I hope you realize that statement works in both ways too. :P If I recall correctly all we had seen from Ridge Racer 2 running on MAME were a pair of WIP screenshots with a red error message legend during the Viva Nonno and MAME WIP page days (2002-2003). Of course it's a shock for us common users with no knowledge about the reasons it took so long to see this achieved till today.
Not trying to be ungrateful here. Reading this as working after so many years brings a big surprise considering you could only play it on an abandoned emulator. I haven't yet tried if Viva Nonno still works under Windows Vista/7.
