Hex Cheat:
----------
First, one has to open the file ui.ar in the
Midtown madness directory. At the bottom of
the file, one can find the different things
such as the placing in the race required to
unlock the next set of races as well as how
many races it unlocks. There is also the stuff
where you can choose how many races you must
complete to unlock the cars such as the Panoz
GTR-1. Below are the exact co-ordinates of the
different vehicles (the offsets may vary in
different hex editors, but not by much):

The placing in the race to unlock the next race - 012f7b36
How many races it unlocks at once - 012f7b4a
VW New Beetle - 012f7b5e
City Bus - 012f7c30
Cadillac Eldorado - 012f7d02
Ford Mustang Cruiser - 012f7dde
Ford F-350 - 012f7eb0
Ford Mustang Fastback - 012f782
Ford Mustang GT - 012f805e
Panoz GTR-1 - 012f813a
Panoz Roadster - 012f822a
Freightliner Century - 012f82fc

Just read from the ANSI text part and edit what one wants.
Basically, what everyone whould want is to unlock every
vehicle. Simple. Just set the "Unlock Flags" part to
"Unlock Flags=0" or 00. In the Panoz GTR-1, set the
unlock score to 0000. Even an amateur can drive that
car then. It should be pretty simple to edit what one
wants other than that.


No timer in Blitz mode:
-----------------------
This cheat makes the timer in blitz mode disappear.
It also makes the dashbord disappear. When you are
starting the race press your view button and go
inside the car. When you are inside look back and
while you are doing that press your view button again.
Now the timer will be gone. But if you want your time
registered, you simply go in the car and just look back.
The timer will be running again.

This code can also be used on any other race to get a
very good time.

----------
-GameTips-
----------
Tip: If you're finding traffic hard to navigate, get off the
road and onto the sidewalk. Most of the vehicles can drive
quite nicely on the sidewalks between the guardrails and the
lampposts, and you'll find a clear path (this works very well
out on Navy Pier). Also, don't worry about crashing into those
massive checkpoint posts on the sidewalk--they're invisible
(collision-wise) to your vehicle.

Tip: If you get into a bump-and-grind situation with an AI
car, you'll find yourself losing most of the tussles, even
if you have the bigger vehicle. The best tactic is to quickly
sideswipe the car, and then swerve away. If you time it right,
you can bump the car into oncoming traffic or a building.

Tip: The AI-controlled drivers always stay on the road,
which means that you'll have great opportunities to cut a
few corners here and there (remember, Chicago has plenty of
parks!). When you're off-road driving, slow down a bit and
try not to make any turns. If you try anything wild on the
soft grass, you'll probably spin out and lose any advantage
you might have gained.

Tip: To win a race, especially a Checkpoint race, you need to
know the course. Take on the course in one of the heavier
vehicles with no cops and limited traffic, and you'll maximize
your chances of making it through the course and learning all
of the possible shortcuts. You won't win, but you'll gain vital
knowledge that will help you when you go back into the race with
a performance vehicle and full obstacles in place.

Tip: Vehicle damage is your enemy! There are so many things to
hit during the course of the race that you'll often find yourself
with a wheelless, smoking hulk of a car before you can finish the
race. Try to save your damage points for when you really need them
(such as making that jump across Navy Pier) and avoid hitting too
many lampposts.

View damage:
------------
There is a damage meter in almost all of the cars.
You must have the view set to "In-Car", with the
dashboard showing. The meter has yellow to the left
and red on the right. The meter goes up as you crash
into objects. In most cars, except the Panoz Roadster,
it will be in the lower left of the dashboard.

Overhead view:
--------------
Select any smaller vehicle. Repeatedly press C during
game play until you cannot see your car. Press V, then
press [Esc] to restart the race, then press V again.

Drive 999 mph:
--------------
Select single player mode and choose a big car. Start
the game, go to any alley, get wedged between two walls,
and accelerate. If done correctly, you will reach 999 mph.

Disable blitz mode timer:
-------------------------
Press [View] when a race starts to switch to the in-the-car
camera. While inside, look back and press [View] again.
If done correctly, the dashboard and timer will disappear.
To start the timer again, enter the car and look back again.

Drive on building:
------------------
There is a dotted square on the middle part the map.
Go straight down the top dotted line and try to go around
at top speed with a light weight car. There will be a ramp
when you get to the end of the road. Hit that ramp and your
car will jump very high. Try heading for the building on the
left. If you succeed, you will be on top of the building and
the background will glitch. This jump is possible, but difficult
to pull off.

Drive bus on roof:
------------------
Drive the City Bus into McCormick Place and into the garage area.
Drive up one of the ramps on the inside. If done correctly, you
will be on the roof. Note: This cheat works best with the
dashboard or external view.

Invisible car:
--------------
Press [View] to select the furthest view. Then, press D to
return to the in-the-car-camera. Type wvvww to remove the car,
leaving only the shadow in the view.

Wheels only:
------------
Select the Panoz AIV Roadster, then press D followed by V during
game play. Press [Esc] to restart the race and only the wheels
of your car will be displayed.


GameTip:
--------
Easy way to get away from the cops
is to wait til the bridge gos up and
drop into the water and start over

Getting ride of cops:
---------------------
All you have to do is get alot of cops behind you
in San Francisco go to the Golden Gate Bridge you
have to have a big truck(humvee,bus,firetruck,
ect...),then go to any were on the bridge.Get one
cope against the bridge and floor it and the cop
will fall. It may take along time but it is worth it.

Big Wide World:
---------------
To get out side San Fran, select the Cruise mode and
pick your car as God Killer or BMW M3 2000, go to the
dock end of the high way. Go as fast as you can up
the highway. Just before you get to the turn offs,
turn left slightly. You should fly over the wall and
out side the city. BEWARE, the walls of the city are
invisible on the outside, so go slowly!

Super Grav:

Submitted by: Andrey TheBest

you start to drive).

Now go to the bridge and when it's up, jump with speed over him and you will
fly very far. Have Fun...
