Ace's Gaming Session - Indy 500 for the Sega Model 2B arcade hardware

It's Indy 500 weekend down in Indianapolis, so for the occasion, here's a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Sega's Indy 500 game.

Emulated in ElSemi's Model 2 Emulator version 0.9 and recorded using FRAPS.

Oh shit i forgot about this game! Was this ever released on a home console? I'd like to get it if it was!

[Ace9921]

@TheUnbiasedGamer - Sadly, Indy 500 never got a home port. The only way to play this game is to emulate it in ElSemi's Model 2 Emulator. However, the emulation isn't perfect. Either that, or the ROM that's been dumped is slightly different from the one I've seen in all Indy 500 cabinets I've played. Some things are different on the cabinets I've played, such as the rolling start, which starts further back and with your car in 6th gear. Also, the name entry screen is introduced differently.

Where did you get the rom? In my version the car is red/blue

You can alter your car's paint job by doing this:

-Press F2 to enter the Test Menu

-Go to "Game Assignments" by pressing F1 until the cursor reaches there, then press F2

-Change your car's color/number by changing "Cabinet ID" to any value between 1(default) and 8(I set mine to 2). Use F1 to move the cursor and press F2 to change the ID of your "machine"

The precursor to Daytona USA. Man, Sega had such vision back then.

Well, The original Arcade version has a steering wheel that is near what a Logitech G25 or G27 is capable. That wheel is comfortable and a little more sensitive and with quick response than a lot of cheaper wheels for US$ 70,00 in stores.

[Albino2005]

@eriklima2 But what about the arcade vesion? With the wheel I could never make it.

It's not impossible. Just use a good joystick, like a Playstation 2 clone with analog sticks configuration and you're done.
