Covers a localization bug in the Dreamcast original where rival car unlocks were implemented incorrectly, and a detailed analysis of aspect ratio inconsistencies in TXR2's widescreen mode. The author reverse-engineers the likely pixel aspect ratio correction code and concludes that the in-game widescreen option is broken — recommending VGA output with a widescreen cheat when emulating. Also mentions PCSX2 patches published for Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
