If you do it without messing up, you’ll now be inside the folder where supermodel.exe is. Likewise, if you just put supermodel.exe in a “SuperModel” folder that’s just inside your “Documents” folder, you’d type:Ĭd C:\Users\YourName\Documents\SuperModel Still with me?Ĭd C:\Users\TrackerTD\Documents\Games\Emulators\SuperModel You’ll need to point the cmd line to where the Supermodel.exe file is, using the “cd” (change directory) command.įor example, I store supermodel.exe in a “SuperModel” folder, inside an “Emulators” folder, inside a “Games” folder, that’s inside my “Documents” folder, and that’s inside my “TrackerTD” folder, which is inside the “Users” folder, on my C: drive. HOW DO I RUN SUPERMODEL?Īlright, let’s get into the actually important thing playing the games.įirst off, you’ll want to get the cmd prompt open, like so. I’ve wound up just sticking with the cmd line. If you really can’t bear this, there are unofficial GUIs available from EMUCR and supermodelui, but after dabbling in these I honestly find them a pain in the ass to get working. Officially, it has no GUI! It’s operated entirely through the cmd line on Windows. See, there’s one big sticking point that turns most people away from using Supermodel. WHY? IS SUPERMODEL HARD TO USE OR SOMETHING? SEGA Rally 2. An incredibly fun game, though the emulation here has some glitchy music (and sometimes the menu doesn’t show up, either!) I just edit the supermodel.ini file manually to change mappings. If the config I’ve got set up doesn’t suit you, then… well, have fun trying to use the config tool in the actual app, because I’ve never been able to figure it out. I use a Dualshock 4 pad emulating an Xbox 360 pad with Supermodel. Or at least it would, but that download link in the last paragraph also includes all of my configuration settings. Good! Now comes the pain in the arse part configuring the bloody controls. You can get the build of Supermodel I use here. There are more recent versions floating around the net these are technically ‘unstable’ or dev builds, but from my time using them, they’re fine and have many improvements over the build onsite.Ĭontrary to popular belief, I’m not a dick (though in this case Bart and Nik would probably disagree), so I’m not going to make you lot go on a wild goose chase looking for the thing. It’s alright though, because you’ve just got to do some digging at this point. That being said, visiting the site probably doesn’t inspire much confidence, as the last version released on there is from September 24, 2011. If you’re trying to emulate the Model 3 board, there’s only really one option: Supermodel, an emulator written by Bart Trzynadlowski and Nik Henson. WHAT’S MODEL 3 EMULATION LIKE, THEN? Virtua Fighter 3. My personal favourite Virtua Fighter game! Some, such as Virtua Fighter 3 made it onto the Dreamcast (though many consider that one butchered), but on the whole some of the best titles on the board such as Daytona USA 2 and SCUD Race are sadly locked away to the arcades. This is mostly due to the fact that many of the games on it were never ported. Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge, one of the Model 3’s darlings.Ĭomparatively, the Model 3’s kind of… forgotten. It’s an arcade platform! The successor to SEGA’s beloved Model 2 board, that being the thing that brought us classics such as Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter 2, Virtual-On, and so much more. And since I’ve nowhere else to put it, it gets to go here! Sorted, lads. Well, now I’ve been asked to write stuff. Oh shit, I have a website! This place died quite a death, huh. I let it through and my computer hasn’t melted though, so I’d say it’s just a false positive. Just a heads up, this build may report as malware on Avast. Oops! Keep an eye on this thread for updated versions. I’ve replaced the version linked in this article with the new build, but with my config setup still intact. UPDATE 22/05/17: Turns out Supermodel’s distributed through the site forums now.
