Virtua Racing not racing!

[Grumbleduke]

Ok...anyone shed any light on this:


PAL MD1/MCD/32X
PAL copy of Virtua Racing but NOT the 32X version...rather the MD version with the SVP chip inside.

Thing is it does not work. As i have a MD1 and had too butcher the RGB scart to hook it up to the 32X(some of its leads were missing when i bought it),i can plug it straight into the MD and can hear it through the headphone socket so i know it runs 'direct'.But plugged through 32X...nothing at all.So im wondering if its my copy of the game or is the cart not 32X compatable?

Bump..so some europeans can see it.

I never owned or played anything on a 32X, so unfortunately I can't help you. Just wait for Tik to see this, I'm sure he knows. MD stuff is right up his alley

Sorry Grum - never managed to get hold of a 32x, so didn't know you could even run MD games with it in place.

Thanks for the flowers kaiser....

To adress your problem grumble afaik Virtua Racing doesn't work on a Mega Drive/Genesis equipped with a 32X(I think it has sth to do with SVP chip inside the cartridge)... Just unplug the 32X and play it on your Mega Drive without it....

If you wanna do the real thing although I recommend buying the 32X version Virtua Racing Deluxe.... It's almost arcade perfect....

Ok..thanks guys,better start looking for 32X Virtua Racing then

anyone know if the 32x or saturn version is better?

[Grumbleduke]

I have the Saturn version and thats pretty good but i have heard the 32X is less detailed but more accurate to the arcade version. Have not seen it first hand though.

I had the opportunity to buy a Virtua Racer arcade twin sit down cabinet in perfect condition for $250 but the wife wouldn't let me .... being 8 x 10 feet wide had something to do with it

for $250?? i'd have considered moving the wife to the shed for that money!!!
