cr car wash (fixed), Muscle Cup license is incorrect, Mark Martin
Taurus SHO is gone, and 98,2% completion. Also present machine test
bug.
- 1.2: Identified by it's 50Cr car wash, Muscle Cup license is correct (Intl. A), Mark Martin
Taurus SHO is gone, and 100% completion. Machine test
bug is gone.
FLAWS
1. Machine Test Bug
What's machine test bug? A machine test bug is
THE MOST DANGEROUS bug, that's fixed on 1.1, and 1.2 (my version). This bug replaces your precious car collection with No Name cars, and corrupts the game saves. Some even did ACE (arbitrary code execution)!
ACE Proof
2.The Car Wash That Overcharges You
This bug is leftover from Japanese Version, because their credit is different (50Cr = 50.000Cr in Japanese Version)
3.Bimmer Cannot Change The Wheels
If you owns BMW (any of them) and goes to wheels shop, it says you cannot participate in this race. wut? This bug happens due to licensing issues, that the BMW don't want have their wheels changed!
However, there's gameshark code for this issue. This GS code replaces Car Wash with wheels shop, with eligibility of Bimmers! (see
this video)
