There’s a preview of Test Drive 5 on one of the Official PlayStation Magazine demo discs that allows you to race on a single track with one of two cars.

Although they’re not normally playable, the CD has files for two more tracks and 17 more cars. I’ve made a patch that lifts the demo restrictions, enabling access to the extra cars and tracks.

The demo predates the retail version of the game by two months, so there are several interesting unfinished elements. There's a also hidden menu with debug functions (it’s labeled Oh Arse) that isn't present in the final game.

CART: Flag to Flag is a Dreamcast racing game with a hidden debug menu. Alas, it's inaccessible – there's no cheat code you can enter to activate it.

Never fear, I've made a patch that makes the game boot straight into it. Among the debug features are a 3D model viewer, a track editor, and a free camera mode.

Get the patch from SegaXtreme and check out the writeup on Substack.

Sega Saturn SHIRO!, the Saturn enthusiast site, picked Virtual Casino for one of their Community Challenges a last month. One prize was reserved for people who successfully reached the game's credits.

The SHIRO! community’s integrity level is pretty high; nobody asked me for a shortcut. But there is one! I found an unreported cheat code for this game that takes you straight to the staff roll.

Details on how you can claim the speed run record for this game are available on Substack.
