Namco system 22 emulated!!!!!!!!

bugs

System 22 emulation is now a reality, well for ridge racer 2 and rave racer anyway.
I've been plugging away at ridge racer 2 for a few hours now and its great emulation, i'm only running a p3-500 and the emulator runs really well considering how hopeless zinc is on my machine.
I don't have a copy of rave racer to try yet and i'd really like to give it a go as its alot better than 2.

Games to look forward to include tekken 3, tekken tag, alpine racer....etc.

Emulation has been quiet for a while, nice to see a new release and a good one at that.

http://www.retrogames.com

They have a link in the news to the emulator as well as the news site they got the information from (which MAY/or may not have a direct download of ridge racer 2 on said news site...)

LoGiE

Ah thats improved my mood no end:) arriving home from greece today doesn't seem as bad now. time to check this all out me thinks

LoGiE

Well that took a while to find...:rolleyes:
I got roms (7.26mb) available at you know where;) and emu and can't get it to work:mad:
By the way if you have anything less then 1ghz and 256mb it's not worth it according to the read me.
Anyone got it working yet? I'll have to try again later

bugs

No so grasshopper. To run it at FULL spec you have to have a 1GHz machine and alot of ram, with a geforce type card.
But they guy has thought of us ppl with fupp all money to upgrade our systems. Just set the texture reduction to 1/2 and it'll run 60fps solid. Thats taken from my machine which is a p3-500 with 128 megs of ram and a tnt 2 ultra, which these days is crap. The textures are warped anyway so running the game at full spec makes no difference.

Theres alot of things he needs to iron out but its clearly a great piece of coding.

KdjaCL

cant finds the rom ,
the ones i did find gave CRC errors.

Kdja

DiscoStu

the only dump out there is the one with the crc errors. aparently the gfx glitches are caused by the badness of the dump to. it should work after a few goes. but i aint had any luck after i moved to xp on friday night. it just wont start at all.

l3rian

i can not download that emulator from the given link, its a bad zip file, can you post a good link

KdjaCL

i couldnt either so i searched for the exact filename.zip in google
Man you must be new round here ...LOL
thats how you get the roms ....hehhehe


kdja

bugs

I have yet to read of anyone with the correct CRC, i've spoken to alot of ppl, and everyone has the same crc errors. Even screeners from various websites that were given the rom are the same.

R Belmont (had a small part to do with impact etc.) said a few days back that the texture errors are a matter of the emulator and not that dump. Much alike the tekken 1/2 errors.

Xp isn't an emulator friendly OS, i wouldn't be bothered tho. So long as the maker doesn't get spammed with crap mail i'm sure we'll see a better release very soon.

As for the link, i gave no "link" to the rom, i told you where you could find it and its where almost everyone is getting it so it is working. Try using a resuming download proggy.

LoGiE

Well with a bit of luck he'll be able to refine his code further to allow folks with lower spec's to experience true emulation of the game.

l3rian that link was fine for me...You try to download it again??
try
Most of the large emu sites have uploaded it by now anyway

l3rian

i managed to find both emulator and rom and am now as happy as a kid in a free arcade

TinCool

I downloaded it too, however, I get a load of crc errors (I know these don't matter) and then a sound initialisation failure and the emu quits out. Thats in Win98 btw.

bugs

Heres a link to the fixed roms that were actually corrupt in the dump, get 'em quick

http://66.162.73.99/pcbboard/rr2j/rrs1fixroms.zip

Dunno if it fixes the errors, havent had time to try, will in a sec tho.

bugs

WOW!

Thats running on a p3-500 with 128 megs ram and a tnt 2 ultra.
The textures have been reduced to 1/2 and i only get one crc error ( i shouldnt get any but thats beside the point) its still missing the odd thing but its really really playable and looks excellent.

bugs

NEW file

CRC fixed bin file (its the one that didnt seem to be repaired)

Can be downloaded from here:

http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~air/Rrs1ccrh.bin

Currently 60fps constant of pure joy

It also supports pads which is weird, my sidewinder fell on the floor and i noticed that the car moved. Supports analogued pads at that. once again wuhooo

KdjaCL

if me was you me would delete those posts and use PMs to those who want them.....

kdja

bugs

Nothing i've pointed links to will work as a rom, they're merely fix files for the rom itself

I have not been a bad-boy(tm)

KdjaCL

good point



me shall get in morning.
kdja

TinCool

Got it working at last. Sound is class. Must get those fixes later on this evening. Hope they're still there.

