MEGA ADAPTERS - Plug and Play PC in SEGA Racing Cabinets

[Nostalgic]

I have a Star Wars Racer Arcade that we would like to get running. When will the SW Racer Arcade board be available?

 

[Tibal]

The board is available
It's never been tested on actual hardware though, but I'm pretty confident the diagrams it is based on are correct, because they are similar to others that were proven working.
If you want to try it yourself no problem, else I'll post here when I have a report.

I would very much like to try it and record the result to share with you.

Ok, let's PM

Hello, how do I order?

 

[Tibal]

Hi, via DM

 

[Tibal]

Also, even if I have not noticed it on my brief tests, the emulation of this game would not be without defects

I just tested Star Wars Racer Arcade emulated game on my Initial D cabinet (31k monitor, just like Star Wars Racer Arcade machine)
Emulation is not perfect at all but the game is fully payable.
The issues I noticed are graphical glitches on the Normal Track (water texture poping at the foreground) and Expert Track (glitched cave area). The sound mix doesn't seem correct as sound effects level is much higher than BGM level.
Unfortunately Demul is the only emulator available for this game and it's no longer updated, no short term hope for improvements here.

Here is a playthrough showing all 4 tracks (with chapters):

Hi Tibal. It actually looks pretty decent considering. I'm pretty happy with that.
Im looking forward to getting my precious cabinet new life. Thanks

Can you please check the coin credit and make sure its all works

 

[Tibal]

Yes it works, I tried it. It's just a matter of button mapping.
Couldn't get the outputs (lamps) working properly yet though, even with BigPanik's DemulShooter Special Edition dedicated to this game. I'll give it a few more tries. Even if I don't succeed, it will be possible to make the lamps blink, but independantly from what happens in the game...
