GP2 car setup file format?

2 posts by 1 person · 07 Aug 1996 - 08 Aug 1996

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 -- See my homepage for Formula One Shadow Series: http://www.hut.fi/~tax/ "Kuorma-auto - Hy?dyksesi tiell?"

I placed the file format on my GP2 web page for everyone interested.
