R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 Cheats

Hold L2 + R2 at the start of the race

I believe I've executed the Rocket Start with a neGcon, except there are no L2 or R2 buttons, so I didn't hold them.

It's excacly as the Rocket Start by IcemanUK, but here it is for completeness' sake: Quickly step through the gears to 4 or 5, then accelerate to about 12 o'clock position (around 6000 rpm for me). Don't worry about the L2+R2, the neGcon doesn't seem to need it.

Note: neGcon is an analog racing controller from namco.

At race countdown, hold the accelerator down so the revcounter needle hits the 12 o'clock position. Then quickly step through the gears to about 4th [or 5th] while keeping the needle at approx 12 o'clock. This requires a balancing act between the needle and the accelerator button. Now as long as you have L2+R2 held down as the countdown finishes you will be propelled forward at that gear without suffering wheelspin!
