32X Playing Virtua Racing

[evildragon]

Wow, this thread took a turn.

Anyways, I'm going to do this mod on my 32X, though I could just run the 32X version of the game most likely.

I've had maaaaany conversations with chilly willy over pm and I can vouch he is nothing but courteous and friendly.

I don't disagree with you. This was just one of those strange, Twilight Zone-caliber exceptions.

... I'm going to do this mod on my 32X...

Try out a pull-down resistor in the 4.7K to 7.5K range if you can.

Yeah, the thread went weird there for a while. And I can be a jerk sometimes just like anyone else. I try to pull back before I go too far.

That sounds good. Too high and the input logic levels won't be right for the chip, but too low will use excessive current.

Best $320 you ever spent?

I'm not sure about your math. I bought Virtua Racing new / clearance for $20. I bought Virtua Racing Deluxe with a coupon for $50. I bought my 32X new for $120, but the cost of that is divided by all of the other 32X games that I bought. Either way, I didn't spend $320 for Virtua Racing Deluxe. I kept Virtua Racing to play on my Nomad.

I'd assume measuring DTACK's current on a stock Genesis will tell me where it needs to be on the 32X.

$320 = the full launch price of Virtua Racing + the full launch price of the 32X + the full launch price of Virtua Racing Deluxe, no discounts. I touched on the divided cost in a previous post. Eighty percent off on Virtua Racing was pretty good, how long did it take for it to get that low?

I got VR-SVP for $5.

I got VR-SVP for $5.

Same here, complete. I just rented it back in the day and then saved my pennies for the 32X.

I got VR-SVP for $5.

Me too. Blockbuster was clearning them out, and it wasn't that long after it was released. It got Nomad duty.

Dang, it looks like I'm the odd man out on this one!

Sort of a necro thread now, but I'd like to ask which pin on the Genesis cart slot is grounded by the PBC to enable Mark 3 mode?

[evildragon]

Pin B30.

[KnightWarrior]

So did you get your 32X modded yet evil??

[Guntz]

Villahed94 did the mod on his 32X. If I had Genesis VR, I might try it, but since I don't, I don't feel like trying out that mod.

[evildragon]

i never did the mod. I have an Everdrive and can just use the 32X version.

[villahed94]

I do have both versions. 32X and Genesis on real carts.
I performed the mod for convenience, because enabling DTACK also enables Game Genie compatability, which is nice.
