Play as Minion, Sweettooth or Darktooth:
Twisted Metal 2 saves your games in the Windows 95 system registry so
in order for you to edit your games you will need to go to the Start
button on your task bar, click it then go to Run and click that. Then
type in regedit. This will start the system registry editor.
The first thing you should do is to go to the Registry menu at the top
and export the registry file to a safe location, another hard drive or
floppy disk, just in case you mess something up. This is a good idea
to do on a regular basis in case your registry becomes corrupt which
does happen from time to time. If you need to restore your registry
you can start Windows in safe mode, run regedit and import the
registry file from wherever you saved it.
To edit the saved games click the + sign beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Then click the + sign beside SOFTWARE. Next scroll down to the +
beside SONY INTERACTIVE and click it. Then click the + beside Twisted
Metal 2. This should leave you with a folder that is labeled 1.0.1
( it may be different on your machine if you downloaded and applied
the patch from Sony ). Clicking on the folder opens up all the
information about TM2 in the right hand window. Down towards the
bottom you should see Slot1-Slot6 depending on how many games you have
saved, note you MUST have a game saved in order to edit it.
Choose the slot that you want to edit, the slots are in the same order
as they appear in the save game/load game screens when TM2 is running.
Click the slot to highlight it then go to the top of the editor and
click Edit, Modify. This should give you a window that looks like this.
screen shot 2 Scroll to the bottom of this window to get to the items
that you wish to edit. The things that I have figured out so far are
the level you are on, the car you are driving. To edit the car you are
click on the number and/or letter just to the right of the number that
says 0080.
To edit this value, hit the DELETE key and type in the new value.
Valid numbers are 00-0E, just so you know these values are in
hexadecimal 10 comes AFTER 0F, which comes after 0E, and is not
included in the valid range. The corresponding car values are:
00=Hammerhead
01=Outlaw
02=Warthog
03=Mr. Grimm
04=Grasshopper
05=Thumper
06=Spectre
07=Roadkill
08=Twister
09=Axel
0A=Mr. Slam
0B=Shadow
0C=Sweettooth
0D=Minion
0E=Darktooth
To save all of your changes just simply hit the OK button then exit out
of regedit.
For those of you who don't know Minion is the Boss from Twisted Metal
1 which was only available on the Sony PlayStation. Darktooth is the
Boss that you have to fight after you defeat all your opponents in the
Hong Kong level, you fight him also there. A hint on howto defeat him,
learn to fire the freeze blast.
Also it is not advisable to play as Darktooth as he is so large the
only way you can see where you are going is to switch to the
helicopter view which, at least on my machine, sometimes washes the
screen out with a grey color that doesn't go away. Minion is by far
the BADDEST car to drive as he can easily destroy any other car.
