Post by: Lilwolf on June 16, 2004, 12:48:31 pm: The pc version was really really lacking I thought

didn't they really rewrite it completely with weaker models, and weaker physics ect.

Anyone have it and tell us if it was any good?

Post by: danny_galaga on June 17, 2004, 12:45:08 am: it occured to me later that a fully emulated version would not only have to be able link up to three other machines, but have output for the steering wheel feedback. still, i never thought id be able to play the original galaxians again either...

Actually, a Dreamcast would make a good addition to any mame cab since it's basically a stripped down Naomi board. AFAIK it can be hooked up to an arcade monitor and arcade controls (via a controller hack) pretty easily.

naomi emulation is "this" close to being a reality.

For the record, and you know how much I hate console ports daytona 2k1 is one of the few ports in history that is better than the arcade version. Unfortunately it's broken as of this version of chankast.
