Add some wangan midnight version numbers #29

Closed derole1 closed 2 years ago

derole1 commented 2 years ago

100% sure about V363 being 3DX and not 3, also sure that V307 is wmmt1 (The boot xbe for wmmt1 is called V307.xbe). Im almost certain about wangan midnight JP but I still want some better confirmation. At address 0x185C20 in one of the boot elf executables on the magicgate dongle is the string for a device at mc0:V257DRV. V257 is the version code for ridge racer v (So I assume that they share the same str pcb for force feedback, and it would make sense since they both use the same 246 pcb, though I cant confirm). Further down at 0x189C98 is a version number which is V281. I believe this is the correct version number for WMN1.

Thanks a bunch for the research, this is nice stuff!

Yeah, as far as I can tell they do. STR1 is used by a bunch of games with the only difference as far as I know being the firmware it runs (and thus the sticker on it). I know of: V194 (Race-On!), V257 (Ridge Racer), V315 (WMMT2) and Mario Kart, but @GravitySandwichh definitely knows more about this.

Otherwise, this lines up timeline-wise, so it's fine to leave it in with a question mark as far as I'm concerned. Thanks!

(Correction: Mario Kart uses a V320 STR2).
