The is a mod for Ridge Racer 3D that replaces the audio with the other music.

Installation

Three versions are available, each contains difference soundtracks.

No Backseat Driving is optional, you can use it by merging the romfs folder with the other two.

The recommended method is to use ModMoon, as it allows you to switch between patched and unpatched and is already formatted for it.

ModMoon

Hold Select while booting your 3DS and enable game patching in the Luma configuration menu.
On your SD card, put the 000400000003XX00 folder into /3ds/ModMoon/.
Rename the XX in the folder name to match the TitleID of your game:
- USA - 0004000000035800
- EUR - 0004000000033B00
- JPN - 0004000000032800
Inside that folder, change the X in Slot_X to any number (i.e. Slot_1, Slot_2).
Insert your SD card, restart the system, and select the mod in ModMoon.
If you're having troubles with ModMoon look here or just follow the instructions below.

Luma's LayeredFS

Hold Select while booting your 3DS and enable game patching in the Luma configuration menu.
On your SD card, change the location of the RomFS folder from /000400000003XX00/Slot_X/ to /luma/titles/000400000003XX00/.
Rename the XX in the folder name to match the TitleID of your game:
- USA - 0004000000035800
- EUR - 0004000000033B00
- JPN - 0004000000032800
Insert your SD card, restart the system, and changes should take place when you launch the game.

Azahar and compatible Citra forks

Put the RomFS folder from /000400000003XX00/Slot_X/ in %AppData%/Citra/load/mods/000400000003XX00/ (by default) to apply the mod on Citra Canary.
Alternatively you can repack the RomFS folder into the game to save some space.

Media

R4 RIDGE RACER Type 4 Opening Remake version (なぞのじんぶつ)

『Initial D The Arcade』Opening Movie (SEGA)

Known issues

Loop playback is a bit scuffed but works. There's a bit of leftover data from the audio tracks that I forgot to trim out, however if you play it back on vgmstream the loops work seamlessly. I tried experimenting a bit but I have no idea why the game behaves like that.
Some tracks sound a bit crusty at times, possibly because of the 3DS's audio
Track titles were hex-edited and limited to the title length of the tracks they replaced. I tried avoid shortening them as much as possible while also keeping tracks group together
Custom track titles only show when game language is set to English (sorry)

Credit

Looping Audio Converter was mainly used to convert the files, specifically version 1.3.

-I've been playing this game a lot recently, but personally didn't like the soundtrack as much, so I replaced it with one that many people adore: &quot;'''R4: Ridge Racer Type 4'''&quot;. Some songs weren't long enough or didn't match the &quot;racing vibe&quot; so I used some songs from the 20th Anniversary soundtrack instead. There also wasn't enough songs so I put in some from racing genres I liked. Hopefully I can add more versions in the future, if not here's the song listing for the game if you wanted to make your own: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvWAFrt8B4A_8jrB4CWcYzXcr7xbu70iIZDO5uSWQ-g/edit?usp=sharing Google Sheets]

-== No Backseat Driving ==
-I found the commentary while racing to be kind of childish and rather annoying, so instead of turning the voices off in the settings I decided to just replaced all the voice clips to be empty. You can edit it by deleting which ones you want to play since I didn't have time to listen and mark what each were saying.
