Hacking Outrun 2006
charlieram:
I must congratulate you on the work you've done so far. I was always a little underwhelmed with the PC version, mainly because of the lack of FFB. I am really looking forward to digging this out for my old driving cab.
isamu:
Good progress dude!

Yeah I feel like I'm getting somewhere finally. Now maybe I can walk away from it for a while knowing that there is a solution to the problems I wanted fixed. I refuse to let any mere program get the better of me. ;)
I've kind of got a homework assignment for you guys. I know around here it's all about emulation, but some of you guys frequent forums that deal with real hardware, racing sim sites ect... I'm hoping everyone can spread the word and maybe someone out there owning a outrun 2 cab can get us some pics/vids.
I mentioned earlier that something that really annoyed me was the keyboard icons in 2k6. It makes you think that you need a keyboard to navigate when in actuality all of these functions are also mapped to the car controls. The arcade versions of the game don't do this... they have icons representing all the controls when you are in the menu.
I really need a good screen grab of said controls.
This is the best I could find thus far and I pulled them off a youtube video and stitched them into this screenshot.
In addition to this, there is also a yellow start button icon.
It would be nice if somebody that owns a outrun 2 board could get me a screen grab or two or better yet the arcade attract mode video. (Which has a how to play portion that shows all the icons)
Or if somebody wants to fire up their favorite 3d editor and re-create these that'd be cool too.

I mentioned Andy Geezer in another thread. It was in the back of my head somewhere that he had done a custom version of a Sega racer with widescreen and custom music. I was thinking it was a model 3 game, but it's actually Outrun 2.
"Outrun 2 SP Special Edition is a special version of Outrun 2 SP running on a Lindbergh hardware, and features improved feedback steering, high resolution 16:9 graphics and new OST. All improvements done by me to improve what I think is one of the best driving games of all time."
The guy probably knows these Sega machines better than anyone.
You might see if he'll help you out.

Sorry for not remembering this sooner.
Howard_Casto:
Yeah I ran into his videos a lot.
What's nice about the Lindbergh is it's essentially a Linux box, so he might be able to re-direct the video out to a capture card. That is if he's willing of course.
