Excellent news! I have TW2004 (And might pick up TW2005 since it's on sale for 9.99 this week), but those games are really single player IMO. Too complicated for a casual setting.

Edit: And I don't wanna get in this argument again, but I'm one of those XP users that gets nothing but crashes from GT PC.

Ya I got TW2004 and Tw2005 I use xp and ive never had any problems with GT PC. I thought these games werent coming out? I hope they come out that would be great.

Personally, I thought TW99 was a wonderfully arcadey golf game, but you swing the trackball right and left, not back and forth....

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #6 on:** February 06, 2005, 11:53:14 am »

It seems that since the pre-2001 Golden Tee games are no longer for sale, they're now Mameable.
More details on Aaron Giles WIP pages.
Can't wait to see how slow these run!

pointdablame · « **Reply #7 on:** February 06, 2005, 12:27:00 pm »

That is some excellent, exciting news. This was probably the biggest hurdle to getting them into MAME, and now that they aren't "current" we'll just have to see how they play on modern PCs like JoyMonkey said.

I know some of the GTs were in MAME for a short while, or there were at least some versions out somewhere... does anyone know how they ran? What types of speeds will we need to have some crazy drunken GT2k parties

dabone · « **Reply #8 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:08:33 pm »

It seems to use the same drivers as world class bowling..

If you can run that I bet you can run golf.

I can't wait!!!

(And I own 2 of the real games myself!)

Shuffleshot is an IT game as well isn't it? I believe that came out after some of the GT's so if you can run that I'd think you can run these

Just speculation though, didn't check what driver shuffleshot uses.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #10 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:49:49 pm »

I don't think I've played any GT games before previous to 2001. Did these earlier ones include the 3D 'follow the ball' fly-bys? I can see those being seriously chuggy.

dabone · « **Reply #11 on:** February 06, 2005, 02:08:02 pm »

The new machines (2k2 and later) introduced the flyby and backspin buttons.

Out of curiosity, what version of directx are you using? I can never get the thing to load before it crashes XP. After spending some time on google, I came to the conclusion this is fairly common and some have stated any version of directx 8.0 or higher = automatic death. Talking about GT PC.

DaemonCollector · « **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:25:24 pm »

I have GT PC running on windows xp with DX 9..so thats not it

Same here. I think the problem is with Windows 2000.

anyone else notice that the release version of mame is .91 but they already have the build tools for .92 up for download.

maybe soon, maybe real soon.

Heh, many of us know this is old news

The driver has been floating around for a long time.

I'll let you know one thing. It runs like crap on a PIII 500.

dabone · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2005, 12:10:03 am »

I'm gonna guess I'll have a better shot at it.

p4 2.8 /1 gig ram.

After this comes out I've got to redo my control panel and put the trackball in the center of the panel.

OMG! I can't wait for this to be supported by MAME! And I won't even be able to play it because my 2

Lilwolf · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2005, 05:55:08 am »

btw, wcbowl runs GREAT on a 2gig. So it hopefully will be playable on many systems out there.

Time to redo my trackball cp.

walls83 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 07, 2005, 08:59:43 am »

Im running the highest version of Direct X that is out. I dont know what the version is but thats what I run.

If your pc can run world class bowling and shuffleshot it will be able to handle the golden tee's.

hulkster · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2005, 11:52:29 am »

hmmm, so im guessing it will be a while before its out for public distribution correct? well "public distribution"....you know what i mean

Popcorrin · « **Reply #26 on:** February 07, 2005, 02:35:21 pm »

It's been fully emulated in mame since probably 20-30 versions ago and left out because it was still a money maker for IT. Since IT isn't selling it anymore I assume they now feel it's safe to add to mame. So I'm guessing it will be added in the next release. Not sure why they would create a stir about it otherwise.

SirPoonga · « **Reply #27 on:** February 07, 2005, 02:56:52 pm »

Exactly. It's been out for along time.

shuffleshot just runs on my PIII 500. Frameskips once and awhile. GTG I horrible. But that's on the old driver before the SHA-1 driver change era.

nipsmg · « **Reply #28 on:** February 07, 2005, 03:22:57 pm »

GTG runs well on a 900mhz machine I have.

I kept updating *my* driver for a while (no, you can't have it, don't ask

).. i wonder if it'll still compile in.. hmm.. Oh well I never did get wcbowldx to work, that'll be nice, I guess.

Had to happen sometime. Trust me, after all the hype and wait and worry about gtg in MAME, you're going to get it, play it once or twice, and never really play it again. Especially after playing GT Fore! or TW golf, it's kinda disappointing now, but still fun nonetheless. Hopefully the annoying little bugs in my driver have been fixed.

It's all in the protection address, toots...

I'm stoked cause I've wanted to update my version of Mame but have been too lazy to update my GTG driver. Its great with the screen flip on on my cocktail cab, but I've gotta play with the thumb flick d/t the lack of room...

I've had a working GT driver for a couple of years and resisted the tempation to rub it in...

Justed wanted to answer a question I saw above. I believe if you go to the IT website, you can get a comparison of the cab dimensions amongst the machines. The angles and such. I'm really excited about this one boys. Good news!!!

knuttz · « **Reply #32 on:** February 10, 2005, 03:23:26 am »

Now I'm just curious as to how many people on this board actually have the driver and have had it for "a few years". I knew you guys weren't making trackball panels just to play that crappy PC version IT put out. Boy am I pissed and totally excited at the same time!

Not me, I'm don't think the GT games are that special. I built my trackball panel for mainly non-golf games. Shuuz is one of my faves while drinking with mates

nipsmg · « **Reply #34 on:** February 10, 2005, 08:20:11 am »

Well, I built mine for centipede, bowling games, and marble madness.

AND Golden Tee. But I got really into playing Fore! in the arcade, and coming back to GT2k is like playing halo, then trying to really get into a game of pong right afterwards.. It's still fun tho. I break it out from time to time.

walls83 · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2005, 09:28:22 am »

I play golden tee, TW2004 and TW2005. But Im with Minwah

Shuuz is what I play, but Ive been playing alot of world class bowling lately also some suffleshot.

Rolled a 237 the other night in WCB. Im going to get my 300 game sometime.

But on another note I cant wait for the new GT games to come out.

I love the GTG games. The courses on GT Classic are pretty cool.

Much like other 4 player games, its as much the social & taunting part as it is the game itself. (at least for me) Plus its a great betting game... buck a stroke anyone?

I wish Shuuz had a timer you could disable like you can in the GT dipswitch / setup. That sure makes it easier to run and get a beer...:p
