Sega Monaco GP 1979/1980 - My Remake
geecab:
Wow xfassa, thanks for posting the pics, it is looking great!!!
I've just been thinking, with your current screen set up (and the fact I've not really worked out how I'm going to do the dual monitor thing), its a shame that you can't get the benefit of the LED/bezel artwork stuff thats been added. If you did want to add the artwork stuff, as a sort of 'quick fix', what if at random intervals during the attract mode, the game screen could fade into a screen showing the LED/bezel artwork (with and maybe a miniaturized version of the game still visible), then after a moment it returns back to the normal view. You could also force it to switch between views by, say, stepping on the accelerator peddle during the attract mode? Do you think that would be a good idea?? I'm probably over thinking things ;)

Geecab - I came to the same conclusion about the artwork. I decided to remove the original bezel and use the full LCD display. This allows me to include the artwork and led displays. It looks fantastic!!! I will try to make a new bezel to cover up the edges of my LCD display. Thanks so much for your help.
Lots of family/friends will be over today for the holiday. Monaco GP will be getting lots of play! :-)

Looking good xfassa :) One thing I'd probably suggest is to slightly tweak your configuration a little using the on-screen menu (Marginally changing the size & positions of the bezel, leds & playfield), just to make the most use of your screen?
xfassa:
Geecab - Thanks for the screen tip. The adjusted screen size looks much better. ;-)
My Monaco GP cabaret got lots of play over the holiday break. Everyone was amazed how well your simulator played. Honestly, your simulator is preferred over the original. Thanks again.
geecab:
Great Stuff again xfassa :) Glad everyone enjoyed it!
Thought I'd write a quick update. Everything I wanted to add to the new version has been added. There is just one last thing:
In the track text file, I want to be able to set the road width/position changes to be random for an indeterminate amount of miles. Currently, you have to explicitly state the road width should be <some value> at a certain mileage, then at x miles later the road width shall merge to <some value>, then a x miles later the road width shall merge to <some value>, and so on. Which is quite a hassle. It shouldn't take me too long to add something that you can state you want random road width changes within a minimum and maximum width range for x amount of miles.
Was really hoping to get the new version uploaded before the weekend but I've been a bit busy so unfortunately that hasn't happened. I've got a bit of spare time this weekend though so really expect on Sunday I will have the new the version uploaded :)
