GP2 car setup file format?

by Samuli Taka » Thu, 08 Aug 1996 04:00:00

Hi everyone,

I'm writing an utility that turns a SHOWSET output back to a car setup file.
The only problem I have is that I haven't been able to determine what the
last two bytes in the setup file mean. I figured out that the second last
word is a checksum (a sum of all bytes in the file before it). The last
two bytes seem to be some sort of checksum also. If anyone knows how it
is calculated, please let me know.

Thanks,
Samppa

Well, here I am replying to my own post :) I managed to decode most of
the setup file. Now I'm able to create them. I placed the file format on
my GP2 web page for everyone interested. The url is
