Both dates are actually wrong, thanks for noticing. Loaded is from June and Virtua Racing is Aug 30, not Oct. Thanks for noticing.

Winning Post is a press disc sorta, Sega Rally is a CD-R with '100%' written on it.

As of 7z, I've been using RAR for a while now and always wanted to switch something. 7z seems to be the best alternative. I don't want to use RAR any more as it's not really a free format. I'd rather not support a shareware format that they can pull support for whenever they want and that you need official software to compress files with.

 

Thanks A LOT DRX! You always come through!

Yes. On decent mounting programs you can just mount the track. If not, you can create a simple one-track cue.

 

Thanks for your generous contributions drx.

 

Thanks as always for these!

It made me chuckle that you're worried about not being able to legitimately use a piece of software without paying for it to compress copied games hehe. Is this the real pirate code?

Very nice, shame I haven't got much time to check them out at the moment.

Thanks for your generous contributions drx! Nice addition to any Saturn fans collection!

 

Can anyone get MK3 to work? I've been trying it with the SSF emulator (both ver 0.09 and 0.1) and I get a garbled screen on one and a black screen on the other.

Primal rage works fine on both however.

Thank you very much for sharing

 

That still makes it after the US retail release.

Time Warner's Virtua Racing - T-4801H-50 - ??? 1995 EU
VR Virtua Racing - T-4801H - June 1st 1995 - US
Virtua Racing Sega Saturn - T-4803G - December 22nd 1995 - JP

Maybe it's a Proto of the Japanese version but even then that's just the US version on a Japanese printed disc. The disc will even run in a US Saturn and PAL Saturn due to it being region free. The PAL Virtua Racing is also region free.

Oh right. When you guys were talking about retail dates I thought you were actually talking about the street date, you know, the date it hits the stores.

 

thanks! I love protos and pirates !
