Hidden F-Zero AX found in F-Zero GX!

[CosmoCortney]

don't know if all of you guys heared about that, but the whole arcade game F-Zero AX was hidden in the GX disc.
a few ax related things have been found years ago (sfx, non used modes, etc.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ita3MWNjPvU


But in November 2012 the hacker Ralf managed it to access almost the entire AX game by code.

here's a little demonstration:

the text is messed up, because the language wasn't switched to english.


a few days ago more ax related stuff has been unlocked.

during the video you can see the game tries to obtain online data from http://f-zero.jp/.

i plugged in the bba and connected it to the network, but nothing happened..
during the next time we will see more about that, i guess.

10 years after release, wow. No splendid benchmark time, but pretty cool. :p
May someone tell me I´m late when I still hack some MKWii. ;D

seems like it has nothing to do with online features at all..
the missing text can be displayed and it just informs the user about this website and the internation ranking.

anyways, here's something new about that. i've found a simple 4byte word that switches the game into ax mode. it's not that complete like ralf's asm, but the ax menu and the 2 ax modes can be accessed with it ram write aswel. pretty equal to the first ax code release from ralf.
