Revision as of 04:13, 28 December 2025

The is a mod for Ridge Racer 3D that replaces the music with the other audio, including the soundtrack from R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 on the PlayStation 1 and some songs from the 20th Anniversay soundtrack.

You can take a look at the song list if you are interested in adding your own song to the game.

Installation

Two versions, Initial-D and R4-OST, are available, which contain 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.

Citra

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.
