Modding TDU PSP

[PKGTR]

Quick question.

 

Is it is possible to transfer and convert cars from Gran Turismo PSP to Test Drive Unlimited PSP? The car list is pretty dry for the PSP version and I would love to replace a few models in TDU with some from Gran Turismo.

I'm 99.9 % sure the answer is no.

Any reason why? I'm not familiar with the modding scene so I'm sure this looks like a " HERPDERP " question to seasoned modders.

To mod TDU you need to access the .bnk files of the game. These are available on PC, but not on the PSP version (at least, without being able to hack the PSP with developer-level tools). Also, GTPSP uses a completely different file structure for cars, including the interior, relation to driving dynamics (paths for tire movement, exhaust trails, brake glow, etc.), opening/damageable parts. It would be the equivalent of dragging a file from NFS to the TDU folder on PC - reasonable in theory, but you might as well be trying to drive a character model from Call of Duty.

 

Hypothetically, if someone was a developer from both Sony/Polyphony and Atari/Eden and had access to the raw model files (not the .bnk's and the GTPSP equivalent, but the actual model files), the PSP would probably refuse to run it without modifications to the game's executable file (or whatever it is on PSP).

 

So the answer, unfortunately, is a solid "no." Sorry about that. :( Still, when the PSP2 comes out, you'll probably be able to play TDU2 (or TDU3) on it. :)

you can create a program to modify the game like the dbz psp that modify the game characters
