ENTIRE F-Zero AX Found inside F-Zero GX

[purechaos996]

Wow.....it's hard to believe that this was hidden for so long, like it's been years since the games been released and no one noticed it, it makes you wonder what else has been hidden away in games yet to be discovered. really cool find!

 

[J-Machine]

Wow, that's amazing. I would've thought that the chances of something like this happening were... F-Zero.

...

Okay, I'm done.

Reminded me of this:

It's like the pun that keeps on giving!

 

[chyyran]

Gonna have to try this in Dolphin sometime.

 

[Taleweaver]

You have GOT to be kidding me. An ENTIRE GAME was hidden for years within another game?

Wow...gotta say my birthday starts out nice already. And I've only been awake for like thirty minutes.

Explains the AX cup.However I find this very interesting.....

Who would ever guess the Triforce cabinet had a preloader and a gamecube in them!

 

[DJPlace]

hmmmmm.... so that's where that little fat kid came from...

If this is a ghetto Triforce loader, I wonder if it can accept other Triforce roms?

I played with it for a bit, and judging from the presentation (The 'Save Replay' menu is named 'F-Zero GX Menu'), I'd say that it just has the resources of AX in GX, and it swaps them out and modifies where fit.

Confirmed working in Dolphin

Oh snap! Time to bust out dolphin again

I guess a bit of an update,

The PAL code does not work on actual hardware, I've tested and it's been reported before. A bit of a disappointment for PAL users such as myself.

The NTSC code supposedly does. I wouldn't know.

Note, I'm using NeoGamma to boot my disc with the .gct in the 'codes' folder on my SD card. It detects the file (Says 'Patching codes' or whatever), but doesn't work caus PAL.

So you mean to tell me that if I use my Action Replay on my GX game I get this?

So you mean to tell me that if I use my Action Replay on my GX game I get this?

AXactly....... Just make sure you use the NTSC version of the game.
Some users reported difficulty to make the cheat work on the PAL release.

 

[Hadrian]

So I'm gonna have to be the one to use this huh?

 

[BORTZ]

I have a friend who will be very happy about this.

THE F-ZERO FRANCHISE STILL LIVES!!!!!!!!! XD

 

[duffmmann]

Man, I love shit like this. Something hidden deep in a game for years that finally gets discovered. Like how the Memory manager screen in the Gamecube is just a really slowed down version of the Famicom Disk System theme. Or the pilot of South Park being hidden in the first Tiger Woods PGA tour game for the Playstation (though I don't think that was hidden for too long). Makes me wonder what else has just been sitting there not yet discovered.

THE F-ZERO FRANCHISE STILL LIVES!!!!!!!!! XD

It was already living... in my heart.

 

[squablo]

Ok. I have the NTSC retail disc, and I also am using devolution through wiiflow, can I make this work? Absolutely love F-zero. Somebody drop some knowledge on me!!!

Found out about this yesterday, and got it working using DIOS MIOS with USBLoaderGX & Ocarina/gct file method, runs a treat!
Was actually this place where I figured out how to do it too: http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-use-ocarina-with-dios-mios.330291/
squablo, I use neither wiiflow or devolution so I dunno, it's probably a different method, but I'm assuming it shouldn't be too difficult...

It's not like these tracks weren't playable in GX in the first place, you could unlock AX by either being good at the game (US/EU versions only) or taking your memory card to a F-Zero AX arcade unit. If unlocking them normally is too hard for you then use a code to do it, though I highly suggest taking your time and try to do it on your own. It's really satisfying and really helps you improve your game, there are excellent guides on how to do it on the net.

Still, neat that they found the arcade interface hidden inside the game after all these years, hopefully more people get interested in picking up GX again thanks to these news.
