Colin McRae Rally 2.1
A small improvement patch for the PlayStation version of Colin McRae Rally 2.0 that clears the windscreen in the cockpit camera and makes analog steering react without delay.
What it changes
Colin McRae Rally 2.1 is a tweak patch by Lupus Erectus for the PlayStation release of Codemasters' rally game. It does two things:
- the windscreen in the in-car (cockpit) view becomes fully see-through, so the stage ahead is no longer tinted or obscured;
- the car responds immediately to analog input, removing the lag the original game adds when you steer with an analog stick or wheel.
The stages, cars and handling model are otherwise left as they were.
A separate names patch
A different, later patch by Demory (2026) swaps the made-up driver names of the original game for the real drivers of the 1999 World Rally Championship season. It is a cosmetic text change only and has its own entry on romhacking.net.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the hack's romhacking.net page. Credit for the patch goes to Lupus Erectus.
