Instruction to make MAME racing games less twitchy with an xbox controller (originally for Dirt Dash, works with every game, just tweak Output Scale accordingly):
>>9761554

[Anonymous No.9794229]

>>9794224
After tweaking this I found that keeping the linearity and deadzone at 0 and output scale at 100 is more effective without sacrificing turning radius.

[Anonymous No.9794239]

>>9794229
Depends on a game. Ridge Racer with 100% output scale is easy mode since you don't have to drift anymore and the car turns on a dime. Dirt Dash becomes unplayable with permanent skidding unless you push your stick just a couple of mllimeters to turn but it's not easy. Both feel bad and twitchy.
Quadratic output, as opposed to linear, allows easier small adjustments with small stick motions and it's what developers use when implementing stick controls in modern racing games. Limiting output scale is necessary if you don't want to compress the whole 180/270/360 (or whatever a specific game uses) degrees of wheel motion into 90 degrees of stick motion.

[Anonymous No.9794256]

>>9794239
You really can't make crucial turns on Ace Driver Victory lap with anything less than 70% output, and that's pushing it for a punishing game like that one. Dirt Dash also has some turns that need more than 50%. The stick interpolation also depends on playstyle, as a linear input will allow for the slightest changes to be registered, while a quadratic curve might not offer enough at the near zero point.

[Anonymous No.9794267]

>>9794256
As I said, adjust accordingly. I have tested 50% scale in Dirt Dash and every single corner, including that one hairpin, is perfectly fine. For Ace Driver and Ridge Racer it's 70-80% indeed, not arguing that.
Regarding the interpolation, with linear, small adjustments at near zero point may feel too twitchy.
Anyway, let's consider that instruction as a way to make adjustments according to one's taste. It may be expanded with notes about what setting affects what exactly and different numbers that fit different games.

Weren't arcade wheels just ok anyway? many games don't even use ffb and rely on springs.

[Anonymous No.9794726]

>>9794710
Many arcade games use ffb though. Daytona, Sega Rally, even Out Run and Cruis'n games. IIRC Out Run holds a Guinness record for being the first videogame with ffb. First two Ridge Racer games don't use ffb but Rave Racer and Dirt Dash do.

[Anonymous No.9794742]

>>9794726
From what I've noticed some games like Daytona seem combine ffb with a center spring, Model 2 emu's ffb felt weaker in comparison. Also some other games like Dirt Dash (prolly the original Outrun too) have ffb in the regular version, but the deluxe motion cab doesn't have ffb.

[Anonymous No.9794959]

>Dirt Dash (prolly the original Outrun too) have ffb in the regular version, but the deluxe motion cab doesn't have ffb.
That's interesting. I never had a chance to try deluxe cab, only standard sitdown verison, but test mode has separate settings for both ffb and cabinet motion so the game should support both at the same time. Maybe deluxe cabs didn't have ffb hardware installed from factory idk.

[Anonymous No.9794980]

>>9794427
>V-Rally Championship

That looks really neat.

I feel like I spoiled myself by playing Rad Racer and Top Gear series first. Everything else I try from the era feels inferior. Even the Megadrive version of Top Gear 2 is worse than the SNES. Currently trying the Lotus games on Megadrive and they're okay, I guess.

[Anonymous No.9794985]

>>9794959
yeah that's what I felt at least, in the jungle section for example you feel constant bumps in the motion cabinet, but pretty much no feedback from the wheel. In the standard version I got that feedback from the wheel.

[Anonymous No.9795094]

>>9794980
I find Top Gear games underwhelming because they are choppy and roadside objects are very basic compared to real superscaler games - arcade Out Run and Chase H.Q.
Lotus games are better in this regard, especially Amiga versions. Or try Lotus 3 on DOSBox, it is easier to setup and has good framerate.

Any GT1 players here? Post your setups. I am just learning car tuning in this game and this '95 Impreza corners pretty good and wins GT World Cup, Japan-USA, Japan-UK, Valley 300 and Special Stage 11 endurance events easily. Hardest AI opponent is Impreza Rally Edition which is more powerful by whole 200 HPs but it still gets beaten at 2nd or 3rd lap.

