It's good.

Use M2 Emulator for Model 2 and Supermodel for Model 3.

You'll need to edit the emulator.ini files for M2 to point to your ROMS folder and Supermodel has it's own way of working, but the performance from both is much better than MAME.

I remember waaaaay back using something called (I think) modeler for Daytona. I lived on my own then, so one weekend I just hooked my pc up to my (at the time) amazing 40" 1080p tv, put my Microsoft sidewinder wheel on a table and spent most of the time drinking cider and playing Daytona, strawberry floating fantastic :wub:

Out of interest I had to restart my PC to apply some updates, so when the Sync resumed it went straight to the Arcade folder and uploaded all the Model 2/3 stuff. Enjoy.

Have you done Game Gear stuff, as the folder is showing empty for me and I don't think any other is.

Just checked and it's created the folder, but not uploaded them yet.

EDIT: I'm manually uploading them now. Should only take a few minutes.

Well I now have an absolute glut of 90s blue sky arcade racing games to add to my collection, as well as more up to date stuff in teknoparot. Its amazing how stuff like sega rally, daytona and others still look good, even though the polycount for the entire game is probably lower than a single gun in a modern shooter. That bright and chunky art style from sega at that time is still so good :wub:.

Not to mention this blue sky anthem.

For reasons I can't explain or understand I've never been hugely into Daytona. I've always preferred the gameplay, aesthetics and music of Outrun:

Speaking of Game Gear, if you get the chance give a game called Sylvan Tale a go. It’s a very Zelda-esque title and looks bloody fantastic for the system.

There was a run of it at the most recent SGDQ:



(starts at 2:15)

Such a shame it didn't get localised in the day, looks like one of the GG's most involved games

Just checked the version of Sylvan Tale in the folder and it looks like it's been patched for English.

Looking for other translation patches as well. Especially SNES stuff that never got an english localisation.

strawberry float sakes, getting the right files for mega cd to work via retroarch was a pain in the arse.

I tried and really like that launchbox thing, and you can use retroarch as the emulator and launchbox as the front end. Go really well together.

Mega CD stuff is best kept in a folder per game/disc and point retroarch or launchbox at the .cue file.

Glad you like launchbox. Easily the best front-end I've tried. There's tons of tutorials on setting up specific emulators with it on YouTube as well. Guy called ETAprime does great ones.

I downloaded the model 2 and model 3 folders. Got Daytona and sega rally going :wub: I didn't bother hooking my chair up or anything but they work flawlessly. Also tried VF2 briefly, it's a great game, probably one of my favourite fighting games.

Amazing that you can have the actual arcade games you used to go mad for, just running on your desktop pc.

It's with gladness in my heart that I can announce that "The Great ROM Upload of 2018"TM is drawing to a close. When I left this morning it was down to it's last 20 or so files. It was dealing with PSP games at the time, but there's probably a few PS2 and maybe even GameCube games in there.

Now this isn't the end of things being added, (I've still got plans for 3DS, Wii U, ALL THE ARCADE GAEMES and other assorted things) but it is the end of the huge folder sync.

I'll be moving the folder into my main Google Drive section and possibly making a few changes to the way it's shared, so anyone who already has the link should look out for a PM from me at some point in the next day or so with an update on how to access it.
