Anyone tried any cheats?

[ShaMana]

Those pesky timed missions are very anoying. Anyone tried to run any cheats?

[Death Wish]

The cheats should still work.

In game. LAPMYLOVEPUMP should unlock the top row. Although, I think it's more for the developers when they were testing it.

Can confirm LAPMYLOVEPUMP works
The second lot of cheats here: http://www.cheatcc.com/pc/carmag2.html work perfectly :) using them because my game strangely doesn't save progress

[Uneasy Rider]

Cheats dont work for me. When i type the code nothing happens..

[ShaMana]

they work properly. Enter the first phrase correnctly and everything works just fine

[Turbobuddah]

They stopped working for me at one point, took me ages to work out capslock needs to be off

[ayden.ayden1]

I tried with out caps lock off, its not working. I typed it slowly, and it's still not working

My problem initially was my local kb. Didn't noticed it switching. After fixing that, everything worked fine. Check your kb settings and input device.

NOTE: Haven't played it in a few years. Can't say if everything is still okay

They still work, whenever game doesn't crash activating them. You Need to type them quite fast, if done correctly a message pops up, or you Will find the powerup in your inventory

I got tired of the timed missions and made a small mod to the races.txt file in data.twt to put the timer to 20 minutes for each mission and enabled gaining time when running over pedestrians.
This makes the missions less annoying by having virtually no time limit.

link if you are interested.

edit : noticed that I missed the Bruise Brothers race, also enabled the time bonusses there.

SMARTBASTARD no longer works.

[Rniessius]

After testing, most cheat codes don't work.

That's weird... I typed in LAPMYLOVEPUMP and the cheats seem to work. As for SMARTBASTARD, I'm pretty sure you MUST change the Recovery key to something else as it causes the game to freeze for a very short bit, otherwise it crashes because the game is old.

codes work //BUT// you gota maintain a certain typing timing for them to register, also most of the time @ before last key of any code entered ( key ) the game will either crash and/or open minimap or the the menu...wierd but thats how it ALWAYS played for me wether it was back in '98/'99 or now in 2024..i guess its just how the devs built the game...
