Test Drive Unlimited turns 20 today!! 🎉 (jfc where did the time go 💀)
To celebrate, I've got some pics from a little something I've been working on (On the wrong version of the game I know I know)
As fun as it would've been to release these cars as a mod today, we're a long way off from calling them "playable" sadly. Still, huge thanks to @__silent_ for his Melbourne House Pack file unpacker and the @turboduck community for all their research into the TDU database
@aetherouteNAE1 The models are still fairly low poly, when I say "beta" I mean the PS2 beta not the 360 one lol. These are still PS2 models so we're not pushing its limits, maybe it can handle higher quality models I'm not sure
@__silent_@Baron4LimaGolf@turboduck Models are a different format, but the textures and the database are interchangeable. (At least between PC and PS2, 360 is big endian so it's not as simple)
@Baron4LimaGolf@__silent_@turboduck Actual data is 1:1 between all versions. But transferring data is a pain because the game checks file size in 3 places and I've only found 2 (Twice in the file header, once ??? somewhere else) I'll keep looking though, it would be cool to have all the missing content on PS2
@Kangiru_Noah lol I wish, Melbourne House's physics on PC is what dreams are made of hahaha. I've seen someone is working on a decomp of the PSP version but I'm not involved with that
@Barteek1996 @__silent_ Yeah, PAL version upscaled to 1080p and PCSX2's built in adaptive deinterlacing. But even on real hardware, with component cables it looks amazing.
I'm not saying GTA6 looks BAD, but it looks like an entire game made for the type of dude who thinks shooting watermelons and watching them explode is the single coolest thing you can do in a game, and I am just not even remotely there.
The 2026 update to SilentPatch for Grand Theft Auto is out now!
This is the biggest content update yet: over 100 new fixes across the trilogy, improved stability and mod compatibility. If you were considering a fresh playthrough, now is the best time!
