Talk:Gran Turismo 2

Anyone know what program can open the game's VOL files? I have tried DragonUnPACKer 5, as it listed VOL files as compatible, but it didn't work. Thanks in advance! --Pacifist 14:49, 10 March 2013 (EDT)
 * It's called GT2Vol.exe, you can get it from here. There's some info on my userpage on what it unpacks, etc. Thefanman 22:41, 10 March 2013 (EDT)

Removed my previous comment because just about everything save for Eigen Path and Palm Strip have been fully covered. Eigen Path is rumored to be the unused track seen in this video, and a low poly model of an apparent dragstrip can apparently be found in Laguna Seca's data. Specifically, you break out of the track's boundries (via Escudo or whatever car you can do it with), and then head towards the dotted part of the 'i' in "Continue" when you pause the game. Somewhere around there, a completely new section of track is loaded that, if I recall, may be the low detail model. -- Fuzn 12:53, 11 March 2013 (EDT)
 * I'm fairly sure Eiger Path (yes, Eiger) is just an early name for Grindelwald. Not only is the real-life Grindelwald located near the mountain of Eiger (yup, the same Eiger from GT5), a track list in one magazine preview includes Eiger Path with Grindelwald nowhere to be found. Though the list seems to be rather early as it lacks Apricot Hill and contains the North American Roadway, which is presumably an oval track that can be found unused in one of the demos.
 * I also took a closer look at the intro and the text definitely says "Eiger Path". Wonder where "Eigen Loop" came from. --Hukka 16:57, 13 March 2013 (EDT)
 * The piece of geometry in the middle of Laguna Seca's continue looks like a reverse view of its first corner. I fudged the X-Y coords on one of the Tahiti tracks and there were random bits of its track scattered about out of bounds there too, so it seems to be a standard thing. dart_test2 (Fuzn's video above) and l_20 (has no geometry whatsoever, just collision data) are probably the only completely unused tracks in the game. I'll insert Xenn's youtube vids of them next time if nobody else has. Thefanman 18:42, 14 March 2013 (EDT)
 * There's about two unused reverse tracks (Might be three, but I have a feeling it could be used), aswell as some unused License Test tracks. Oddly enough, the Japanese version has the least unused License Test tracks, while the US/EU versions have more of them. Would it be worth adding those to the article?--Xenn 13:02, 18 March 2013 (EDT)
