The two "different" NTSC versions of GT4

I think I've solved the mystery why some people can't get the codes work for their game.

Back then when GT4 hybriding started we didn't know why there seemed to be at least two different versions of the North American release of the game.
Now I'm pretty positive that the reason why you can't get the codes to work is that your game is patched.

Codes that are meant for "NTSC" version are for the unpatched (or maybe for the shrinked?) game and "NTSC2" codes work if you have applied nachbrenners "skip videos" patch below

Code:
gametitle=Gran Turismo 4 NTSC U/C [SCUS 97328] [33C6E35E]
//skip Videos
patch=1,EE,00100D84,word,24100001

I've heard that there's even been codes for a third "version" of the game, anyway I have no idea what patch that is.
 
why am I not suprised...

I believe Gameshark has a way to detect between variations in disks. for example, there were two versions of RE Outbreak, here. unfortunately, the OTHER cheat device only has codes rigged for the original version :P
