Interesting find...
I've come up with a similar hack for the PS2 version of TMHO (TMHOETE)
.
In TMHOETE, both TMHO and TML run on the same game engine, and both games' cars are
completely interchangeable.
With the cheat device codes later in this post, you can "force select" any car for any player or bot. Furthermore, going through story mode with these cheats turned on won't cause any crashes (even upon beating story mode), and saving will even remember the "forced" player cars (including if TML cars are used in TMHO's story mode or vice versa).
As for these cheats' limitations, I'm only aware of one. If you force select a TMHO boss as a bot car, you can't go in-game unless you're solely playing against that one bot. So for example, in Challenge mode, you wouldn't be able to force select multiple Tower Tooths as your opponents, nor a combination of Tower Tooth and other bot cars.
Cheat Device Codes:Notice...
The following cheats are raw (HEX) ones. To encrypt them for use with a specific cheat device, use a conversion app such as Omniconvert (
http://www.herrvillain.com/omniconvert/). Also, PCSX2 and ps2rd (if using default settings) don't require mastercodes.
How to use...
For each code, replace
XX with the HEX ID of your desired car. For example, to force select Tower Tooth as Player 1's car, use 202F4AC0 000000
76. I've provided tables containing all of TMHO and TML's car IDs after the codes.