[Anonymous No.9795416]

Also, I managed to beat GT World Cup with this tuned FC. Despite power to weight ratio being similar to the Impreza above it's a way shittier car and winning the cup was hard af. On long straights it gets outpaced by Skylines, Supras and GTOs so I shamefully had to resort to watching the mirror and blocking anyone trying to overtake. Thankfully I was a bit faster in corners.

[Anonymous No.9795418]

>>9795403
I've never tried tuning in 1 in particular but that's way too much camber up front.
What's up with the heavy front brake bias? Too much oversteer? I can't imagine it working too well with 5.0 degs of camber on the same wheels. How did you set the diffs?

[Anonymous No.9795443]

>>9795418
Front camber improves cornering stability and heavy front brake bias is to avoid unnecessary sliding, Cars in GT1 tend to slide with default settings and I've tried to avoid this. There's no diffs settings in GT1 at all. The cars behave as if they have locked differential, hence why GT1 is essentially a kansei dorifto simulator, not an actual racing sim.

>There's no diffs settings in GT1 at all.
Noticed the same in GP2. Curious that not many early sim games implemented it, it's crucial to handling.
Are you sure 5.0 degs are necessary? Especially with the rest of the suspensions being set that soft, 2.x something or 3 at most would suffice. I have no idea if 1 simulates it correctly but you lose out on longitudinal grip by going too heavy on the camber

[Anonymous No.9795462]

I've got a PS1 with a chip and SNES with a flash cart setup. I'm still trying to clear all the cups in F-Zero Final romhack for the SNES before I start worrying about time trials, but on the PS1 I'm a little lost on where to begin since there are so many fun looking racing games on it. I'm open to suggestions, but not looking for kart racers at the moment.

[Anonymous No.9795463]

>>9795403
Most of the time I just stiffen the car around 80%, lower the ride height and play around rear/front values and downforce for handling.
>>9795418
~66% front bias is fairly standard i'd say, you always want at least 60%
>>9795443
>Cars in GT1 tend to slide with default settings and I've tried to avoid this.
Did you try the racing Chaser they give you in one of the tourneys?, lots of understeer so I had to stiffen the rear a lot.

>~66% front bias is fairly standard i'd say, you always want at least 60%
Normally yes, but is 15/7 in GT1-2 the same as 66% percent in a regular sim? iirc 15 is the max, 7 is what the brakes are set at stock (in 2 at least). Does that mean 15 = 200% brake strength up front and 7 = 100% rear?
I've never understood how those two handle brake bias in general to be honest.
I usually go for 58-59% and dial the entry oversteer in via the diff

[Anonymous No.9795504]

>>9795462
Depends on what racing game style you prefer. I love Ridge Racer games but they feel so different from everything else that if you didn't grow up with them then they're either repulse you with their weird physics or become an acquired taste.
For default Sega style arcade racing feel, where driving is simple but still roughly feels like actual driving, Need for Speed 3 and Gran Turismo 1 are fine.
If you're more into bumping cars, then Destruction Derby 2 is great. But it has no manual transmission, if that matters.
If you want the best drifting simulator among 5th gen consoles then it's Touge Max G. There are also two straight up Sega Rally clones named Rally de Africa and Rally de Europe. They're fun but look rough and low budget.

Thanks, these are a good starting point for me. Rally-style games are something I believe I'll be capable of figuring out one day, so I'll take a look at these. I keep putting off Ridge Racer so I'll give it a try this time around. For future reference, I have a high tolerance for varying levels of quality and polish on the PS1 because I've discovered games that look like they suck but just need some time to appreciate. Heck, there was one racing game called Racing that was straight up low budget jank but I still enjoyed it, so there's that to go back to.