LoGiE

NICE ONE BUGS!

Ronan|Raven

yes youve been a very good boy

/me hands bugs a shiny silver star

from the screenies it seems to be of an ok quality as well. It should run ive a p770 with 369 megs of ram and a good old fashioned tnt2.

bugs

Anyone who needs the fixes or that bin file, just pm me, i can serve them off a nice fast server

l3rian

thanks bugs, this game is brilliant, the sound is classic, the new graphics great, and its speeds along, i was comparing this to ridge racer 4 on ps2 and this version is a lot faster

bugs

Seemingly rave racer is around but only the emulator writers are giving out the correct dump and very few ppl have it.

Rave racer (for anyone whose played it before) is probably one of the best ridge racer series games, music's pretty awful but the tracks are great.

KdjaCL

cough *kazaa*cough
search by exact filename
and VIRUS check it.
Also google brings up a few hits.

kdja

bugs

Hell if anyones actually found a dump of it, send me a pm with a link cos i'm not a fan of kazaa and winmx don't have it.

And 99% of the emu community don't have it

Mikill

Have gotten the emu and Ridge Racer 2 working now.
Have to say thanks to bugs for all the help.
was wondering about Rave Racer myself actually.

ondafly

After reading this thread last nite, cancelled my mp3 downloads, and downloaded ridge and the emu. and its running sweet on a p3 600 768ram , nearly brought a tear to my eye, remembering all those mispent 50p coins in Quirkeys, and then buying a PS for the bloody game !

All i can say is, please if anyone finds raver racer, send me a PM

Also , id love to see Time Crisis on my PC, altough maybe im hoping for too much.

KdjaCL

finally got a chance to get it running and i get an error cant load "rr uu bin " somfin

need sleep plz fix ........lol

kdja

TinCool

Got Ridger Racer 2 working with the fixed bin files and man its sweet even on my celeron700. Anyone get Rave Racer up and running yet ? More to the point, anyone "get" Rave Racer yet ?

ondafly

i'm gonna go hunting for it tonight, as it was the Ridge game that never came out on any consoles, the brought out the rather dull Rage Racer - which was good, but not as good !

po0k

I have it running fine on my P3 800 640meg GeForce2 pro 64meg

TinCool

You have Rave Racer running ?

ondafly

dont think we'll be seeing Rave Racer for awhile, read through a few EMU boards, and it seems only the authors have it up and running, and haven't let it out for download yet,

KdjaCL

still getting error cant open "rr uu bin" and then it shuts down ,using the old rom and even with the fixed set.

i dont even see the game just loads and crashes

anyone any ideas??


kdja

bugs

Make sure the files are correctly named, check the zip. The only file i could see that looks like it might have caused the problem is
Rrs1prg-uu.bin

It should be fixable easy enough.

KdjaCL

thats the filename exactly...

its only on part1 but ,was just playing 2


how can i fix it ????
Kdja

Gerry

Sweet, got it to work perfectly.
spec: p3 933 , 512mb pc150, geforce2 gts.

By turning on dxt1 texture compression I got it to work with no texture reduction.

Absolutely class piece of work.

Krusty_Clown

Managed to find RR1, but can't even get a sniff of RR2...
Anyone want to help out?

PM me pls..

KdjaCL

Pmed



btw still get that error "cant laod "Rrs1prg-uu.bin
"

any ideas???

LoGiE

KdjaCL

thx

Mixie

Are the default settings for the emu particularly low? Just it seems to have awful graphics here (e.g. 2 colour almost-rectangles for cars) when first run, and I can't get into the config screens... when i click the relevant menus, it just sits there \

Any chance someone can paste the contents of their config file into a reply?

l3rian

yes, the default graphics settings are terreible, but once you change them it will look amazing, i had same problem that i couldnt change any settings in the emulator window, but the settings can be changed in a file called "settings.xml", you have to EDIT this file, not open it, only change the numbers in " ", change the a few things like : texture_format="1" texture_reduction="0" and this should help

do you have xp? wondering why we cant get settings in emulator window

DiscoStu

Make sure "disable visual themes" is checked for the exe. then you can change the config.
