Debug Displays

Codes next to O are for the Original version, and codes next to the R are for the Remix version.

One of the displays on PS2 has two pages - CPU, GPU usage, framerate and the like. They can be switched between each other by changing the xx in the codes below with either 01 or 02. The Xbox version only has a cut down variant of the 1st page present, and the same codes apply to both regions.

		EUR	USA
PS2	O	006E9BBC 000000xx	(v1.04) 006E993C 000000xx (v2.00) 006E9D3C 000000xx

Xbox	O	0051A56C 01
	R	005599FC 01

The other display shows a few performance graphs on the screen. This is only present in the PS2 version.

Cut Content

Cut Vehicles

In the audio banks database, one can see references for a BMW 328i (E46), BMW Z3, a Mini-Cooper, a Toyota Celica (likely the T230/T231 generation), and Honda CBR, a Yamaha RZF-R1, a Chrysler Sebring, a novagp which may refer to a Chevrolet Nova, a grandprix which may refer to a Pontiac GXP, a vega which may refer to a Chevrolet Vega, and a GT600, which would most likely refer to the Roush GT600.

It's unknown if these cars were ever intended to be added to the game, or their sounds were recorded and used as references/in the game itself. Some cars in the game do not have names listed here, meaning some cars likely use these samples. In Midnight Club 2, there exists a z3.td, cbr.td, bmw.td among others, which means that some of these files were likely renamed and carried over from the previous game.

To do: Where in the game's memory? Where are these strings loaded from? Elaborate.

A Mercedes-Benz Maybach as well as ATVs/dirt bikes are listed in the game's memory.

Unused Songs

Certain songs were listed in the game's files, but did not make it to the final release, likely due to licensing issues with either the artist(s) themselves, or time/game size constraints. These songs can be restored through the Soundtrack Restoration Mod, which also includes the PSP-exclusive songs. The mod is only compatible with the Remix version of the game.

Unused Paint Jobs

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Needs more research to verify if the last paint job is a real feature and not just corruption.

Certain paint jobs were cut from the game, but are possible to enable through memory editing.

In the game's ASSETS.DAT package folder in tune>vehicle>customdata>paintjobs, there is a file called paintjoblist.tx which contains the list of Paint Job types. There is a paintjob titled "Enamel" listed there that does not exist within the game customization options.

In addition, two paint job types can be found through memory editing. The Paint Job type uses a hex value from 01 to 04, while the Paint Job color uses a hex value located immediately after the type. If the paint job type is forced to 05, a new fully customizable type of Paint Job appears in game. This might be the same as the lost Enamel paintjob, but this is not confirmed. If the paint job type is forced to anything higher than 05, like 06 or 07, a different Paint Job appears containing only two colors. This paintjob appears as a bright cyan when using a value of FF in the color value section (Custom Color Hex Value), and as a bright green with any other color value. It is unknown if this is some sort of debugging feature, or simply corruption resulting from the value being forced outside its normal bounds.

Also, there is a blue metallic paint job that cannot be normally selected in the paint job screen, but can be chosen when buying a car whose default body color is a metallic color, instead of the Dark Blue metallic paint option.

Unused Download Option

In Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition on the PlayStation Portable, all icons in the garage glitched to an unknown Download icon that appeared when the game glitched out from switching too fast between options. A screenshot exists of this phenomenon. What was this feature for, I guess we'll never know.

Opponent-Only Parts

Many generic motorcycle riders are exclusive to NPC opponents. These riders typically feature a covered face via a helmet or mask as well as no cloth physics, unlike player riders.

An unused body kit, grille, and tinted taillights for the 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS (Gen VII) can be seen on NPC opponents. This body kit is based on a real '96 Impala SS featured by Dub Magazine, as seen on an Impala SS diecast model in the Dub City line by Jada Toys. Additionally, the exhaust can be changed whereas this is normally impossible.

An unused aftermarket hood for tuners featuring two carbon fiber slits can be seen in use by various NPC presets. This hood model exists for each tuner (excluding the Lotus Elise 111R and the B-Class tuners), and was also remodeled for the tuners featured in Remix.

Carbon fiber hoods are seen in use by many NPCs on vehicles where they normally aren't available, typically exotics.

Vanessa's 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-S (D53A) (the second one from her rematch as the final San Diego rival) has a pink chrome tint on it's spoiler.

Platform Differences

• Loading screen music is only played in the PlayStation 2 version. The Xbox's loading screen is the same as the PlayStation 2, however, no music plays while the game loads.
• The Xbox version supports 16:9 widescreen alongside 480p.
• The PSP has a simplified loading screen likely due to hardware limitations.
• The PSP version lacks damage models for every vehicle.
• The PSP version lacks Pearlescent and Color Shift paint jobs.
• The PSP version also changed certain car prices: However, selling the prize Cien and ME Four-Twelve will net 80% of the original PS2/Xbox Price, allowing them to profit off selling the prize car and buying it back the first time they do it. Any further sales will only net 20% of the PSP value instead.

