Are you sure the game doesn't work? It does on my MAME and I own the latest version. It's an amazing game!

@FZEROPOWER what version of mame do you use?

[namco21gamefreak]

@FZEROPOWER Is it possible you can upload video gameplay?

[MoorxCo]

system 21 was definitely amazing for its time! how did you manage to create the nice screenshot of the player car?

[namco21gamefreak]

Just googled drivers eyes

I played Winning Run probably about 20 years ago now. The thing i remember about it most was the low frame rate, it probably ran at about 15fps on a good day. Was it the first 3D arcade racing game?

[namco21gamefreak]

I believe it was, the first 3d arcade game was probably atari's I Robot from 1983 check it out it was awesome!

@Powly1966 Hi there, this game works fine with MAME, just press 9 and F2 while it is loading and the game will start.

High there.

Can I ask where you got the ROMS for this from...I remember selling what i believe was the last Origional Working Drivers Eyes on Ebay and it went to MAME who sadly only wanted the PCBs. The rest of the machine was skipped But it was a truly Awesome Project with Incredible speakers for thunderous roaring engine sounds ala original Taito Invaders Sub bass

Here's a shocker: Since the game uses three monitors, the game requires three board sets -- one for each monitor. It also seems one of the supporting boards has the shifter controls.

That's just what I think. I only use emulators for research purposes.

@namco21gamefreak Sorry but my PC isn't good enough to keep a good framerate while recording. Try to play it using a steering wheel.

@namco21gamefreak can you send me an actual video of the gameplay?

[FZEROPOWER]

@namco21gamefreak I'm using the latest version. You can't control the car because of the wrong preset settings, or because you can only play with analog controls...I'm not sure because I've always used a steering wheel.

it's debut goes for 1990

it all began with winning run in 1987, before being followed by the Suzuka Circuit version in 1989, and the last one in 91. I must tell you the their final version, the cars' colours were from the teams i knew(McLaren, Williams, March, Ligier)
