So... Remember this image I posted earlier? I said It may have been a beta texture for selecting your bike, like in jet moto 2 or one, where you actually see the bike floating and turning. Maybe Jet Moto 3 was meant to be like that and having a background image where your bike is showcased? Well... As it turns out... I WAS RIGHT! YEAAAAAAAH!!! I've downloaded an ISO of disc 2 of the Playstation Underground Magazine Demo Disc 3.2 and it has a commercial for the Alpha of Jet Moto 3!! And I've caught 3 frames... 3 FRAMES OF SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING. Here is the last one : YES! IT'S A BIKE SELECT MENU!! LIKE IN JM1 AND JM2, AND THE BIKE ROTATES ITSELF! NO CGI CRAP!! This BEGS the question... IS THE MENU STILL IN THE GAME? Maybe it's accessible by a gameshark code! BTW.: I'm gonna upload the trailer on my YouTube channel.

Some interesting observations you're making, Enigma.

Some interesting observations you're making, Enigma. Thanks! Also, I just found JM3's producer, Hunter Luisi's Facebook! I've sent him a message asking if I could ask him a couple of questions concerning the game! Hopefully he'll respond and we'll be able to know more about the game's origins and Alpha/Beta states!

When was his last post? Just asking XD May 30th 2015 was his last share, so we can figure he's not all that active on Facebook, but he visits it decently often. Also, by the way he was talking in the JM3 interviews, it seems he's the one who made JM3 so different. He said "they" wanted JM3 to be ridable anywhere and very fast, but since he's the producer, we can pretty much assume he had most of the creative decisions, but that might not be true. The only thing we know for sure is that the programmer, Ming Lee, didn't have any creative involvement at all, he only did what he was told. I think Hunter might be the guy to give us answers, but then again, depending on how he was involved with JM3's development and how well he remembers it, it might prove to be difficult, if he even responds that is. Also, maybe it's a completely different person, because it's hard to recognize someone nearly 20 years after you last saw him. Well, I'm pretty sure it'S him, since his LinkedIn profile, which has his Facebook profile picture, says he worked at Sony Computer Entertainment from 1994 to 2001, JM3 was made in 1999, so it fits perfectly.

Alright then. Good luck with the mods, if you plan to make some more.

Yep, since I lost everything I previously did, I'll have to start over, but I'll try to make complete re-textures this time, all by myself, no switching texture files, just making new ones! EDIT : I just downloaded the Jet Moto 3 - Special Enigma Events and it turns out everything I had done was on this ISO! I got pretty lucky, huh?

Alright, so I found that the file SCUS_945.55 is the one which loads the LMP lightmaps and TIM backgrounds.

Here's a little preview of my new upcoming build of Jet Moto 3 : Enigmods, featuring Devil's Iceberg!

lol, that's great.
Have you ever thought of trying to inject your own models or textures into the game? Considering that you've been able to decompile everything and all.

lol, that's great. Have you ever thought of trying to inject your own models or textures into the game? Considering that you've been able to decompile everything and all. For textures, it's really easy. Jet Moto 3's textures all use a 16 color palette (except some REALLY rare ones, which use 256 colors), so I just have to remake 16 bit textures. You most likely realized that the textures on this screenshot are actually the original Devil's Canyon textures, I just messed with the palette to make them look whitish and bluish. As for the snow, I just replaced Khumbu Ice Falls' WLD file with Devil's Canyon's. Now, for the models... I... Can't say I can extract them. It seems the .BND might contain checkpoints lighting and other data, so they aren't exactly pure 3D model files. Sadly, I don't know how to modify them. I'd really like to, but without a very experienced programmer to crack its code, I can't do anything. Of course, if I'd have the proper tools the original JM3 programmers used, it'd be a piece of cake, but for the moment, I can't do anything with models.

I'm just not sure about a female version of Enigma, I intended on making Enigma genderless, with a male appearance and voice. But I do have an idea that could make a female version of Enigma work! Also, for JMG, I'll start over making it when I get my new computer in October, I know, it'll be a while, but it'll be better this way, since I'll have a GTX 980, maybe Ti, and it'll make the process of testing the game way easier. At this point, the computer I have now will serve me as a testing machine, I'll make JMG to run on very crappy hardware, but I'll also try my best to make it beautiful and running good on a powerful computer.

Yeah Enigma is one and only, i just wanted to throw in something extra, i guess how in jm2 enigma was a bonus maybe enemiga could be another bonus oh and it's pronounced (enemeega). i mean like you said enigma is kinda a dude so the gender leans more to the male side and i just wanted to balance things out with a female version--Unless! i just got this idea right now as i was typing, the big reveal in the end is that both characters are really one, perpetuating the whole "unknown" background, well it's just an idea
