F-ZERO X: F-Zero ZX Overdrive

-PATCHING

Download F-zero (USA).z64 and CajeASM from romhacking.net to patch the rom
with F-zero ZX Overdrive.s

You can use any F-Zero romhack to apply the mods but the insane difficulty
would be kind of unplayable because this is for the vanilla maps seeing as most of the time CPU falls down off the maps

If you are curious, you can check the code in the file with visual studio code

-EMULATION AND CONSOLE COMPATIBILITY

Use any emulator with jabo 1.7+, GLideN64 4+ graphic plugins, some others
have issues with new machines

It might crash on console due to LOD


-INTRODUCTION

This hack is focused in 2000km/h+ races, custom stats, new stats
and new machines

-NEW DIFFICULTY

The new difficulty insane is the best challenge for veteran players
You will need only S stats machines and even with max stats
is going to be hard to reach the 1st place, CPU has sss+ stats
with improved AI that means they can hit anyone unlike before
that they focused only on 2-3 rivals, they make a lot of damage have
a lot of energy ,and they can reach 2500 to 3000km/h easily without
falling from the map

Also CPU can fly like speed runners in almost every map

You can select this difficulty from the beginning but you can't do much
till you get about 10 points minimum

Scroll down from the difficulty menu till the Insane text become bigger
and you will be able to play it

There is not cups to win for this, is just for enjoying the new stats
and extreme speed

Novice would be a tough tutorial but once you get points, it become easier

-STATS SELECTOR

the stats selector will help to get stats upgrades, machines and boosters
You can unlock points by getting cups (20 points max)

-NEW STATS

speed and energy are stats now being rank E the worst and SSS the best

(SPEED base)
-speed rank E go from 700km to 750km
-speed rank D go from 750km to 800km
-speed rank C go from 800km to 850km
-speed rank B go from 850km to 900km
-speed rank A go from 900km to 1000km
-speed rank S go from 1000km to 1100km
-speed rank SS go from 1100km to 1200km
-speed rank SSS go from 1200km to 1300km


(SPEED scaling with BOOST)
-speed/boost rank E go from 700km to 800km
-speed/boost rank D go from 800km to 900km
-speed/boost rank C go from 900km to 1000km
-speed/boost rank B go from 1000km to 1200km
-speed/boost rank A go from 1200km to 1400km
-speed/boost rank S go from 1400km to 1600km
-speed/boost rank SS go from 1600km to 1800km
-speed/boost rank SSS go from 1800km to 2000km

energy rank E make the machine explode faster if you get hit, crash or
use the boost power about 5 times, and rank SSS make the machine
use the boost power about 20 times and very bulky this last one
only in default difficulties

-WIDESCREEN AND LOD MOD

are rendered from the beginning , so you will see all stuff
from the distance
