Thanks to your Sega Racing Retrospective series I finally installed M2 emu about a month ago on my sim racing rig. Playing arcade Daytona and Sega Rally at home with a direct drive FFB wheel plus a motion seat as an added bonus is like a childhood dream come true haha.

Love these Sega Model emulators. Keep up the great work

I'm currently writing a TrueForce plugin for this. I want to have decent force feedback on G29 series wheels.

Haha your daytona usa vid you just put out had me looking for an emulator setup vid.

Thankfully you got me! I appreciate your dedication to the hobby

[SaturnSteve]

Model 2 is one of the oldest emulators that is still essential today because there was never a newer Model 2 emulator to compete/replace it.

[JohnDoe-teuk]

Thanks again for your dedication. I really like that you also talk a lot about emulation. Back in the day I thought real hardware or fpga is the only way and the right path to retro video games. Emulated games on a pc just didn’t feel the same in the past. Now, I think the input lag problem has been largely resolved. Graphically you can even make the games look better than the original. It’s important to be open minded.

Great video! Ive been playing around with Carnevil with the sinden lightgun after your previous video. Im working on it but, your right calibration is key!

[supersyz]

Wow, I literally just discovered this emulator last week and then you post this video, great timing! 😉

[RetroT]

Such a quality emulator and the only one that allows you to play house of the dead

[danalabomme]

Outstanding, thank you for the video..

[miguelcarneiro]

Very complite and simple tutorial. Thant you for that

[John_SalchiChon]

I need help, when I left and right mouse buttons nothing happens in house of the dead :(

[admiralrimmer]

Some model 2 games got ported to the PS3 and 360 which can usually be emulated with RPCS3 and Xenia. In the case of Daytona USA it runs at 1080p in widescreen with increased draw distance.

I wished we had updates to this emulator. Like smoother netplay.

[somenerd]

thanks for the tutorial! but how do you connect a wheel?

[crimsonace]

What do you do for 2 players? It's not binding the keys for player 2 in HOTD

[araujofi]

It's a great introduction to the emulator, but you could have covered the Model 2 UI, which complements this tutorial, and would save several hours of configuration.

[quetzalthegamer]

So there's an issue with the gun calibration for House of the Dead. The resolution of the game and the resolution of your screen makes the cursor and your red aim box not sync up properly. I notice that your cursor matches the position of your aim box, but mine doesn't. I've also found that in fullscreen mode, the window doesn't completely cover the screen, even though it looks like it, so if you click on the screen to shoot in a low-righthand area, you're actually clicking off the game window and it forces focus away from the game.

I tried this any failed because I get an error message saying d3dx9_42.dll not found :(
