I have just joined the 4ghz club, and have successfully played my first game of Blitz. ;D
I am however having problems getting Blitz2k and Blitz 99 to go from team selection to the actual game. It seems that it is going to run fine- no hiccups in the sound or anything, then it gets hung up on the load screen between team selection and gameplay. (see pic of blitz 2k)
Anyone else had this problem?
I am running Mame64 128u3 on a Vista64 machine (core 2 duo E8500)

I have the same set up as you and the sound still shutters for me with blitz period.
-
Mine does the same exact thing, hangs right there.
-
Oh yeah sorry, mine does the above as well with that version of the game.

same here I cannot get into the game itself

Follow these instructions (seriously...strange as it is)...this works for Blitz 99 and 2K...
Load the game... when the game comes up hold down button 1 or 4 ...I can't remember which...it's the one that makes the screens skip to the next screen in the attract...you can also wait if you'd like, but it takes a lot longer. Once the game comes up with gameplay in attract, THEN coin up and it will let you play.
I don't know why this happens, but it does...
BTW: I only get sound hiccups when the four "shields" come down between gameplay screens and once in a while during "intermissions" in gameplay. I don't think I ever get sound hiccups in gameplay itself.
Make sure you're running MAME 64-bit if you're running a 64 bit OS. I go about a 30% framerate boost going from XP running MAME to XP x64 running MAME 64-bit compile.

I'm Jealous that you guys can even get it to work. :angry:
But for now, I use the Dreamcast version and it runs flawlessly (using NullDC).

Worked great- thanks! :cheers:

I will have to give you little tip a try... I really wish someone would cater a emu to these kind of game like they did with Zinc and such.
Blitz = Classic

model2 64 comes out
The Model 2 Emulator has a MultiCPU version that takes advantage of a multi core CPU. Not 64-bit but at least it can take advantage of newer CPU's.

:o O really! I have totally missed this! Googling now, Thanks a ton headkaze.

Hehe,
Glad to see peeps sharing my tip I put out awhile ago to get the game running :cheers: Now if they would work on the bugs that would be awsome. I submitted it to Mantis. In the meantime I bought the boards and I play that way :cheers:

Hmmm... Blitz is not a Model 2 game though.
