Cruis'n USA single-game emulator...THAT would rock!
« on: December 11, 2006, 01:10:51 pm »
Hey all!

I've just seen all the single/few game emulators that take advantage of
HW acceleration. Such as Zinc, Vivanonno and Radikal Bikers

I'm an idiot, of course, but I couldn't help thinking: how come noone
has made a Cruis'n USA emulator? The word on the street is that it will
take for ever before our PC's can run it!

Maybe if we all chipped in :)

That word is OLD. It runs great on my PC right now. Make sure you are using a built after .94u5. I'd highly suggest trying out 0.95 and also .111.

Getting full frames with an Intel e6600 setup, got decent frames on an AMD 3700+ as well.  Somewhere on the MAMEFAQ It is suggested to turn off auto frameskip and set your frameskip manually; part of the auto frameskip process interferes with the emulation render process or something.  You could run the N64 version if you can't MAME it.

I second just running it in Project64, a N64 emulator. It will be grainier but you will get you fix. And then I realized that Cruisin is a lame rail-racer (no different paths, etc). It has its moments.