[Anonymous No.9795539]

No real reason to post this other than I can. I've been fucking around with my shiny new gpu to see how AV1 recording works when mangled into webm and my first stop was some classic NFS because this track in particular (which is modded to have a look somewhat like the PS1 version) usually looks like utter shit under the older recordings i've done due to the motion and darkness. Pretty happy with the results so when I get a chance at the weekend I think i'll make a bunch more classic NFS recordings doing hot laps or something.

Note the slight flickering at the bottom fo the screen is from the game - there is some sort of sorting fighting going on with the projected headlights that I don't know how to fix because I only go fast, not brain good.

i don't remember front lock-ups being a thing in the first game so you prolly can get away with higher values for more stopping power, the rear break is the twitchy one.

[Anonymous No.9797346]

>>9797341
Rotational velocidensity affects all audio files encoded with lossy compression. These include mp3, aac, and ogg.

The most notable effect of rotational velocidensity is the loss of bitrate in files. A lossy audio file will lose an average of 12kbps a year. But, this can vary greatly depending on the type of storage media used.

Examples:

SATA HDD: ~12kbps
IDE HDD: ~15kbps
SCSI HDD: ~7kbps
DVD: ~16kbps
CD-R/RW: >21kbps

This can be overcome by compressing audio using lossless formats such as FLAC, APE, or TTA. These formats are designed to never lose quality over time, and will sound the same right now as they will in 10 years.

I'm gonna talk about 2 as that's the one I'm most familiar with. The major difference between all 3 is the OST and of course the framerate. At one point NTSC-J was the only version with a 60FPS cheat, but now it's available for every version so it doesn't really matter anymore. PAL runs at 25/50, it's correctly sped up excluding some you-have-to-look-for-them physics glitches and the OST is mostly horribly crunched up EDM. J and U run at 30/60, J has a jazzy original OST made for the game, U uses licensed alt-rock.
In short choose the one with the OST you like the most. I'd wager most posters here can navigate the menus even if they're written in moonrunes, and the NTSC-J OST makes it worth it imo.

For GT1, NTSC-J version represents the original, cohesive vision of a JDM themed game.
NTSC-U version setting makes little sense if you think about it - you have Acura branded cars sold in one dealership and Skylines in another one nearby which never happened anywhere irl. Also the roads still have some japanese markings and signs. If you don't care about this details then NTSC-U version has new music, new chase camera and broken physics in arcade mode.
For GT2 it all boils down to which version has preferrable music and less critical bugs in your opinion. Essentially they are the same.
PAL is cancer, as usual.

[Anonymous No.9799218]

>>9799031
For 2, you want the recent-ish(?) modded isos that have restored cut content, fixed vehicle names and some other fixes.
There are also fan-made patches that give true widescreen, optimize physics for 60fps, unlock new camera angles, convert game to metric units etc. Some are less interesting than others but widescreen and 60fps physics are a must, it brings the game to a state where it feels and looks like a proto-GT3.

Its "comfy", sure, and pretty, but most of the time the actual racing feels like a chore that you just have to force through in order to see what the prize car is.

1 and 2 actually feel fun to drive.

I feel 2 is pretty much the same but lazier than 4, because you can use pretty much any car for the special events, 4 have stricter requisites for the tourneys. In terms of pure driving I'd say 3 is the best, 4 isn't bad when you get used to the "delayed" weight-transfer physics.

They're going to teach you everything you need. Remember that you only need gold if you want to win the prize car connected to the license, if you just want the license bronze is enough.
You unlock the superlicense tests after you've completed every other license, it sits on a different menu. They involve single lap blasts around a track in racecars. If you gold those you get the GT-ONE

GT1 has more fun but a little less realistic physics. It's more open with upgrades, like I've installed a level 3 turbo on a '95 Impreza in a post above while GT2 only allows a level 2 turbo on this car. Every car can have a pro racing upgrade with livery and customizable spoilers while in GT2 many cars don't have an option of such upgrade.
Additionally GT1 has skippable qualification rounds and Special Stage Route 11 track which is one of the best tracks in the series but is missing in GT2.

gta san andreas and burnout paradise should complete the top 3 road rash games list then? i mean, both feature illegal motorbike racing. as road rash 3d shows, working fighting mechanic isn't essential for a road rash game. you can easily complete the game not just without ever hitting anyone but even without seeing yourself get hit. you need to get out of your way to see some janky melee action.

you really should try road rash jailbreak. it's basically the same game as 3d (with all new content) but they had time to make fighting actually work. it's improved in all the other aspects too. all these little things however result in ascending from the worst game in the series to the best one.

