F-Zero AX Uncovered on GameCube GX Version

I saw an F-Zero AX arcade machine once, but I didn't have quarters or was in a hurry or something, so I didn't get to play it. At any rate, I definitely didn't have the foresight of bringing a memory card with on the off chance I'd come across this arcade machine.

Looks like I need to buy an Action Replay disc now.

I vaguely remember trying it at my local Sega Dome/World back in the day. Would love to be able to give it another go!

Crazy that this was discovered two console generations / 9.5 years later.

You can do it with a hacked Wii too.

So i know you can do unlock these tracks by completing all the cups on Master mode, but other than the game playing like an arcade (like time limits etc) are there any other differences?

Did you find a ocarina cheat file somewhere Shane? (Ocarina uses a more straightforward format for cheat codes than Action replay and I don't know how to convert them from one to the other).

Sorry, all I heard is that a homebrewed Wii uses Action Replay, wasn't aware there were any changes. I'm sure someone will pop up with a list eventually.

Yaohan Plaza?

It looks amazing upscaled.

Does this system support ALL GC games or only certain ones you can play on the Wii? Cause I'd LOVE to have my Phantasy Star Online Ep. 1&2 Plus as well as Phantasy Star Online Episode 3 hacked so I can access all the online content as well as boost drop rates for items & quicken level grinding for my characters. PLEASE tell me Ocarina DOES have codes supporting these 2 games & they have them for North American copies!!

After checking, it seems codes in Ocarina format for the AX mode don't exist yet *sigh*...

However, codes to activate stereoscopic 3D exist in this game, and are compatible with modern 3D displays . This is insane to think Nintendo was already on top of this stuff back in 2003.

However if there's a way to convert existing Action Replay codes to the format Ocarina uses, you would perhaps create your own gct file yourself. This is deep stuff so I suggest you look into it yourself.

My mind was blown by this, so I started researching it on the internet. It's my understanding that this is actually a clever hack, not a hidden feature Nintendo built in. If I understand it correctly, someone basically figured out how to mess with the camera coordinates and has it bouncing left and right a little bit, but really fast. So it simulates a 3D camera. Clever.

Nintendo had been experimenting with 3D on the Gamecube with other games as well, such as Luigi's Mansion.
