Restore bonus stages from Xbox original?
Is it possible to restore the bonus stage? https://youtu.be/eMdwY6X8Bbo
Apparently the files for them aren't included with C2C so guess they would have to be taken from OR2 xbox, I noticed that some of the file structures matched up pretty well between arcade/lindburgh and C2C, so maybe xbox ones would also match up too - though Xbox ver probably uses stuff setup for DX8 while C2C is DX9, so could probably cause issues with the textures/models/shaders it uses...
Haven't really looked into game files themselves that much, saw there were some tools for editing textures/sprites but didn't find much about models or maps yet.
Will try seeing what might work with it if I get hold of xbox ver, but probably a slim chance of actually getting them running.

Thanks for answers.
And the question is off topic. Are you planning on fixing Sega Rally Revo in the future?
This post by Howard talks about how he re-implemented a cut Heart Attack mission, so perhaps it's possible. Being able to load new levels into Outrun would be a game-changer.
This came up in the old OutRun 2006 hacking thread with some thoughts from a former Sumo dev:
The Xbox specific Bonus Levels are likely easier, but the textures would need to be extracted, converted and repacked in a PC specific format.
In addition the start and end positions would need to be hacked into the PC executable, we have a bunch of 'magic numbers' which are used to determine the real start and ends of levels. That's why normally you can't rename one level to another and start in the right place. The other side of course is the levels were never meant to be in OutRun2006, meaning you'd have to either hack the stage tables for extra ones to be included or replace other stages with the Bonus ones. Not impossible, but again not straightforward.
