Super Off Road Ultimate
pest218's hack puts a configuration screen in front of Super Off Road: optional cheats, a direct track and direction pick, and races from 1 to 99 laps, with the original game left alone unless you switch something on.
What's new
A menu now appears before the title screen. Everything on it is off by default, so the game plays as it always did until you change a setting.
- Cheats for player 1, player 2 or both: money and nitro that never run out, maxed truck stats, and a mode that keeps the race on its last lap.
- Choose any of the 16 tracks straight away, forward or reversed where the track has a reverse layout, instead of waiting for the normal race cycle.
- Set the race length anywhere from 1 to 99 laps (the original is fixed at 4).
A few things change in every race so the new options display correctly: the lap counter gains a second digit, the race clock keeps counting past 99.9 seconds instead of freezing, and the flagman waves on the real final lap. The grey truck is also renamed after Ivan Stewart, whose name the arcade original carried, with the other real drivers given the computer-controlled slots. Race logic and placings are untouched. A FastROM variant is offered alongside the standard patch.
Playing it
The patch goes on your own copy of the US release of Super Off Road. pest218's project page explains every option in detail, with technical notes and history.
