(GT2) Evolution of a GameShark Code, Part I

I wanted to create a GameShark Code for GT2 which would cause you to win as prize cars hybrids constructed from your garage. These codes will only possibly work for GameShark Version 3.00 or higher.

Here is the first step, a code to cause you to win as a prize-car a new copy of the first car in your garage. The first version is for the original 1.0 North American version of GT2:

I have worked extensively with later derived versions of the 1.0 code. I have not actually test any of the other versions, yet. I would expect them to work, and would not be greatly afraid to try them--I just have not got around to it.

For North American Version 1.1:

For North American Version 1.2:

For PAL version (should work, based on the known offset):

For Japanese version (I've seen this offset, but it would be nice if someone could test it--be warned):

So, after developing this code principle, I later went on to arrange to copy different pieces of different garage slots into the prize car location, so that the car to be won would be a hybrid.
