SEGA Titles

[Marky_1979]

How do i find out the status or progress made on making certain SEGA Arcade titles available on MAME namely Virtua Striker, Virtua Striker 2, Virtua Tennis, Die Hard Arcade Plus a few others.

Is there a website or a record somewhere of developments?

There are DUMP sites with some info and MAME.NET should have some info concerning Sega emultaion.

In the mean time you could check gurus dump

Die Hard Arcade is SEGA ST-V and the rest of the titles you listed there are NAOMI 1 and NAOMI 2 hardware.

Satourne is close to having ST-V emulation working correctly. The closest thing currently to emulating NAOMI is Chankast and sadly if it does get emulation going, it will likely be slow as molases as there are still a lot of performance boosts needed for Dreamcast which is a very stripped down version of the NAOMI hardware.

Hope I didn't venture too far off topic.

Thats excellent Goz thanks for your help. So SEGA emulation is a long way off at moment   which makes me sad lol as i loved those arcades.

Sega emulation is supported in a couple of emulators, but yeah support for NAOMI is a ways off. ST-V via Sattourne (french saturn emulator) is supposed to partially work, and I've been trying to get it working for the last week with no luck.

Well good luck with it mate. And lets hope That SEGA Emulation is not as far away as we think.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, get your terminology right. 

Sega (it's not all caps as it doesn't stand for anything) has had a 3 dozen or so arcade systems and 90% of them are emulated. 

As gozur stated, the games you mentioned are Naomi system titles and should be referred to as such.  Saying that Sega games aren't emulated because of that small handful of titles is like saying Nintendo games aren't emulated because "Star Wars Episode I:  Pod Racing" isn't emulated.

go learn yourself something.

lol ok someone has a bit too much time on there hands to be worrying about how SEGA doesn't stand for anything. The question was understood and although not 100% correct the point was made. So as Frankie once sang Relax.

Lol, don't worry about it Mark!  I agree though, many forums I frequent these days seem to be peppered with folk just dying to pounce on simple and trivial mistakes.  Much like the self-appointed grammar-police.  I too thought it was 'SEGA'....guess we're not l337 enough and must be some kind of n00bz that we didn't automatically know that.  Even with the use of the emoticon, the last line in Howard's reply, 'seemed' to be a tad pompous!

1) SEGA is an acronym, you know, since we're being all "technical". http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?p=dict&String=exact&Acronym=SEGA

2) SEGA, the company that makes these games the original poster asked about, is spelled both ways, with all caps and camel-style. http://www.sega.com/home.php

You know, in the interest of keeping our "terminology" straight.

  ... Or like saying DOS sucks because it won't run DirectX games.

  As usual Howard my point eludes you .... this time I'll use pictures.

1) No it's not..... sega stands for nothing as long as were are referring to the Sega games company. Sega used to be called Service Games many many years ago and when they became a real game company instead of an amusement company, they changed their name. Although the name came from

 

  My response was tongue-in-cheek.  Did you even follow the li -- nevermind.

  For anyone else who's interested in Sega's history, check it out here: http://www.sega.com/corporate/corporatehist.php?item=corporate_history

2)Yes, stylized graphics and logos are always completely capitalized, but in pure text it's not. Don't confuse their trademarked logo or online ads with how you type it.

 

  Have you ever worked for a corporate web design company? Holy sh*t are they a pain in the balls about any kind of publication material. Everything follows an internal style-guide.

3) Huh? Where did dos come into this, I never once mentioned dos. But for the record, just because

   Oh, point me to where I said you mentioned DOS in this thread, please.  The mods must have deleted it on me because it's not here as I type this.

  Anyway, I was referring to your long standing universal disdain for people wanting DOS cabs.

  You know, in case you forgot.

  Howard, your post offered nothing other than a probable ephemeral contribution to your ego.

Christ on a Bike, Howard!  Mark asked a question. That's it. - It's not like he was intentionally committing some mass sacrilegious act, against the name of 'Sega/SEGA' (delete as appropriate). I guess we all need to be in eternal reverence at your boundless knowledge and pay sufficient homage in acknowledgemnt of your 4000+ posts. We're not worthy and all that bollocks!

And your comments about using 'smaller words', makes you sound like you could well have an affliction of 'Holier than thou' syndrome.

Either that, or you just like winding folk up the wrong way...yeah that's it isn't it?

3)  Huh?  Where did dos come into this, I never once mentioned dos.  But for the record, just because there are a ton of great classic dos games, doesn't mean that dos doesn't suck.  I mean there are a ton of great games that run on Windows Me! but it still sucks.     That's what the dosbox emulator was invented for.  You can play all those great dos games without the annoying hassle of actually running dos.

You guys missed the point.  I was pointing out how selfish the original poster sounded, by nitpicking.  I wasn't nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.

The way things were typed we had to assume that the wealth of work put into getting every possible Sega system emulated meant nothing since his handful of recently released games weren't emulated yet. 

And besides that, the question didn't have to be answered.....  a link to system16.com would have been the proper thing to do.

As usual guys my point eludes you .... next time I'll use smaller words.   

That's DOS. It stands for Disk Operating System.