Everyone cries about understeer which in my opinion is just an issue with the steering assist always turning too far in that game and 5, but the real problem with GT4 is the absolutely retarded wheelspin behaviour which also ruins Tourist Trophy. Cars don't slide and oversteer, they just practically completely stop accelerating forwards as soon as the wheel speed goes over the car speed. Even in ice races you need to absolutely crank the thing into the corner on entry to get any rotation because you can't do it on power.

oh. sounds like they tuned it for the pressure-sensitive d-pad. which should be superior control to a stick in general exactly because it allows steering assist to be tuned like this, e.g. allowing turning more than it suggests when you want, as default pressure of your finger isn't the strongest, unlike when using a stick where it's much harder to tilt it not fully. i haven't really tried gt4 but now i have to investigate this, thank you so much anon.

It is from one of the many interviews whatshisface Kazunori gave. essential (as was common at the time) he made GT1 for japan and the western arm of sony said "shit be too slow - fine for jap autism but no good for burgers" so they increaeed game speed to to more like an action game for americans and used this as the basis for the PAL release as well. When GT2 sold a bajillion copies and polyphony (under kaz) got the political clout to do as they see fit GT3 was made to the original vision.

I'm probably retarded, but I tried the 60 FPS cheat for GT1 and it made the gameplay feel much slower. Do I need to adjust settings in DuckStation to get it work properly?

[Anonymous No.9807214]

>>9807202
I like this kind of game but I disagree, the feel of speed is better with behind the car camera. Also many top down racers have such low FOV to the point that you have to react before turns are on screen. This is pretty bad in the RC Pro Am series because in many cases the scrolling happens when the car is like 75% into the screen which really baffles me.

I still intend to "beat" both RC Pro Am (they don't have an ending but at least making it far) and Micro Machines on NES. Micro Machines's reverse rubberband AI (the AI drives faster when you're behind and slower when you're in front) is very punishing.

[Anonymous No.9807264]

>>9807214
Try Pro Am 2 too, it's great.
Regarding feel of speed I agree, but those games lack the feel of driving a wheeled vehicle on the road. The car just tilts left and right instead of actually turning and it's the road that turns instead as if it's flexible.
Unironically, pic related managed to nail the driving feel better than many actual racing games.

i agree that not seeing shit is a problem, that's why slower games tend to be better, also not a case for single screen games. i enjoy pole position style games (we really need to have a term for this) aesthetically but their gameplay is just bad.
now, mode 7 seems like a solution, if anyone can suggest some games that use it and are better mechanically i want to know. from what i've tried none of more grounded car games felt close to f-zero in this quality. maybe because they tend to use highly disorienting rotating car spritesheet, it is ok in 3d games but not here. i feel like 1st person perspective would work.
super drift out is top-down and mode 7 allows to keep the car at the opposite size of where you going (up) seamlessly, which helps greatly.

He literally put the "you can't overtake in Monaco" meme to death in '81. Mansell's duel with Prost was also crazy. Risking life and limb between a car and a guardrail with people immediately behind it was sick. Even when you can't overtake it can easily become a race of lap times.

For 1987 it's quite a amazing, there are TONS of tracks, tons of content, you earn prize money and buy upgrades and even new cars. But the road effects aren't very good, the turns are especially shitty. Top Gear has much better road effect and driving as a whole.
Also the other main issue with the game is that grinding is required to buy upgrades.

And I don't know if I suck or if these games are hard or both, but they keep filtering me. Ninja Gaiden? Castlevania? Street Fighter 2010? Pff, those are nothing. Taito Grand Prix, Formula 1 Built to Win, or even just Final Lap; now those are difficult NES games.

