Fun With A Game Shark and Ducati World Racing Challenge

Last night I had fun with a GameShark Pro and Ducati World Racing Challenge.

I've found the event description structures, so I managed to run races on different tracks, with different lengths and entrants. Your entrance requirements seems tied to the AI entrant list, however, so no over-powering them that way. I also won a lot of money for a single race. I can patch different bikes into the Vintage lot or the 1-player challenges, but haven't quite convinced myself I don't create bad garage structures that way sometimes. Patch the length of the 1-player challenge to 0 laps and you'll nearly always win. A challenge only seems to be accepted if the horsepower of the challenge bike is greater than or equal to yours. At least, I think that's how it works. In general, the bikes codes are in order of viability (oldest to newest, basically; same order as the QuickRace menus) but not entirely.

I'll eventually probably get around to posting some details here to allow others to do similar stuff.

No hybrids in DWRC. The modifications are indicated by a single bit only, with the meaning of those modifications being dependent upon the value (code) of the bike itself. Garage entries are only 32 bytes long, so you wonder why you're only allowed 5 of them.
