1. ^ abIn F-Zero X's US build, the machine-settings screen holds each player's engine setting (gPlayerEngine) between 0 and 1, set to 0.5 when the screen opens, except in GAMEMODE_LX_GP_RACE_NEXT_MACHINE_SETTINGS, which keeps the previous setting; in one-player races on the built-in courses, player 1's is then set to the character's last setting. The stick moves it by the square of 0.003 times its x position per update; with the stick under that threshold (a square below 0.001), D-pad left or right moves it by 1/128. The screen draws it with a texture the decompilers name aMachineAccelerationMaxSpeedTex. At the race, func_8008960C, x ↦ 1/(1.69/x − 0.69), maps the setting to unk_1A8, keeping 0 and 1 and taking 0.5 to about 0.37 (computed). Racer_InitMachineStats then blends nine machine values (unk_1B0, unk_1B4, unk_1B8, unk_1BC, unk_1C8, unk_1F8, unk_1FC, unk_1CC's divisor, and a term in both boost multipliers) between two ends by unk_1A8; four of the blends add 0.2 times the gap between the ends times 1 − (2s − 1)², which is 0 at either end and largest at the middle. Each end is itself a blend by the machine's weight, (weight − 780)/1560, of two numbers the function reads from fixed offsets of the cartridge ROM, from 0x078 to 0xA20 (ROM_READ), so the repo doesn't hold the values.Codeinspectredc/fzeroxrevised
