Wipeout Pure - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Wipeout Pure - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

        3. In that folder, there is a file named ICONO.PNG.  That is your 
file image.  Just open that file in any photoshop software (even MSPaint 
works, if you dare) and edit the photo.  Don't make it any larger than the 
images 144x80 size.  Now save the new ICONO.PNG file over the old one and 
start up Wipeout Pure!

        4. This same process works with other game saves and loading images 
as well.  Be sure to keep backups of the original images, just in-case you 
screw something up!

     b. Battery Life - Be sure to leave your WiFi switch OFF when not using 
multiplayer or connecting to the internet.  That will severely shorten your 
battery life (although I haven't tested it over long periods)  Normal usage 
battery life should be about 4-5 hours, depending on how often you make the 
PSP access the UMD disc.  (restarting courses, for example.)
     
     c. Downloadable Content - Downloadable content is here!  Many people have 
had extreme difficulty using the Wipeout Pure download site  If you happen to logon either via the Download
section in Wipeout Pure or via the internet and have difficulty, e-mail me 
at the following address and I'll e-mail the 3.5mb file over with 
instructions on how to install it.  salesmunn@gmail.com

Gamma Pack info is shown below.  Expect a music mixer to be available online
in the future and there are rumors that some sort of level editor might come
to pass, although I don't know if that will ever surface.

If your website is hosting the file for download and want to be mentioned in
this FAQ, e-mail me and I'll check it out.  I know there are a few out there
but they all had excessive adult-themed advertising that I refuse to point 
you towards.

Gamma Pack 1 (UCUS98612DGAMMAPACK1)- This includes the Tigron Team, Staten 
Park course and the Pirahna GUI Skin (yay Red!).  Staten Park is the only 
course found in the Gamma Tournament, which will have 4 total races once the 
4 Gamma Packs are released.

Gamma Pack 2 - (Unreleased in the USA)
Gamma Pack 3 - (Unreleased in the USA)
Gamma Pack 4 - (Unreleased in the USA)

     d. Wipeout Web Browser - Downloadable content will be accessed using 
a web browser that is built into the game.  I'm not going into how to setup
your PSP to browse the web through the internet in this FAQ.  I will, 
however, give you a web address to visit if you want to do it.  This is the 
portal that I've used, on the Absurd Genius website.

     e. Known Bugs - Here are a list of bugs I've encountered in Wipeout 
Pure.  If anyone out there has found more bugs or exploits, let me know.
        
        1. Sleep Mode crash - Try not to put your PSP into sleep mode 
(flicking the power switch on the right) while in the middle of a race.  The 
PSP will lose your Memory stick and force you to manual save from then on, or 
at least until you load up your profile.  It might even crash on you if you 
sleep more than 2 or 3 times in a single race.
 
        2. Distorted Audio - In over 30 hours of gameplay, twice I've had the
audio become distorted with a light static during the race.  The music also 
plays at a faster speed as well.  If this occurs, exiting the race and 
reloading from the main menu will normally resolve it.  Sometimes it will 
resolve the issue after that individual course is complete.

      I'd like to thank Infinity and his gaming & tech forum 
for the editing of my first FAQ and hosting this FAQ in E-Book format.  

Thanks to my girlfriend, who I ignored for two full evenings to write this damn
thing in the first place and will probably be neglected with every Gamma Pack
released in the future.

     Thanks to Sony for making the PSP and releasing Wipeout Pure on the system.
  
     Big props to eLhabib for this link to His and Def's ghost sharing website.
You can download and upload your best times!  I'm definitely going to upload
some of my times.

 --QUICK NOTE:  If your going to try for the best lap times, remember that the
best times are for individual LAPS, not an entire race.  This means that you
should save your Turbo for just before the finish line at the end of your first
lap, this will give you a necessary boost from the start of the second lap and 
you can use your next Turbo at the location of your choice.
