Monaco GP simulator...

councilface:
Does anybody know if this was ever completed? It cant be emulated on MAME for various reasons.  I can only find a smattering of posts on various forums saying that it was a WIP.

If it ever did get working I'll be getting a wheel for my cab ASAP!
bkenobi:
It's currently not in MAME (and likely never will) because of the discrete circuits used to build the machine rather than a CPU, right?  Was it ever in MAME?  I mean, Pong was way back when before it was removed, right?  Were there other games like Pong that were removed because they weren't strictly emulation?
Turnarcades:
Was/is this a video simulation similar to laserdisc games or like tose rollercoaster simulators you sometimes see?

No.
It was a video game, but the entire board was built using discreet circuits, rather than a processor-based board.
That is why it's not in MAME.
There was someone working on a simulator at one point.
The original poster is asking about the status of that simulator.
ahofle:
Yes, this is such a great game and it's a shame it was never fully simulated.
There is a Monaco GP at the local arcade (Arcade Amusements in Manitou Springs, CO).  I'd rate it as one of the best driving games of all time.  It's such a pure reflex/skill game, I still enjoy it today.  The steering wheel almost seems to physically control the car on the screen (hard to describe, it's just extremely accurate).
