History of Nitto Hacks
by Kaptin Boxxi

	Every game has its fair share of hacks, mods and tools to help users who are brave enough to lose everything they have gain advantages over others. Nitto is no different from any other game, and I, Boxxi, am here to tell you all the history of nitto hacks, bugs and other tools we have had over these last few years.

	In v1, or Nitto 1320 Challege, we have many hacked custom clients, but the two that stuck out were definitely Nitto 1320 Revolution and Nitto Apocalypse. These custom game clients were famous for hacks such as the Auto Win for the 24/7 Tournaments, the ET/RT/TS hacks to auto win any race online, as well as many others. These hacks eventually got v1 shut down, but not forgotten.

	Nitto 1320 Legends, v1's successor, promised fixes to all those issues we had with v1 and the custom hacked clients. For a few years, the game was great! Especially at the beginning. There were no bug hunters, very very few hackers and the community was just as good as v1 when it ended. And then things started going down hill. Race bots. The first one ever made public was called RB 1.3. It was a simple program where you held down the space bar until you saw the Top Amber light up. You would let go and the car would auto race due to settings saved in a text file. Very simple program, was not the greatest bot in the world, but it was where everything started.

	After awhile of the same thing over and over again on v2, few racers started getting bored and decided to start hunting for exploits. The biggest racing exploit we had was known by a simple name that not many realized was actually also how you performed the glitch. Alt-Space. Very simple to use, and many many people exploited it. All you had to do to work this glitch was race down the track in a stock integra or tC and once your about half way, simply hit the 2 keys “Alt+Space.” It would pop up a little menu in the top left corner of your client. You would right click out, and suddenly shoot down the track like a rocket! Running anywhere from 5.6xx to 6.5xx. At this time in the game, NO car could hit said times, it wasn't until much later when premium cars had NOS added as aftermarket parts that we even got close!

	Once Alt-Space was patched, people started trying other ways to hit those same ET's in any car, and that's when Cheat Engine users showed up. Through the method called “Speed Hacking,” players could set hot keys they would hit after hitting a reation time, then fly down the track, hitting the same ET's as Alt Space. It's gotten pretty bad over the years. Some use CE for just RT, some use it for speed hacking. All in all, this still exists in the game today, and has taken its toll on many racers.

	While we had CE users running around, some of us were still using race bots. Most popular at the time was NLCC or Nitto Legends Control Center made by TheOneTrueAce or Jon. It had a Freeware version and a paid for version. This program was top of the line, and still is today. Don't you think for a second its disappeared. This bot has a history in Legends and has changed names a few times. Acez Edge or AE was probably the more well known name. This bot does almost EVERYTHING! It will help you change your plates to lower case letters and different ASCII Characters, It races the 24/7 Tournaments, built-in speed hack, Account Creation Bot, see an opponents bank and so much more. This is about as close to a v1 apoc for v2 that I think we will ever get.

	Don't you think for a second that AE is where it ended. There have been many many free bots, and other bots you have had to pay for over the years of Legends. Project V2, Nitto Assist, Project V3, Sonic, Non, TheEdge, Morpheous, Mini-Morph, Elite 6. Just to name a select few. All of them had a simple purpose, to help you win. You would use these just like any other bot. Setup timers, and hit buttons or hotkeys to have the program watch the lights and fully automate the race for you. These bots have gotten users to go from an average of .55x Reation times of the early v2 days to around .51x and under all day every day. Sure there's plenty of racers out there that can hit .51x all day, if you know your car, its not all that difficult. I personally barely race and still hit .54x average in every car I have.

	All in all, this game is goin down fast. If you noticed, I didn't talk about the mods and user created glitches made by yours truly (this author of this article) because it got quite long. I'll write up another one of these some day, and cover all of that.

	If I had to give any bit of advice to current racers and people buying memberships, points and VIP for this game, I'd say stop wasting your money. It just isn't worth it until admins truly prove they want to keep this game alive and stop updating us once a week with simple graphics wraps, basic kits and fantasy cars like The Box and Beast. If admins can prove they want this game running, I'll even buy a membership. This is a great game, but its ran by those who don't seem to care.

By yours truly lol
