Model 2 issues Daytona.

[Freeman_JI]

I'm using the excellent Sega Model 2 Emulator

http://nebula.emulatronia.com/descargas.php

All the roms I have used Virtual ON, Sega Rally, and Sega 24hr GT have all worked as well as can be emulated except for the 1 rom I really really want to play.

Daytona.

Nebula when it does not like the rom structure will drop out a console informing the user of what files are missing. In my case its six files mpr-XsomenumbersHereX, 1024kb;s
Problem is thay are the right files only nebula is looking for 2048kb versions of them. In fact i've gone ingame with datona by simply re-naming some of the other roms that happen to be 2048kbs to shut nebula up and I do get ingame demo and all except weird crap like uh no car textures, and I fly off the track into void at the start (expected since i did screw with the roms)

so...
1) every daytona download I have tried is the same they all have those 6 files in 1024kb versions (tried quite a few rom sites and they all have the same download)
IS there a good working version for Nebula?

2) Does anyone know of a file property changer that can either trick the OS into reporting a 1mb file as a 2mb file
or
3) a program that could inject dummy data into a roms file

4) or any other suggestions?

I'm fairly good with emulators, its not my PC (AMD 64 Geforce 6, 1gig dual channel ram up to date Bios ect) I'm really stumped on this.

There is a good version, but no one was willing to offer it up when I was looking. Cant comment on the above rom yet though

[SegNin]

Well, the link I gave you has the right roms for the Model 2 emulator, but that game, Daytona, isn't emulated yet.

I guess because of what Borman mentioned.

EDIT--
According to the readme though, the game is playable.
But I keep getting a message "Cancelled: Network Board Not Present"

EDIT2--
When you get that message, Press F2, go to GAME SYSTEM, set LINK ID to Single.

Now the game will work.

Yeah, the point I was getting at is that theres a bad dump thats been floating around the internet for years that doesnt work If that rom works, then nice

[SegNin]

It works, but it still might not be a "good" dump because I noticed minor sound/graphical glitches that could be the rom or it could be the emulation.

Also, analog steering doesn't work correctly (for me at least) because of a bug in the emulator that was supposedly fixed.

And trying to steer smoothly with the D-Pad just isn't possible.

[Borman]

Thats the emulation then. Daytona was just made working in one of the last updates. .The bad dump thats on most sites doesnt work at all

[Freeman_JI]

Thanks I have to try this when i get home, I was not actually expecting anyone would reply so thanks again.

Edit: Just looking at the file I just downloaded... looks good all the mpr files are named correctly & even more important weigh in at 2mb each this should work thanks many thanks to both alot of good information.

[SegNin]

The analog stick problem is supposedly fixed in the next release of the Model 2 emulator, which would be 0.6 (Link to Spanish forum):

Or create an m2network.ini with this in it:
[network]
Rxport=1978
NextIp=127.0.0.1
NextPort=1978
Now set the link ID to master, and watch it boot! You can also use this technique for multiplayer linkup. Just replace the NextIp & NextPort to whatever that computer's M2emu port is. Also set that computer's link ID to slave. You can do this for 7 other computers... It's amazing!
