I love you.

Isamu is still allowed on this forum?

Are you kidding?

All of TNL's rep should go to Isamu.

Also: this is actually a pretty useful heads-up. Thanks.

I just have to know what this guy is like irl.

Great news Isamu !

...Now I must own a FFB wheel. Awesome news!

Very nice, Daytona.... I can play some of that online with others.

why did he attach a .gif of B-Ri dancing?

I want scud racer plox.

"DOOOOT-DOODOOT-DOODOOOT-DOOO DOOT-DODOOOT-DO-DOO-DOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


easily my favorite part...I am literally laughing out loud at work equating this and all those .gifs to this news

This is not the Joust we know.

I know... he's so... happy? WEIRD.




This is awesome news!

The breakdancing frog at the end redeemed imo.

holy shit at that youtube clip.

This guy's a legend.

I couldn't find a Daytona USA rom that worked for the emulator (bad dumps probably) but I played some Sega Rally Championship. It's not perfect yet, but the game is very playable, with a tiny bit of stuttering and graphical glitches here and there. This shows a lot of promise, and I have no reason not to think the emulation could be perfect soon.

My PC sucks, so that could be part of the slowdown. 1.8 GHZ Athlon with an old Radeon AGP card.

isamu is back!

Also, I actually appreciate this news alert. I love Model 2 Emu

I need to get that USB thingy that will let me use my 360 wheel on my PC now.

So, I know this is the model 2 thread, and I know we've talked Model 3 before, but lets bring it back up.

How viable is Model 3 emulation?

The only publically available Model 3 emulator is MAME, and it's slow and buggy. There is also an internal stand-alone emu called Supermodel written by the same guy who wrote the MAME driver, but it is not available to the public, and reportedly a very debug-oriented program (i.e. no interface, not user friendly, and not possessing any of the usual niceties)

Gross. :(

If it says you're missing a bunch of files, google for a specific model2.zip that's slightly under 500 KB in size. It contains shared files for various Model 2 games that aren't included with the most common daytona.zip.

Thanks, I'll try that when I get home from work. It would be good to finally retire the old PC port of Daytona "Deluxe" that I have.

Man, this new version is great even if you don't use a wheel. The limits were jacked up before so you couldn't steer properly, but now it plays great with a pad or a wheel.

Still suffers from the "invisible wall glitch" a bit, but not as severely.

I'm really hoping they get this thing playable online.

My bad guys I forgot mention you need the new Model 2.zip file. It's available right on the front page of the nebula forum. And I highly recommend you guys ask any questions you want over there. Peabo and Wesker are very friendly and will even take suggestions to give El Semi.

I am HOOKED on that nebula forum now! I have to refresh ever 5 minutes in case there's new news on the progress of the emu :lol:

Not gonna happen for a very long time bro. I *JUST asked about this a couple days ago* and got flamed and called a troll. Bottom-line is Haze and his crew are a bunch of elitist pricks and have VERY fucked up principles regarding MAME and what's proper for the emulation scene. The chances of them implementing hardware acceleration support is slim to none(not to mention force feedback).

*gives the finger to Haze*

I agree with Haze that hardware acceleration has no place in MAME and emus that use HW accel are less accurate and don't fit in with MAME's mission statemtent of emulating games as completely as possible.

No idea why they'd resist force feedback though. That's a legit part of the hardware that should be documented and implemented like any other.

Does Top Skater's music play now? The second everything's good, I will build a home controller for this game.

I'd like to know what kind of a controller you'd use for Top Skater. I lost lots of money and sweat playing that game. Isn't that a Model 3 game, anyway?

No, it's Model 2. And I have some ideas, but nothing I've thought about too hard yet.

I can see some sort of setup like the Yanya Caballista or TechDeck fingerboard over a dual analog stick controller, at least until someone makes their own skateboard one. A fingerboard setup wouldn't really be even near the best, but it'd be OK until something more like the real deal came along.

When I get Windows back and see if this is working 100%, give me a couple of months and I will find a way to make this happen. :sonic:

Thanks. I had an incomplete Daytona set that was meant for MAME. That site had the right one.

I copied the missing files from the Sega Rally rom, and Daytona plays great. Excellent.

I'm enjoying Top Skater, but I'm wondering if that hidden course exists. I tried to access it using the code when it was in arcades, and couldn't. I still can't. Anyone else tried?

I couldn't get Daytona to work, something about Network.... Got Sega Rally to work, but don't seem to have alot of flexibility in mapping the controls to my pad.

Same here, using the 360 controller.

So we can finally see Shun's bridge in VF2? nice. (the Sega Ages version was crap).

Now, all I want is someone to emulate the hardware Planet Harriers runs on....

Press F2, go into game options, set link ID to Single.

Or just create a text file named m2network.ini in the root directory and fill it with the following:

[Network]
RxPort=1978
NextIP=127.0.0.1
NextPort=1978
