You'll definately need a memory card, just buy the Sony 8meg card.

A wheel is a must have for this game, I didn't like the steering at all with the standard ps2 controller...and while you're at it buy Gran Turismo4

 

Any basic two port power plug from Radio Shack will work. Enjoy the game. I have it as well as Formula One 2001 on a 106" projection screen. My girlfriend gets car sick when I play formula one because it gives her motion sickness!!!

 

There should be a manual online somewhere. Do a google. Yes, i highly reconmend extra memory cards. I only have 1 right now and i need another one. I'm deleting stuff off it all the time to free up space. As soon as i get the new gran turismo i'll need a new one anyway.

Game sharks are annoying to use and made for people who are to lazy to beat the game on their own


Enjoy the game, its really fun

 

Yes, you need a memory card for that stuff. No memory card = No progress saved, meaning, you'll have to start the game from scratch every time.

 

Well, yes but the point is that without a memory card, you can't save progress. Like, on Gran Tourismo, you can get money by winning races and buy cars with that money. Without a memory card, these cars and money and race wins will be lost. Yes, It is the equivalent to the disk drive on the xbox.

 

Get the newer Driving Force wheel- it's much better than the older model, which would itself be a massive improvement over the hand held controllers.

Also, if you have a TV with a component video input, get the component video outputs cables for your PS2. It makes a world of difference.

And remember that F355 challenge is a very old game, so don't expect state of the art graphics, sound, or gameplay- the physics models are '90s-ish. Sony's Gran Turismo series (3&4) is far superior, but unfortunately Ferrari is a little pigheaded about their licensing so there are no Ferraris in that series. However, the other 700 cars in GT4 are pretty amusing.

BTW the PS1/PS2 power cables are the same so if you can find one cheaper go for it.

 

I wouldnt buy a game shark. Cheating is for bums. If I can beat Grand Theft Auto San Andreas with out cheats, you guys can beat any game with out cheats.

As for memory cards. depends how hard core gamer you have inside you. If your only an ocasional gamer, one memory card should do you good. If you plan to have a stack of games like me. Get two cards, if you dont want to delete other data.

 

speaking of videogames:
does anyone know where is the Enzo hidden in OutRun 2
I mean waht level do I have to complete in order to unlock the Enzo?

so far I've completed 70 Missions and havent' found the Enzo yet.

 

I bought a PS2 a couple weeks ago specifically for Gran Turismo 4. Also bought the Logitec Drive Force Pro.

Of course, I needed my Ferrari Fix and since there are no Ferraris in GT4, I picked up a copy of F355 Challenge.

Using the DFP, The brake pedal works ass-backward!!!!!!

Depress the brake pedal, and you can drive. Release, and the game thinks you're giving full-brake input.

I tried to calibrate, but when it comes time to calbirate the brake pedal, the "status" bar is already completely red indicating brake pedal input.

Any ideas?

BTW, the opening sequence w/ the 355 Challenge car tearing out of the gates at Maranello brought a tear to my eye.

 

Well, at least there's hope! Yes, I have the 900 degree Logitec DFP wheel, and like you said, it boots up with just the left LED.

Maybe it's user error...
