Glad to hear you're OK Howard, your absence around these parts was conspicuous.

Hi guys. Lost my old login details (been many years), so signed up again.
Whilst messing with the game, did any of you talented folk by any chance find a way of extracting the .PS2 file format from the later Japanese PS2 OR2SP port ?
It seems every single port other than this version (including arcade Lindberg) does not loop audio at the right points, and the cut-off before restarting the track is really amateurish sounding. Not something you expect with such an otherwise polished game.
I want to replace these with the extracted fixed versions from OR2SP PS2, for use on Lindberg via Teknoparrot, and FXT on PC.
I've looked around the web on old sites, and then for a bms script, but haven't found anything, sadly.

I got to play on an Outrun 2 SP cabinet for the first ever time last weekend, at a new arcade bar that's just recently opened up in the centre of my home city. I was quite surprised to find out that the arcade version of OR2SP had a couple of extra features compared to the home versions, that I was previously unaware of, like the ability to play a special versus track, which mixes and matches some of the regular Outrun 2 courses with some of the ones from SP in a slightly different order. There's also some small animated representations of your cars in the top right of the screen that react to your position in a versus game. Also, your girlfriend Clarissa pops up from time-to-time at the bottom of the screen with little comments about how you're driving and what route you're taking, something that doesn't happen in the home version. Interesting that I'm still finding out new stuff about this game, all these years later....

That's awesome. Didn't know about those details. Another detail I'm not sure you're aware of, is that after playing a race, if you want to play another race you can press brake, view and shift together and it will put you right back in the race with the exact same configuration you had before. Pretty cool.
By the way I was playing a bunch yesterday and put up some new high scores on the continuous track via TP so if anyone wants to challenge my time/score go for it :)
Man what wouldn't give to have a hack that allowed us to edit the courses FXT style. It would be the best of both versions.
