mine's the PAL version. Can you confirm the NTSC version works or are you running PAL in 60Hz?

Which included the F-Zero AX courses.
Why would you do that?

It really is the best racing game ever. Too bad my Wii's disk drive is busted, though. I can't play it. 
I can play it on Dolphin, but it won't be 60 FPS glory...
But not the AX rules, i.e. checkpoints, time limit, etc. and various other things from the arcade game like the menus and coin counter.
The AR codes give access to all of that, as if it were the actual arcade game.

This is pretty neat. Impressed it stayed hidden for so long.
As I recall, the wii version of Rayman Raving Rabbids contains a build of the original platforming version on it but no one found a way to play it/view its assets last i checked.

you can use a usb loader on your wii to play the game if your pc can't run dolphin all that well.

They made AX first and just built GX on top of it, maybe? Or maybe they planned to make AX unlockable but SEGA said "fuck no, we want our arcade money".
It's hard to say. Tons of stuff gets left in retail copies of games for no discernible reason. Maybe it's just because it's more time-consuming to clean up a game of unnecessary/unused assets or content. Same reason beta levels are in most games.

I once tried AX in Japan, in one of the hydrolic cabs.. I had bruises all over, the shaking was really violent!
Playing it in all of my free time, lots of frustration and cramped hands. I was in disbelief when I finally beat that damn thing. I think it was all the effort put into that which killed my desire to continue the pursuit of the AX tracks.

This would be interesting to try but is it even possible to use an action replay if you have to use an import cd disc additionally? Damn I miss F-Zero on the gamecube one of the best gaming experiences last gen.

Those things are fun but they do kinda stink, playing After Burner Climax in the hydrolic cabinet was a nightmare too.
Not with arcade rules.

this is incredible.
Why would you do that?

USB loader doesn't work with a broken disk drive.
And of course the other USB loader's anti-piracy prevents me from using that, too...fabricated backlash

I never even knew they were there until years later. For all it's great achievements, F-Zero GX was simply too hard for me. A fucking shame too as I enjoyed it quite a bit, but to unlock everything was just too much for me and that's where the fun ended personally.
It could be because F-Zero AX runs on arcade hardware which is apparently based on the Nintendo Gamecube. Chances are the game was developed universally, much like an Android or iOS app containing data for both the phone as for the tablet.
But that just sounds realistic to me. Who knows how far off I am.

Proud to say I was able to unlock both the AX tracks and Pilots in the GC version. I also played the arcade cabinet which is amazing. If I remember right the only difference is some of the screens and some of the music. But its pretty much the same game except you wont die if you fall off the track you'll just get restarted by the little robot like in VS mode. Playing the arcade cabinet was the big deal with the game that thing shakes and sways like crazy

the main draw of the arcade version was the machine itself and filling your license card by fulfilling the requeriments.
also, in AX, you can't use GX vehicles or tracks so this mode is actually more limited than the normal game. i was hoping i could race in the other 4 cups with arcade rules.