Car Name	PS2/Xbox Price	PSP Price
1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG Strassenversion (C209)	$725,000	$1,400,000
2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept	$152,000	$100,000
2004 Cadillac Cien Concept	$135,000	$100,000
2004 Chrysler ME Four-Twelve Concept	$240,000	$140,000

The PSP version also has five exclusive songs, which were also restored for the PS2 Remix version through the Soundtrack Restoration Mod:

• Calyx - The Things You Mean To Me
• Dom & Roland - Paradrenasite (Combined By Hive)
• Dom & Roland - Dance All Night
• Omni Trio - Renegade Snares (Foul Play Remix)
• The Martian - Tobacco Ties

Revisional Differences

The base game had two releases in the USA - v1.04 and v2.00. The v2.00 release changes a few strings. The top row for each entry is from the initial release and the bottom row is from the re-release.

Bug fixes

A glitch occurs in which if the player bought a neon color that costs $250, the other neons that were not bought would become listed as purchased. This glitch was fixed in the REMIX edition of the game.

Save Data Differences

The save game data icon of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is red, while the REMIX version instead uses a light purplish-blue save data icon in the PS2 Browser.

Save game data for the original Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition can be imported for use with the REMIX edition, identified with DUB Edition instead of the city name when trying to load save games.

While the original version required the player to either have an unformatted memory card or no memory card inserted in slot 1 to play without autosaving, the player can disable auto-saving in the REMIX version.

While the player can just simply press triangle/B in the main menu to unload their save data and return to the profile selection screen in the original version, in the REMIX version, it was changed to a Quit Game menu option to unload their profile and return to the title screen. The Save Profile option has been moved to the Options screen.

Compatibility

The REMIX edition of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is compatible with the original, non-REMIX release as savegames from the original Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition release can be imported for use in the REMIX edition, which will create a copy of the Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition save game to be used for Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition REMIX.

Also, online races can be hosted by Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition REMIX players that allows Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (original release) players to race against REMIX players, however, REMIX-only content are not allowed in these online matches.

Prize Vehicle differences

In the original version, some prize vehicles are given a different name when won as prizes from their respective tournaments/car club series. The following cars have different names when won as prizes in the original version. If the said vehicle was won from the said career event in the REMIX version, they will use their original showroom name instead (except in imported save games which owned the prize vehicle).

Car Name	Original Prize Name	REMIX Prize Name
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air	BELAIR 57	57 BEL AIR
2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (BNR34)	SKYLINE GTR	02 SKYLINE
2004 Ducati 1000 SS	SS1000	04 SS1000
2004 Chrysler ME Four-Twelve Concept	ME 412	FOUR TWELVE
2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG (R230)	AMG SL55	SL55 AMG
2002 Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG (C215)	AMG CL55	CL55 AMG
2002 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG (W463)	AMG G55	G55 AMG
1968 Chevrolet Corvette (C3)	CORVETTE 68	68 CORVETTE

Loading Screen Differences

To do: Find a screenshot of the Career, Arcade, Go to Menus and Networking loading screens.

The left side arrows were replaced by a wave of squares in the REMIX edition. Some loading screens were also changed, such as tournaments now featuring the prize vehicle in the loading screen, the Unbeatable Street Racers' loading screen being changed from Cheng's Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII (CT9A) to a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-S (3G) and a Volkswagen Golf R32 (Mk.IV).

Original	Remix

UI Differences

The menu UI was changed from mostly blue and gold, to red and black wave of squares. Some notable changes include, the highlighter being changed from orange to white, the menu text being changed to from light blue to orange.

Title Screen

Original	Remix

Nav System

The spinning circle with a star was removed in the REMIX version's Nav System as part of the recolored UI. Also, the progression is now shown in the Nav System.

Original	Remix

Main Menu

NOTE: The main menu is shown assuming the player neither enabled online features nor own any vehicles, in which Go to Garage and Networking are not in the list. The menu is based on San Diego, with the Midnight time of day and Clear weather.

Original	Remix

Movie differences

To do: Find a screenshot of a tutorial and vehicle unlock reward video.

All tutorials' background was updated to reflect on the change to the REMIX UI colors. Also, the blue arrows were replaced by a red wave of squares in the video for unlocking vehicles. The videos for the Class C/B/A vehicles being unlocked was extended to accommodate for the REMIX vehicles that were added. Also, an alternate version where Tomoya, the Tokyo mechanic (voiced by James Yaegashi) speaks instead of Oscar, the San Diego mechanic can be seen if one plays a tutorial while in the Tokyo Challenge.

Original	Remix

City Differences

In the original version, changing cities through the movers garage will spawn the player near the new city's Movers area. In the Remix version, the player is instead spawned nearer to the city's garage.

Test driving an unowned vehicle will now start nearer to the garage, rather than a specific spot in the city.

Garage Changes

• Each vehicle's proper engine sound now plays in-game when the car leaves the garage, combined with the class-specific garage engine sound. However, the PS2 version glitches the sound if a different vehicle is highlighted/loaded.
• The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (C199)'s badge was changed from Mercedes-Benz to McLaren.
• In the Six-One-Nine Customs garage, the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BNR34) is now blue instead of red.
• Two Ducati motorcycles' prices were changed in the REMIX, shown below:

Bike Name	Original Price	REMIX Price
Ducati SS1000	$12,200	$10,995
Ducati 999R	$29,995	$31,495
