Custom music for Whiplash is now possible
MIDI tracks must have no more than 8 melody channels and one drum channel
https://files.catbox.moe/kdncn5.zip

>download .mid from wherever
>use Timidity to check # of channels and note the tempo
>if necessary, remove/concatenate extra channels with FL Studio or freeware like MidiEditor
>convert to HMP in Dosbox with "midi2hmp [filename].mid /t###" where ### is the tempo information shown in timidity
>check listen with foobar, if tempo is off, use MidiEditor to correct tempo then reconvert
>mangle with Whiptools

rename the .HMP to whatever song you want to replace.

ok i just tested these with the original game and they cause a div0 error similar to doing The Crab backwards, so i presume there are some additional memory limitations. but they work fine in Roller.

the original game is meant to run on a computer with barely 8 mb of ram so i'm not surprised
in Roller the div0 error no longer occurs because the game no longer runs out of memory while trying to crunch "big" numbers like player position when you get yeeted out of the track or triple-digit-kb midis

The only car that I think has a less characterful engine in LMU is the M4 but that at least has something of a pass for being the only I6.

It's a good game.
I only now realised that you can do retarded engine swaps with the inventory system.
BMW straight 6 swapped Challengers and rotary swapped vans are so useless, but fun to fuck around with.

I constantly replay 1 and 2 because 3 took forever and skill issues prevent me from playing 4.

1nsane
Whiplash
F-Zero X, GX
NFS Hot Pursuit, High Stakes, Hot Pursuit 2 or Porsche Unleashed specifically, but honestly the entire series is excellent
San Francisco Rush, Rush 2, Rush 2049
Monster Truck Madness 2
Any Tokyo Extreme Racer series game

all qualify in my opinion as shining examples of racing games, in that the perfect racing game to me is

a. complete in all features expected and requires no modification for maximum enjoyment
b. leverages atmospheric storytelling over literal
c. based on completely plausible physics-driven gameplay with little or no player assist

Take it easy with that statement, Anon. There are few racing series more hit-or-miss than NFS.

Misses

ok but when it comes right down to it, those games came out and the "good" stuff you apparently wanted just didn't exist ever. you have to hand it to them, they made racing games when other companies didn't and they are still good fun games even if they're janky and stupid sometimes. if you have no experience at all in the genre it's not a terrible place to start.

there were years where we got no racing games at all or it was just forza and the crew which similarly nobody wanted to play for being too soulless and corporate.
nfs 2015 sucked and they spent the next 8 years trying to fix it with new games on the same engine with the same content, only for the story to be DEI bombed repeatedly by retarded corpo-rats. go actually play unbound, it's fucking amazing. but even i can't stand listening to the characters yap, which is why i specifically said the selection of games i did

>>NFS3, High Stakes, PU
>misses

who the fuck recommends f zero as a racing game?

>>28598670
Reread my post. I said NFS3, High Stakes, and PU are all good. Really, all the EA Canada games are good but 1 and 2 are really, really dated and it's hard to recommend anybody go through the effort to try and run them.
>Go play unbound
I'd rather drink bleach than listen to the music, the characters, or look at the visual vomit. At least Heat had an attractive presentation and while there was character drama they weren't obnoxious. The music was questionable, though. Too much Spainish.

>and atmospheric storytelling? its a fucking racing game
yes you fucking two dimensional line i'm not here to hotlap for my own health. i want a reason to win the gremlin cup for zizin every year.
racing games that don't bore you with characters yapping or text but still manage to convey that they are part of a world with shit going on inside it are way cooler than games that don't try, like for example forza motorsport.
gran turismo simply having a main menu that is a map, or ridge racer being presented as an actual racing event taking place in a city that evolves over the course of several games are good examples of this.


>carx street meets all of those points btw

Yeah nigga, you can put in any engine to any car that is in your inventory.
When doing a swap, just press the "show components from inventory" and you can drop in whatever engine you may have in your inventory.
Civic swapped Corvettes are real, but too slow to hurt you

Annoyingly i don't think it's just to do with mangled or unmangled filesize
I updated the mangler to be slightly less dumb than repeating the original bytes (totally not vibe coded) which gives filesizes approaching but not surpassing the gremlin devs' original 1000 IQ algorithm and it still gives errors even though I've verified the hashes of all unmangled->mangled->unmangled files. There's probably some other limitation I've missed like a maximum number of repeated bytes or something but idk
