Sega Crazy Taxi Cabinet Friendly PC game
« on: August 20, 2008, 02:31:08 am »
 :applaud:
 Crazy Taxi the PC version is an awesomely cabinet friendly PC game. I got the idea when my son and I went to California Extreme '08. They had a Sega Crazy taxi arcade cabinet that I spent a lot of time playing because it was extremely fun.



 Because I couldn't find the emulated version I tried the PC version because it has the actual arcade game as an option. I run it using the Maximus Arcade batch file option. You can set it up to use keyboard buttons or a gamepad. Anyway give it a shot. It is a lot of fun.



I also have the PC version of Star Wars Episode I Racer on my cabinet for the same reason.

I played Crazy taxi at the movie theater a few times.  Fun stuff.  It was the reason I got a dreamcast.  I agree that episode racer is fun.

Hi,

I love crazy taxi too, I used to play it a lot on my dreamcast.

But the PC version doesn't provide the true arcade or true DC feeling for 2reasons :

- The animations are not smooth (even by forcing vsync on thenvidia driver)
- The offspring songs are not the same and less fun.

Although, I'll put it on my mame cab when it will bel done. (And Virtua Tennis 3)

Yeah but the DC emulation is not really 100% accurate till now, and second, I think Crazy Taxi iso image dumped by kalisto team is a .bin and .cue, and null DC only support .cdi images as I remember, isn't it ?

 I've tried Crazy Taxi on the Demul emulator and it is playable but the game runs at too low of a resolution for my taste. Other then the resolution it is a very nice port. I have a 6300 nvidia geforce card on my cabinet and I can run the PC version at full graphic capability. I just wish the actual arcade game was emulated. Well maybe one day. :blah:

Just dusted off my copy and gave it a go - works well with keys.  May not be perfect (pc version) but all-in-all still a good addition to any mame arcade machine and runs pretty well on a decent graphics card as previously stated.
