For those of you who need a USB drive: Office Depot has a 256mb Cruzer drive for $15.

Also, I finished my first lap around the 'Ring. 8'53 in a Z4. Go me!

Btw, what's the best truck to get? I'm guessing the X-runner, but I'd like to make sure. (weight-to-power?)

Not sure what you are talking about? Platform as in engine wise? I am really tired after writing that damn page on my site!

Thats my guess? Unless you get the Ram. I might get the X - Runner or the Lightening......maybe the Xrunner!

My very first photmode shot!

TT · 02-25-2005, 10:38 PM

Dang, am I the only one that find the photmode totally useless and boring now that I have the game? The basic idea was cute, but hell, I'd rather go out and take real pics or, if I need to be stuck in front of my TV, at least I will race or whatever, but after the first 2 pics I already "dumped" the photomode and I doubt I will use it that much :bah: wasted time for the programmers as already pointed out...

Anyway, 3:30 am, got the A license with all silvers and 5 golds, now working on the IB, first 6 tests done (silver obviously) and I can have some sleep

LOL, yeah I did notice, but I'm a sucker for the cheesy BGM in a lot of the menu/gt auto/car showroom screens!

ops:

Quite a number of TVRs and Lotuses popping up in the used cars now and again. Only thing I've bought so far is a used Civic so I could put a wing and nitrous on it (j/k about the wing and nitrous, but I like my type R's hehe)

Most of you guys are well ahead of me in the game but someone keeps hassling me to put fucking shelves up, walk dogs, clean shit and generally distract from my GT4 time!!! Women!!!!!!!

Pimp Racer, you got a list of which USB thumb drives work with GT4?

coloradosilver · 02-25-2005, 11:31 PM

Does anyone else have a problem with the screen "shaking" a little here and there. Like the graphics are uneven or the PS2 is having issues with the disc? I really hope it's not just me. What causes this?

it might be useless to you but for the average person who doesnt take alot of pictures such as me find it very interesting.

Yup its a glitch passed down from the Japanesse version of the game. Dont worry about it though. It appears for like 2 or 3 seconds in the beginnning of the game and then it goes away!

My sister has this one and it works perfectly fine!

My sisters USB/MP3 player thingy is blue.

BTW I heard if you format the USB thingy it will work but I would just buy one of the ones that work. BTW I heard office Depot have a 256 MB USB thing that works with GT4 for ONLY 15 USD! Thats right 15 bucks!

Any of you guys using that Xlink Kai to race each other online? A couple guys at another forum I visit have been using it, they have had good and bad things to say about it.

For USB storgae this is what I use - for all needs. It is the best of all world.

Cheap, simple, compatible and infinately upgradable - since it reads SD Memory cards.
