Are there any Emulators that will run this game?

Post by ReddMcKnight »

I'm trying to play a Racing game called Initial D, but I can't seem to find the ROM, or an Emulator that says anything about it, which leads to my question. Will any emulator run the Initial D Arcade Games?

I think the short answer is no

Most recent 3D arcade games either a)have no rom dumps or b)have no emulator to play them in

With that said you might want to look for ps2 or ps3 versions of Initial D. You could definitely emulate a ps2 version.

Well, there lies the problem. I don't know any Japanese. :P

I know there was ONE Initial D Arcade Game here in the US, without a doubt, because I remember seeing it and playing it for a bit. If I knew Japanese though, I would definitely import the PS3 Version.

If I am not mistaken, the first 3 Initial Ds were released in US arcades. Sadly, MAME is not at the point to handle them, and I do not think that Nebula will run Naomi 2 games at acceptable levels yet.

Do you have the rom?
There are dreamcast emulators that also run naomi games. perhaps try youtube for naomi emulation. Never tried it myself.
You don´t need Japanese tp enjoy the ps2 and ps3 versions. The ps2 version can be forced to 480p with GSM. There´s also a ps1 game, but it´s not by Sega, but I hear it´s an Okay game.
Anyway, good luck. Check back if you find anything
