ridgerac: MAME ROM Information.


History:

Ridge Racer (c) 1993 Namco.


A superb, single-person racing game from Namco, featuring texture-mapped polygon graphics; in which the player competes against computer cars or attempts to set a 'personal best' in a time trail event. Ridge Racer features just a single racing track, but different sections of the track become available to add variety to the racing.


Ridge Racer's superb gameplay places a large emphasis on 'power sliding'; locking the car in a slide and drifting through corners. Perfecting this skill is key to winning races.

Released in October 1993.


A Ridge Racer unit is prominently shown in the second episode of the Japanese TV show "Ninja Sentai KakuRanger," showing an actor playing the game rather poorly.


According to a promotional flyer, Ridge Racer was the first 3-D arcade game to feature texture mapped polygons.


Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Ridge racer : Namco Game Sound Express Vol.11 - VICL-15025) on 21/01/1994.


A graphically enhanced version of the short track appears in Ridge Racer V as 'Sunny Beach' and Ridge Racer PSP as 'Seaside Route 765'. A graphically enhanced version of the long track appears in Ridge Racer V as 'Green Field' and Ridge Racer PSP as 'Ridge City Highway'.

0.96 [?]

0.74u2 [?]

0.62 [?]


WIP:

- 0.143u6: Changed description of clones 'Ridge Racer (3 Screen? Rev. RR2, World)' to '(Rev. RR2 Ver.B, World, 3-screen?)' and '(Full Scale, 1993-12-13, World)' to 'Ridge Racer Full Scale (World)'. Renamed (rrf) to (ridgeracf).

- 0.138u3: Fabio Priuli updated Ridge Racer to use keys instead of dipswitches for shifters.

- 0.137u2: Tormod, Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added clone Ridge Racer (Full Scale, 1993-12-13, World), not working - incomplete boardset.

- 0.133u2: Smitdogg and Guru added clone Ridge Racer (3 Screen? Rev. RR2, World).

- 10th August 2009: Smitdogg - Guru and I got a Ridge Racer board set with recycled funds. It was sold as the 3 screen version, and it probably is, but all I can tell so far is it is at the very least an undumped version, so I am happy with the deal.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (ridgerab) to (ridgeracb) and (ridgeraj) to (ridgeracj).

- 0.124u1: Aaron Giles fixed unstable freezes that ends with crash and needs totally reboot under XP.

- 0.124: Andrea Turci added Ridge Racer (Rev. RR3, World). Renamed (ridgerac) to (ridgerab).

- 0.104u2: Changed CPU2 from M37710 to M37702 (16384000 Hz). Added C74 M37702 sound MCU rom.

- 12th September 2005: R. Belmont - I've fixed the analog controls for Ridge Racer and Rave Racer and enabled full sound and music in them and the other System 22 games. The next version's gonna be fun.

- 0.96: Added Ridge Racer (Rev. RR2, World).

- 0.86u1: Changed 68020 CPU1 clock speed to 24576000 Hz and TMS32025 CPU2/3 to 49152000 Hz. Added 'Stick Shift' dipswitch.

- 0.85u2: Changed region user2 to sound1.

- 0.84u5: Replaced Stick controller with Paddle.

- 0.81u8: Phil Stroffolino fixed Namco System 22 driver and TMS32025 CPU. Most self tests are working now in Prop Cycle and Ridge Racer. The slave DSP's in-game graphics processing and "custom render devices" are currently simulated, which works only for Prop Cycle. Added 2x TMS32025 (48MHz) CPUs, added new gfx2/3 roms and changed region cpu2 to cpu4.

- 0.75: Fixed gfx2 roms addresses, gfx3 rom ($200000) length to 512kb and dipswitches. Added 'DIP4-1' - 'DIP4-10' dipswitches.

- 0.74u2: Added Ridge Racer (Rev. RR1, Japan) (Namco 1993).

- 20th July 2003: Guru - Received Ridge Racer (World rev) from R. Belmont.

- 0.70u4: Renamed (rr1) to (ridgeraj).
