Re: Ridge Racer Competition

 I do intend to have a go at this but do not currently have a copy of the original Ridge Racer so have to sort that out first.

Re: Ridge Racer Competition

 I have had about 10 attempts at this but can not get anywhere near 8bitformat's times. 

Because I am a proper Retro Gamer I did the challenge on an actual PS1 using a  Namco NegCon controller.


Unfortunately this meant I had to take a phot of my times with a mobile phone so the picture is a bit rubbish


The laps were both 1:12:something. I did manage a 1:11 lap on one of my goes, but the other lap was 1:15.

Re: Ridge Racer Competition

 Bobbus74, for most of the lap you should be able to get around with the accelerator held and no brakes in use. It is only the bit where you are warned (on the first lap) "this next corner is tricky" or something like that where you need to be careful. Braking early is one method but the optimum is probably to do a powerslide which is a bit tricky.

Other than that I suppose it is just a matter of not hitting the other cars or the sides of the track.

If we can do all the above for 2 laps without error I think that weshould be able to get near 8bitformats times. Easier said than done though.

Re: Ridge Racer Competition

I managed to get this running under emulation on my laptop last night so once i configure it to play with a joypad, i'll be entering the fray with some extremely mediocre times!!
