A tool for changing the car types / physics of the playstation game Micro Machines V3 (copyright belongs to Codemasters):
-
If you want to change/edit the actual tracks you should checkout the MMEd tool
-
This gui tool leverages the webview library to build a minimal native GUI
-
The basic code structure for the gui follows the Compactor project closely
This tool has only been tested on the European (PAL) version of the game
When opening the application a file explorer prompt will open. Please select a valid Micro Machines V3 .bin file (not the .cue!)
- Please note that the tool will modify the disk file (so take a backup beforehand!)
To build the app please install rust (via rustup) and run cargo build --release from the root directory
This application will not work in administrator mode due to this issue!
There is a VS code config for debugging the rust code (using the MSVC debugger so you may need to install the C++ extension).
For the frontend you can run the Edge DevTools.
- Rich Bradley for documenting the MMv3 resources here
- Nick Tomlinson for mentioning the cheat engine tool which helped me locate the values in the binary
- Dege for providing the dgvoodoo2 Direct3D shim & patched MMV3 PC executable (which prompted me to re-investigate the assembly code in the first place)
- Softwire MMs crew for testing the changes
