Drag Race (finished)
#335960 - 01/12/15 12:31 AM Attachment: dragrace.zip 11188 KB (34 downloads)


It's been nagging me that the Drag Race artwork was never fully finished. The problem was that displaying the gear state was just not possible without a change to the Mame driver (same goes for all games with more than 2 gears unfortunately). I finally got around to submitting the change so this should work now if you compile from the latest source (otherwise it will be in 0.158). Also I separated the elements by layer so you can turn cpanel, marquee and bezel on or off individually.

EDIT: replaced link with attachment.

Great work!

It's amazing how the proper artwork helps bring these old games back to life.

I hope there are a lot more of these that are "nagging" at you for your free time.

Thanks for the hard work, time & effort!

Good work as usual there. It looks far different compared to when first seeing it emulated back in 2001 or maybe it was 2002 when first emulated.

It took MAMEdev member "frotz" a while to emulate the game because of some of its hardware quirks compared to other Atari/Kee games. iirc it may have been due to some emulation issues of the cpu at the time that had to be completed first even before Drag Race could be emulated.