These games make it almost impossible to become good at unless you memorize the track. The corners often appear very quick with very little time to react, unlike 3d racing games where you see the corners from far away and the challenge comes from car handling instead.

[Anonymous No.9820790]

>>9820779
That; plus the car handles differently depending on the type of turns, or its length. But, in games that weren't well made like Taito Grand Prix and Formula 1 Built To Win, it's often impossible to tell the different type of turns apart, sometimes a turn will do nothing to you car, then the next turn that looks exactly the same makes the car behave differently.

I can live with the adversary cars trying to block you parth, but in the late game the goddamn traffic doing everything it can to crash into you on top of that is way too much; when a single mistake is all it takes to lose. Not to mention the adversary cars just go THROUGH the traffic like it's not there. I was enjoying this game up until the F1 segment at the end but now this is too much

It pains me so much that there are no good retro racing games about glory days of 70s and 80s racing: Group 5, Group 6, Group C, Can Am, etc. These cars only appear in modern sims.

I've been messing around with TXR0, TXR3, and (not VR) Street Supremacy. It's disappointing that only TXR0 lets you go faster than 230 mph, even if TXR3 is more polished and has a bigger variety of cars (if you don't care about Hondas).

Was there any appreciable difference between the teams in this game? All I remember is that each team had different progress, so swapping between teams was inefficient.

Went back to Taito Grand Prix (Famicom) and managed to beat it and get the bitch. Reason why I was struggling so much is that I wasn't using the right vehicule parts.

The thing is there is very little info about this game online, not even a longplay, and strategywiki is giving wrong info. It says you go slower when using the Automatic transmission upgrade except you actually go 20km/h faster with it. That and there are two types of end game turbos of the same price, one being better than the other.
So I was going at 400 km/h rather than 440, which is why it was impossible.

So I managed to finish the Outrun style courses (minus 1, the hardest one, which you don't have to beat) and then the end game F1 challenge was really easy in comparison. And funnily enough the F1 only goes up to 395 km/h.

Now, I am really not sure if I want to subject myself to finishing Formlua One - Built to Win as well (the copy cat of this game on NES) since the other cars during the F1 races are so scummy in that one

[Anonymous No.9823640]

Okay well, it's DONE. Don't care if the 2nd has as many points as I do it still counts as far as the game is concerned; I didn't even win a single point in the last 3 courses but got lucky.

Fuck this game, and specifically, fuck the ending F1 races in this game. At first this game seems like a better version of Taito Grand Prix (which it's obviously ripping off) but in the end it's just a worse version, the turns and driving feel are pretty bad in comparison and the AI is scummy as hell in the end game

Try xinput plus

[Anonymous No.9824342]

>>9824331
I would wager it is because the game only accepts DInput and the move to XInput changed how triggers are read. What I would look into is using some mapping software that can output DInput. My software of choice (because it isn't global and thus can be tuned per game) is XInput plus. https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2265-xinput-plus-v415290/

One racing game I enjoyed the crap outta and never see mentioned EVER is Rallisport Challenge 2 on the OG xbox. holy shit that had some of the best tracks to race. the snow in the mountains and thru the cabin towns and the races up into the hills. it really had some amazing tracks and some fun cars to tear around with. But sadly the series was left for dead and no games have come out since and its not supported on current systems. If you ever get a chance to sit and put some serious time into it (10+ hrs to unlock shit) you'll find a great rally racing game with good damage physics and some damn good tracks. I miss the game alot. anyone else remember it or play it? I feel like I was one of the only people that did since its never mentioned anywhere.

Speedster is another forgotten game that is pretty good. The tracks are pretty well designed but I always found the vehicles to be a bit heavy on the handling. The bonus track is a bit of a wild ride compared to the regular ones.

I don't know what happened with Moto Racer 2 because MR1 was super smooth and ran almost at 60 fps while MR2 framerate fell under 30 quite often. But at least it had quite amusing punk rock music. Basically the devs couldn't afford to hire a professional composer at the time so one dude from the team asked his garage band to do it.
