Sega Rally

[Hurray Banana]

Hi everyone, finally sorted got me Sega Rally setup and monitor sorted which was giving me green bleed problems. Did a little twitch test to see if I could get the webcam rigged up ok for this (I haven't yet)

My voice sounds really loud because the camera is right above my head will need to adjust ingestion levels on microphone next time.

it's here if you're interested, still need a lot of practice

Nice work on this, anything under 3:25 is great! Really like how you do some of the turns on the Forest stage.
I use gear 2 on most of the turns on the Mountain stage, which I find works a lot better than 3rd gear.

Cheers mate, a few corners are still getting me I can do better than this but I'm struggling to tie three good laps together. Still struggling with Lakeside tho' I did do a 1:12 yesterday on that.

 

[Smraedis]

Oh I know some turns are a pain to get right, just got to try things out and see if they work really.
Here's a video I did some time on the PS2 port, getting 3:22:82 http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sz1c2GnIyY I wanted to get 3:20 or less but I'd have to be really lucky to get that low.
Have never really bothered with the Lakeside course as it doesn't affect your scores.

Just managed a 3:23.78 race, still a long way to go

Just watched your vid steven, those enemy cars are placed a lot different on that version and go a lot slower, don't get in your way as much as the real one it would seem. Used to be able to get under 3:23 on the Saturn version. Want to keep practicing.

you are way better than me, I need to practise!

I'd be interested to know what others are capable of on actual hardware. I'm really getting into this, played it to death on the saturn, but not much in arcades. I do find it quite knackering fighting the feedback, but that might be because my drive board isn't working properly

Ahh didn't realize it was AM2EMU. I have that setup too on my rig so Ill do it on there. Nice and easy and warmer for me too!

 

[Smraedis]

I did a 3:22 at play expo and it crashed shortly after and lost the score. Got a pic of it though.
I find the cars behave differently on different settings on the arcade version, they can be a pain.

Martin I'm running actual hardware here, what I mean't was I'd be interested to see other hardware based scores.

Nice, I'm sure I can get down to those sort of times with a lot more practice. If only I wasn't so tired when I get home from work

, find it difficult to concentrate.

Managed another sub 3:24 game today, getting some corners really nice now, some I've still not got a groove for.

3:23.62

Here's the twitch highlight

Yeah, just got to reduce the amount of mistakes per run, and somehow do turns with losing less speed, which is pretty difficult.
Have played the PS2 port a bit more today, getting 3:22 on every run but can't get any lower.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Creeping towards a sub 3:23 now

Currently on 3:23.18

[Smraedis]

Trying out new things and finally got the 3:21. Would like to do it on a cab too

 

[Hurray Banana]

that certainly gives me something to aim at.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Just managed 3:22:55 well pleased as nearly did a sub 1:09 on mountain. really think I can now go sub 3:22

 

[Hurray Banana]

3:22:00 exactly

Had a sloppy Desert but a near sub 1:16 on Forest followed by a low 1:09 on mountain

think I can get under 3:21 now

 

[Smraedis]

Woo! Nice one!
Looking back at my runs, I should be able to do 3:19.9 if everything went as well as possible!
