Until I'll add support for more tracks and new features you can try out beta version down below, it support two track(All tracks are located in COURSE.DAT).

Use mouse left button to go forward right button to move backward and the middle button to exit/inter "Walk Mode".

GT Track Viewer Beta(it only available for member):

Good morning Leo  8)   So about the Tool:   It runs on my PC (win7)  But when I want to open a courseDAT File the Tool says that its an unsuported file. I tried a bunch of tracks to open but it gives me always the same message.

I guess then you will have to download PAL version since the tool support only that version,  if you want I could send you COURSE.DAT that I have alone with the updated tool which now support 14 tracks.

Check your PM Dominic, I hope you don't have problem extracting 7Z archives I use it for the better compression also in COURSE.DAT I've replace unsupported track with zeros to make it smaller it's also compressed with 7Z.  Anyway check it out ;)

You can download 7Z HERE if you don't have it already.

Great Leo! Thanks for the updated tool and the course.dat 8)    About the 7Zip yeah I use it for a couple of years now. It's the best Zip tool.


So I'm checking the tool by now. A Question:  About the FPS when I'm in walkmod on track: So is it recommended to have a good cpu to get 60 FPS right?   At the moment I'm not using my Notebook which has the power to go 60 FPS. With that netbbok here I'm using I just have 3 or 4 FPS while I'm in walkmod u know.  That Walkmod is really a cool feature to check out the whole track. And the flymode is pretty cool with the no collison. What I found out with the older Version of the tool is when its to long open without no use it's crashing.

Not to much CPU as GPU, I've (P4 2.8 GHZ, 1GB RAM,  TI 4200 128 GPU) it's an old PC which I almost exclusively use for programming purposes for game I use another PC, anyway on above PC it's run at 60 FPS with "Polygons Edges" disabled otherwise the FPS will  go to ~30, so yes you'll have to run the tool on equivalent system or better to have 60 FPS. The tool have that requirement because it shows all bocks of track all the time but GT on PSX shows only few of blocks at the time plus it lower down texture resolution in blocks that faraway to gain some more FPS without those things and some other stuff GT would never be able to run that smoothly on PSX.

Thanks for mention it I'll check it out. The newer version doesn't have that issue right?
