However, not only did I not see a legitimate way to enter here, but. This immediately caught my attention, especially since the exit had a rather dramatic exit cutscene. I figured with coordinates and the ability to teleport, and many missing gaps, it was only a matter of time before I found it.Īround one-third of the way through documenting the level's gaps, I teleported to one, and was met with this: Addtionally, the completionist wanted me to know that there was likely an undocumented secret area containing all the missing gaps. Since I didn't have a debug coordinate display to activate, I found a way to change the player's coordinates - with that and official coordinate lists for gaps, I set out to create a YouTube playlist of every gap in the game, like that THUG1 gaps playlist people find useful.Īfter completing videos for the first and second level, I was informed that the third level would be my biggest challenge, as there were a lot of gaps that seemed impossible as they appeared to be nowhere in the level. While I couldn't find anything, she succeeded in creating a rough unpacker for the data archive, and I could view most things inside as lots of the different filetypes were easily-readable plaintext, including an email chain in a text file that somehow made it in.?Īnyways, I not only found a list of each level's gaps, but also coordinates for their start and end positions, as well as whether they were bi-directional, and whether they were a jump, grind, wallride, ramp transfer, etc.

Meanwhile I passed the game's proprietary data archive off to my programmer friend, the one that made tools for the Star Wars: Starfighter games, making the 'Jar Jar in a barrel' and 'beach droids' discoveries possible. I couldn't find much, only a list of gaps loaded into memory in each level, but it was just their names. He asked if I could look into Rolling, specifically for finding gaps and figuring out how its unique stat progression system worked.

He does let's plays of extreme sports games, but completes everything you can possibly complete in each game - he doesn't stop when the game says '100% complete' if there's things left to do. I was later contacted by one of them, who is a completionist. I didn't end up finding anything in the game back then, however after finding two undocumented cheat codes in another game they were about to start a let's play of, I got a shoutout in that video, and more of that friend circle started to take notice. Additionally, over half of the music featured in the game are from artists that are so obscure they now only exist in this game, as no information about them exists online either. The amount of people that have played the game is probably in the hundreds, however you could count the amount of people who have played it for more than 30 minutes on two hands, and the lack of internet coverage reflects this. The game, despite being really good, didn't do that well.

It's a really solid game that holds up even today, and has amazing attention to detail while trying to be more realistic than something like SSX, but has a lot of similarities to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. The best way to describe the game is that it does everything you'd expect it to do, but not much more. Rolling is a rollerskating game developed to around 90% completion by a small studio called Rage Software, and after it got shut down, got picked back up, finished, and released exclusively in Europe by SCi for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. A while ago, I started looking for debugging functionality in other games they've played, and I came across a game called Rolling. This is how I originally learned of Jonny Moseley Mad Trix. Around a year ago, I made friends with a small circle of friends who were all content creators that did playthroughs of extreme sports games, from PS1 to modern platforms.

The big PS2 models with the extension bay can have full-fledged HDD loading regardless of other options.Before I explain what I found, I need to give a little backstory. Most PS2 games are DVD based and compatibility with ESR patching isn't bad, so starting from DVD±R with FreeMCBoot is an option without MechaPwn.

Don't quote me on that, but I believe there is a possibility to patch games into master discs and bypass the logo check.

Region locking was anti-consumer from the beginning in all instances.Īs for PS2 games: There is this function force unlock. Only real roadblock is that imported originals are not going to work. Bypassing a write protection and basically turning off most of the security features came unexpectedly.Īnd… adding CD-R loading for PS1 games without a modchip is useless? I guess one can patch the game region before burning to CD-R (there was a similar problem on all but the very first Japanese PS1 consoles which incorporate additional check after authenticating the CD which isn't bypassed by modchips). In my opinion MechePwn is an impressive exploit.
