About This File


UPDATE: Added cheats to the table below. Another huge thanks to @Joejoe for providing these.
UPDATE 2: Fixed ManxTT lack of engine sound and Danger Screen at startup. Dynamite Deka 2 Added.

UPDATE 3: Using new LUA scripts that include cheats, a scanline option and more refined widescreen scripting. Added DINPUT control configuration using a PS4 controller. More fixes in change log. You can use F5 to toggle between 16:9 and 4:3 when using widescreen scripts.

UPDATE 4: Quite a Big One

  • A whole bunch of inputs moved for better play. Gears are on the face buttons now, fighters have had some inputs moved. Images updated of course.
  • All of the other Daytona USA versions/hacks have been added. 
  • ManxTT fixed properly properly. I promise. Changed the rom to the twin version 'manxttc' and set to twin in test menu. No more stupid error every time you turn, which caused a Japanese voiced error audio sample to be played...every time you turned. Very annoying....but it's gone now.
  • ManxTT and Over Rev should now track straight when not holding the stick. This was an error on my part. Now fixed.
  • Full Fat 1440x1080 60FPS 30s Videos have been added. Freshly made by me, clean high quality videos.
  • Clear Logos & Flyer Fronts. I made the other Daytona clear logos up to match the normal one, came out nice actually. Also made up some flyers for some of the Daytona hacks and Sega Rally. Every game has a bespoke clear logo & flyer. No doubles.
  • Custom Platform XML provided. In the description of every game will be my emulation notes for that game & any cheats. Genres/categories/no. of players had been adjusted so auto playlists with catch them correctly.
  • DINPUT better configured. I'm not gonna lie, after looking at what I had previously done I was disgusted. This is now configured just as good as the xinput version.


So you know the drill with these releases. The intention is to take these awkward to set up emulators, and make them as plug and play as possible for those using a PC, controller, mouse and light guns.

Here is the follow up to the Supermodel project I completed a little while ago. The Model 2 setup was far more forgiving and didn't make me want to trash my computer. That's not to say there aren't some interesting and awkward things going on that needed some attention, however these were far more easy to fix. 

As per usual many hours have been put into this project with much testing and in the case of getting 2 Player Mouse support, a lot of calibrating. 

This has only been configured for the parent rom versions only. 1G1R

Instructions - Super Simples
-Download Model 2 Emulator
-Use MERGED ROMS. imma say it again MERGED ROMS.
-Download Pre Config File Folders On This Page (Make sure you select your correct input type)
-Place in Model 2 folder and replace any files.
-Widescreen scripts are being used as default. If you only want 4:3, replace the scrips with the 4:3 ones provided in Scripts Folder.
-DONE!!!!!



What this configuration will give you:

2 Player Mouse Support for Light Gun Games - Resolution Specific 1920x1080 - If You Change Resolution It Will Be Inaccurate
I cant tell you how awkward and difficult it was to get this to work. Due to RawInput being a must for 2 mice, the calibration doesn't scale into different resolutions. This means you can't calibrate it using the auto calibration (shooting targets) in its test menu, as it'll be inaccurate no matter how perfectly you shoot those calibration targets. You can't even calibrate at native resolution to make it 1 to 1 and then increase the resolution. Thankfully Virtua Cop 1 & 2 both have a manual adjustment feature meaning I could off set the adjustment to get PERFECT pin point accuracy. Behind Enemy Lines was awkward but not impossible to get accurate, as it doesn't display where your actual in game cursor position is on screen. Only X and Y coordinates are displayed, which was just enough info to get it accurate. Gunblade on the other hand gives you absolutely no on screen info at all when calibrating, it's as accurate as I can get it.

What is really weird is that some of these games are accurate out the box with RawInput off, but needed recalibrating when I enabled RawInput. But now if you turn off RawInput it is still accurate after calibrating for RawInput. That's great as switching between the two is seamless and retains accuracy. Best of both worlds, as having RawInput off for single player gives you more mouse sensitivity. 

No Screen Flash for Virtua Cop 1 & 2 and House of the Dead
LUA scripts are included as standard to remove the screen flash that would happen every time you pull the trigger. 
All the other Light Gun Games don't have screen flash by design so all of these shooters do not flash.

Controls Configured with Images for Every Game
All controls have been pre configured for both players. I have also made images for the layout of every game. Controls were tested the most. I found some strange/broken controls that needed some thought. Sky Target has a broken up and down analogue input, however simply mapping this as a digital input to the left stick up and down is a perfect workaround. Desert Tank benefits from no analogue inputs also, I have got it to control exactly like the vehicles in Halo which is neat. Aside from that there are various racing games that have inverted pedals that needed the Invert option checked in the control calibration options.

All Games In English - All Games Free Play
This speaks for itself. All test menus adjusted to let these games play in English and in Free Play mode.

Test Menu Fixes and Unlocked Hidden Game Modes
Network Board Not Present.....Done. Unlocking all game modes in Virtua Striker....Done. Calibrating analogue inputs in 'Volume Adjustment' (Yeah I thought it was to do with audio too) so controls are correct and use the entire travel of the analogue range so racing games aren't twitchy....Done. A whole bunch of tweaks from CRT modes giving better brightness to extending game times among a shed load of other crap that enhances the experience in some way.....Done.

Optional 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen LUA Scripts
Put these in the scripts folder and boom...proper widescreen no stretching. These work way way way way better than the temperamental widescreen option in the EMULATOR.INI file, which only works half the time depending on how your graphics are scaling etc etc etc etc. Just use the LUA scripts instead for better results and no headaches, I command it.
I love this feature, House of the Dead and Gunblade even allow you to shoot into the 16:9 space.

Play as a Surfer:
Press the Left Select button three times, Right select button three times, and then the Left Select button thirteen times.

Hidden Track:
First chose Advanced Level (doesn't matter which character). Then, right before the board is unlocked, move the board up. Then when the game starts going, miss the first jump on purpose and crash right into the fence on the left side of the church. If you do it right you'll find yourself in the hidden track.

Play as Body Boarder:
At the course select screen press and hold down the start button. Then at the character select screen press the Right select button six times, the Left select button six times, Right three time, Left three times, Right four times, and the finally let go of the Start button.

Super Deformed Mode:
At the stage select screen, press the Left select button nine times, the Right select button nine times, the Left select button four times, the Right select button four times, and the Left select button five times. Now lean the board forward and press the Left and Right select buttons simultaneously three times.

Response from the author:

Yeah, I'm gonna update this and include a lil config for Virtual On. Had other stuff to do man. I do appreciate the help, thanks for the 3 star review mate. Thought we were friends man lol

Fatastic work 👍 and Thank You!

can the Sega Rally LUA be "tweaked" so that the "Practice" mode car selections line up in inside the boxes? 

The cars appear correctly in "Championship" mode but are outside the boxes (offscreen) in practice mode.

Perhaps the "Practice" car select screen is at a different memory state location than the "Championship" screen and needs adding to the LUA function? 

or this could just be a game/emulator limitation?

All the best

UPDATE: FIXED!

I had a play around and fixed it by amending the script. The State2==5 was not needed. Thanks

Just like the Sega Model 3 Pack, this one does not disappoint. The included lua scripts do overwrite the demulshooter crosshair scripts but the improved accuracy is a welcome addition. There is very little left to tweak with these, thanks again for all the hard work. 👍

I respect the labour of love. No-Flash LUA scripts worked for Virtua Cop/2 and HotD.
