1 For MAME this needs a CHD or something?

2 What is better? mouse or usb/ps2 controller?

[classicgamevideos]

@danylopez123 1. Yes. You need the CHD file. 2. USB/ ps2 controller is the way to go. PS2 controllers are superior.

im having a lot of troubles with the controllers wich is the best config for them?

[classicgamevideos]

I use a usb/ps2 controller

square = gas

X = brakes (which I never use)

The shoulder buttons could be configured to gears if you like to use manual.

Analog is a must but the sensitivity must be adjusted! using the digital pad will result in a complete fail. I leave camera controls and radio to the keyboard. I hope that helps. feel free to ask any more questions.

[karadanianoI]

and where do you configure the sensibility, cause tu turn left/right i have to hold the bottons like 4 seconds

thx very much for answering

[classicgamevideos]

When you press tab, there should be an option for "ANALOG CONTROLS". Select that and In there you should find "paddle sensitivity" raise it up or down depending on your needs. Or if you dont have any analog and your using a standard digital pad, you can adjust "digital speed". Trial & error. It took me a while to get it to how I wanted it.

For those that feel game runs bad framerate on PC: Please, try to lower your own monitor resolution near to game`s own, and it should run faster...

Does anyone have the soundtrack @ 2:33

santa cruz was the only track i really liked cause of the roller coaster image at the end and i loved the music for that track

The best arcade racing game ever!! This game reminds me of all my childhood.

While my fav tracks are Central Valley and Santa Cruz, the best BGM of all is the one that plays in Los Angeles.
