Always loved Model 2. SEGA's arcade stuff always looked so "video gamey" and I LOVE the aesthetic to this day.

This era was a Very special time in arcade games and 3d graphics. nowdays not come close to the creativity, art and style.

Sega arcade games rock!

It's wild that the last Model 2 game came out the same year as the last Model 3 game: 1999.

I had to double check when i read your comment that i didn't make a mistake, but yes, Pilot Kids came out in 99. I think this hardware had a pretty high learning curve for development, if you had trained devs on the hardware, i can see wanting to continue to develop for it. Pilot Kids is a pretty good game too!

Model 2 was jaw dropping. It was such a leap from 2D gaming. Racers and fighting games still play like this nearly 30 years later only with higher pixel counts, textures etc.

Building a LaunchBox hard drive right now, just doing some Sega Saturn.. Never was too educated on Sega besides the Genesis. Somehow ended up here after seeing HOTD emulated on SM2. This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for... the old games that when emulated on good hardware look brand new and ridiculously amazing in 4K 60+fps. After seeing this I'm jealous, I'm going to have to spend a week learning and configuring this system!!

@@arcadestuff Right, but the console conversions had to compromise on graphics, animations or levels to fit the game into the more limited console hardware specs. Only in the Xbox/PSX generation did consoles get enough muscle for “arcade perfect” Model 2 conversions. Saturn versions of Daytona USA has obvious frame rate and draw distance reductions, VF2 conversion is amazing and runs at high res to boot, but had to switch to using 2D for backgrounds rather than the arcade’s full 3D arenas. Saturn version of Sega Rally and Virtua Cop series are also excellent conversions in terms of how close they came to the Model 2 originals, but even they’ve had to trim some things down to make it all work

I don’t have the answer, but I know what you mean. It’s really just a different style to modern day games and the methods they use to create graphics.

I've thought about this. The main thing is the framerate. It's a constant 60 FPS with zero slowdown. Also, neither the Model 2 nor Model 3 had sophisticated lighting, particle, or atmospheric effects. There were some rudimentary reflections and specular highlights, but that's about it. Shadows are all faked (if you notice, in driving games only the vehicles have shadows, rarely other objects). So while it's not "realistic," the graphics are sharp and colorful (this was also a draw in the arcade). Modern games rely on lighting and particle effects for immersion, but they can cause dips in framerate. Third, native resolution for these games was 640x480, so textures are generally large enough that they're not blurry when scaled up. PSX and N64 used lower-res textures and don't look as good when upscaled.

OST of Sonic Championship seems lit!

Fantastic compilation man... I've left instructions for your subscribers on how to achieve 4k output. Hope some find it useful 😉

I wish they would release all of these on the current gen consoles, i'd buy them all.

Love these series. When Daytona USA came out, it was freaking unbelievable. Sega was years ahead of its time with the Model 2 and Model 3 boards. While a home conversion will never capture the thrill of the deluxe arcade cabinets, I do wish Sega would bring these home to the consoles. I still play VF2 and Daytona on my Xbox and it’s just so exhilarating to have arcade perfect ports to play…they even went above and implemented wide screen mode on those titles, but I would be very happy with ports in the old aspect ratio too. Edit: I bought a Saturn on launch day and had a blast with that console, although Sega rushed its launch and ended up rewriting VF and Daytona. Daytona CE also played literally nothing like the original and was very disappointing. VF Remix at least held the gameplay together. I played so much Sega Rally at home, after a few rounds in the arcade, I could do very well and ended up with high score a number of times. Good stuff!

@@arcadestuff That’s so awesome. Great memories! At the large arcade in our area they had the four player deluxe cabinets of Daytona. Spent many, many quarters there. Never could quite master the expert track in the arcade though. Such a tough one with little room for error. Edit: I would also sit for hours and watch people play, or just watch the attract screens. Sega nailed those darn attract demos!

Out of the entire list, ive only seen and play six of the model 2 games. They were expensive, so most small arcades in my area only owned one or two units at a time.

Hello everyone, here's how to upscale and output in 4k... Right click on M2 emulator, open the 'File Location' Go to 'Configuration Settings', and change these 2 values as shown below: FullScreenWidth=3840 FullScreenHeight=2160 Close and save... Launch M2, click 'Video' on top-bar... 'Full screen resolution'... Finally, on the 'right' pop-up-menu select 'Custom (Set in .ini)' Voila'!!!

I always love the sega model 2 graphics, its truly ahead of its time and also its looks pretty beautiful aesthetic wise compare to both Saturn and PS1 Graphics

…loving both the model 2 and model summaries you put together. I noticed the version of Daytona in this vid is widescreen. Is that the PS3 or Xbox360 version or did the arcade version have widescreen capability?

Glad you liked the videos!! They take a lot of time to put together! All games in both videos are played on the model2 and supermodel model3 emulator, no console games. Model2 emu devs have added widescreen support for some games that you can enable. I didn't use it for all the supported games in the model2 video as i didn't realise there was more, but Daytona has proper 16:9 widescreen supported in the emulator. The model3 emulator supports 16:9 widescreen properly for almost all games, there's a few that have some texture issues on the edges, you can see it in the le mans section of the model3 video, black on the edges, virtua fighter 3 also has this issue, so i kept it 4:3 otherwise if looked really broken. Otherwise 16:9 works for most model3 games perfectly. Not stretched at all, it renders the game viewport wider to 16:9 properly.

I think I like Model 2 games more than M3. More games, more diversity

How do you get the different colored bikes in Manx TT?

Is it a bug in the emulator with Sega Rally where the other cars seem to "jump" ahead? I notice they're doing it in your video too.

Please explain which computer you use and which emulator

Yeah model 2 emulator even supports force feedback, i mean controller vibration. 😛

When i made this video i used a wheel for all driving games. I didn't really tune it's force feedback so it was pretty dull. In my model 3 video, the force feeedback for Daytona 2, Sega Rally 2 and Scud racer is awesome. Pretty sure it's using the force effects from the arcade drive board firmwares!

How did you get it to 4k. Was it as simple as changing the output in the settings or is there something more to it?
