Rare Taito game found
http://www.gamengai.com/forum/viewtopic ... 003#p28003
Came across this the other day. Vertexer is a really rare racing game on Taito's IDYA motion simulator cab (Galactic Storm was on there too apparently?) and it looks really cool from what I can see in these videos:

Seems to be part of the inspiration for F-Zero X with the way the tracks loop and bank around.

Re: Rare Taito game found
Wow, the presentation for this game is utterly amazing! It's hard to tell because the recording is low quality, but it looks like the graphics may have been pushed a little too hard - it seems like the framerate is crawling a bit. Maybe the hardware requirements are why it was never localized.
I wish I could see a better video.

Looks a little like Speed Racer meets F-Zero. I'd play that

That framerate is atrocious. It barely looks playable.

Does look like a tech demo and yeah, resembles 3D F-Zero. I wonder how Taito put their share of tragedy in it.

It could be the capture device, plus transcoding and uploading to Youtube. I've had 60fps videos end up playing at 15 if I didn't use several workarounds.Udderdude wrote:That framerate is atrocious. It barely looks playable.
Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.
Re: Rare Taito game found
My reaction was that it was probably a problem with the capture (which is also super compressy)Specineff wrote:It could be the capture device, plus transcoding and uploading to Youtube.

Humans, think about what you have done
Re: Rare Taito game found
It's gotta be the camera, the framerate jumps all over the place. Will be cool to see in motion though.
I googled the IDYA cab that used this game and I found a flyer with an LD game listed called Cave Speeder...probably hard to come by but a dump of that would rock.

Re: Rare Taito game found
Looks DAMN nice, and Tamayo's BGM is as always excellent. Hopefully the frame rate issues are indeed the video's fault and not the game's.
I wonder if Saturn could have done this given the right porting team.

Re: Rare Taito game found
Man, I need this. I am a complete and utter sucker for crazy scaling shit like this, and my dick is rock hard.
For some reason, I think I saw something that looked a lot like this before, but not at such a horrible framerate. Might be mixing it up with another game entirely.
and it looks like any time there's any extensive motion at all, the framerate drops, so it might be the encode, not the board running so slow [really, I can't even imagine it getting released in any capacity if it was sub-20fps, let alone what we're seeing in the video, and I'd expect it to be either 30 or full 60 in real life]

Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Found the same videos but much smoother: https://archive.org/details/taito-vertexer-footage

So cool. Looks Night Striker-smooth.

Re: Rare Taito game found
It looks like Power Drift except with way, way more style. I want to play this so much now. Why wasn't there ever a port made?!

I've been wondering about this game ever since hearing the two awesome songs on Zuntata's L'ab Normal 2nd compilation.
What I'm really hype about though, is that Shou has apparently sourced Genkai Chousen Distopia!
Re: Rare Taito game found
Shou makes my dick rock hard
First Distopia, then Vertexer. Is there any board this man can't find?

Indeed. Don't ever doubt his dedication. I know a lot of people in the world are passionate about games, but he dumps rare shit and has never even booted Mame!Shou, definitive king of all things PCB. Distopia - I can't believe.

Re: Rare Taito game found
That archive.org video definitely looks better.
Sucks that there's only 2 music tracks from it on OSTs though, the rest of the music (attract mode in particular) is really good. Dunno how one would go about ripping it when it's dumped but I'd listen to it all day.

Re: Rare Taito game found
The sound quality is likely not that great. You could always start an online petition to get them to release it on vinyl. Online petitions always work.

Re: Rare Taito game found
What's the reasoning? My understanding is that it's the same Ensoniq hardware they switched to after their YM2610 stuff. Should sound just as good as any F3 game.GaijinPunch wrote:The sound quality is likely not that great.
Sound rip shouldn't be too hard, as long as MAME has a decent emulation of the sound chip (I believe the sound generator is OK and the DSP that goes over that is... not perfectly emulated, but not 100% sure).

Re: Rare Taito game found
Fuck the rom, it would be nice okay, but I want the game with the whole fucking IDYA cab in my flat.
Plus the Japanese engineer to operate it, I don't care, I'll feed him.

So you start off in orbit, race down through the atmosphere, plunge into the ocean, and it just gets crazier from there.
Yeah, that's some awesome stuff.

Re: Rare Taito game found
Me not knowing about hardware. If the chip can handle the sample rate there's no reason it won't sound good. I kind of went back to the 80's when the soundchips weren't quite as dope as later games.trap15 wrote: What's the reasoning?
