OR
http://www.racesimcentral.net/ [ search for RV2 ]
USENET users: check alt.binaries.emulators.misc
IRC users: get on a Newnet server (irc.newnet.net)
port: 6667 channel: #emuchina
type: !Viva Rave Racer
in new box type: [dir] then [get RV2.zip] without []
(in Mirc, in the server list "Newnet: Random Server" usually works)
In filemirrors, usenet and irc, you can also find Ridge Racer 1 (works
but incorrect crc resulting in botched but still good grafx) and Ridge
Racer 2
(perfect dump!)
WinXP users: To reach graphics & audio settings: rightclick on
VivaNonno Icon(the exe) click properties, goto compatability tab,
switch to Win80 or Win2000
mode.
Graphics Settings notes: 98% of users cannot get "no texture reduce"
meaning full arcade resolution textures, in Rave Racer. seems only a
few have, and those that did, have 128 MB video cards and 512MB or
more system memory. Expect only 1/2 texture reduce to work. Also,
use "No Wait" in combination with fullscreen [ATL+ENTER] to lock at
60fps on fast machines - turn mipmapping and texture filter OFF, Fake
Interlace ON to more closely approximate arcade. Turning OFF sound
boosts framerate.
Ridge Racer Long track IS selectable without an analog controller or
steering wheel. its just harder to do. you gotta rapidly toggle the
track selection and you'll sometimes get lucky :)
