Human Grand Prix IV: Senna Edition
ヒューマングランプリIV F1ドリームバトル
A small data-only hack that puts Ayrton Senna back into Human Grand Prix IV as an editable driver, with a new portrait, and fixes the game's misspelled names.
What it changes
Human Grand Prix II and III let you pick and edit Ayrton Senna, but the fourth game dropped him. pest218's hack gives him back his place: the editable slot that held the fictional J. Amati now holds A. Senna, with Brazilian nationality, his real birth date, a McLaren team entry and a new portrait drawn to match the game's own driver art.
While at it, the hack:
- corrects the other editable drivers (J.C. Boullion's full name and birth date, T. Boutsen's spelling)
- fixes six misspelled place names such as Imola, Silverstone, Monte Carlo and Magny-Cours
- adjusts the disclaimer on the driver edit screen so it fits real drivers
Only game data is changed (about 2 KB): no code, physics, handling, tracks or team rosters are touched, so the races play exactly like the original.
Playing it
