Years and years ago, back before I released my F-Zero X level editor and before the actual F-Zero X Expansion Kit could be emulated (go to if this is news to you), I released a little program that could patch Expansion Kit courses into an F-Zero X ROM file. So what am I going to do with these courses, keep them for myself? Of course not! This is, after all.

This makes ' part 2' as follows: does anyone know where I might find some save files for the game that may contain the other 3 missing e-Reader courses? I figure there must be some repository on the Japanese 'net, but Google unfortunately thinks the English phrase 'gba saves' means 'Pokémon ROMs'.Īgain, the full set of Carddas Version cards would be preferred, but the bare minimum required to complete the set of courses is save data for the courses on the following cards: Fortunately, I found someone who had one of them and he was able to get me his save data. Carddas Version cards, as mentioned before, are unavailable, meaning 4 courses are in danger of being lost to the ages. I was able to use those dumps to produce save files containing the 16 e-Reader courses thereon. The full set of Pillow Pack card data has been dumped and is available online. The thought of official courses that I'd never played was too much of a draw, so I did a big cannonball into the internet to see what I could dig up. It's a little piece of F-Zero that I never knew existed until recently, and I have all the games including a 64DD and F-Zero X Expansion Kit (brag, brag). Since I have little interest in staff ghosts, the main draw for me is those e-Reader exclusive courses. They just gotta be really high DPI because those dot codes are tiny. So I guess ' part 1' of this thread is, does anyone know anyone who can get photos/scans of the Carddas Version cards? I can get the data off of mere images of the cards, and the internet at large would be grateful. These are among the rarest e-Reader cards, and are elusive enough that they haven't been dumped and archived by hackers on the internet yet. While most of the Carddas set is duplicated in the Pillow Pack set, a handful of cards in each category are not. Pillow Pack cards were available at retail like most forms of e-Reader distribution, but the Carddas cards were exclusive to promotional vending kiosks.

Two series of e-Reader cards were produced for the game: Pillow Pack and Carddas Version (roughly they are Japanese, after all).

Certain e-Reader exclusive machine unlocks were converted to in-game unlocks instead, and staff ghost/e+ course features were dropped entirely. When the game was localized for international releases, the e-Reader functionality was removed. Content that could be scanned in included machine unlocks, courses and staff ghosts. The Japanese version of F-Zero GP Legend was compatible with the e-Reader. Okay, this is going to be a bit of an encyclopedia article, so bear with me.
