Cheats & Modifications

It might be a short game with its identity deeply rooted in the arcades, but that doesn't deprive it from having a ton of secrets, and some modifications along with it that will definitely help you out on making your experience that much better!

Modifications

Remove SafeDisc protection

Disc swaps are pretty much gone by today's standards. But Sega Rally 2 wasn't released when that was the case, and sadly the original crack done by CiFE is considered lost media (pretty wild considering that it is a scene crack!). So, in order to avoid having to deal with mounting the second CD, here is what you have to do.

Prerequisites:

Any hex editor

Steps to follow:

Open with the hex editor the file called SEGA RALLY 2.exe
Change the following bytes in the offset 000269C0:

Byte	Old value	New value
06	0F	90
07	8C	90
08	3C	90
09	FF	90
0A	FF	90
0B	FF	90

3. Change the following bytes in the offset 00026B60:

Byte	Old value	New value
08	E8	90
09	55	90
0A	11	90
0B	06	90
0C	00	90

Notes:

This patch only works for the original European and American releases of the game, so it will not work for the Spanish release (the Japanese one is not confirmed to include SafeDisc as DRM).
