What sort of Specs will this run on realistically, would an i9 9900 paired with a GTX 1660ti 6gb and 16gb ram be enough do you think guys? The test machine's videos seem to be on an i7 10700 and RTX 3060 which is much more powerful on the graphics card front and probably similar on Cpu. Its actually very impressive that this emulator is running at all I think.

@BarryWheresBarry I tried with an e2186G processor and it works okay, this is just a glorified i7 8700k really so it should work okay with an i7 8700 I would think, in-fact it does, I tried it on a tiny PC with an i7 8700 and only a quadro t400 graphics card, 2gb vram or something, the weakest of the weak and it still worked fine running on Windows 10 so your setup should run it easy power wise, of course it might come down to your video card drivers or something.

@markb If you use the brave browser vm's site downloads are unlocked with one click and no re-direction, so if you are getting dumps from there in the future, that is probably the way to go. Hope this helps someone.

@Geordiedean1974 It is being seeded I am seeding it eight now I have been for a week

@Ijcstahl1 get this totally it could easily have been mirrored by someone, it can't be all take with no give with these things, people behaving like vultures, torrent is probably the best way to go assuming people share with others, which there is no excuse for not doing as it will be free to do, just my opinion anyway, for what its worth which is probably very little when its not me having to pay.

I think and this is only from memory that there are some extra settings in Jconfig for NXL games in a kind of sub menu, also I believe you can use dx9 wrapper with it, IO error would suggest something to do with controls though obviously, there may be extra setting for them as well, its a good while since I run this game with jconfig, is there maybe a stand alone version for this game also?, I think for some reason it is a different dll file it needs for this game.

@Arcadeguy781 I am at 47.3% it will download I think eventually don't mind seeding it for as long as it takes, the availability is the same as the percentage I have downloaded and my ratio is at 0.50, I have a 900mbs connection which should mean anybody who wants it will get it, I just want a romvault set as my current dumps are messy and duplicated over several PC's and many hard drives with no proper naming etc, so easier just to start again lol.

@Arcadeguy781 Is there a tracker with seeds on it for that torrent by any chance bro, would be much appreciated, stuck at 30%?

Those ones work they are perfectly good

Thankyou so much bro, could not find these anywhere, same with bezels for some reason, few on TP discord but not so many.

It looks very familiar this game, as if I have seen it or a very similar one before somewhere, its annoying me that I cannot remember where or when.

Usual place brother unless that is the one you already have

Use Brave Browser for VM site and you do not have any of the issues with tabs and messing around just click then download

This game was the reason I got a Japanese Wii console back in the day. The arcade version is very similar to Japanese release, the other USA and EU version is not even a patch on it. Thanks very much for upload.

Does this game work? By this I mean is there any upload which exists where the game can be run on a simple setup, without using VM's or any other kind of complicated solution, this is a great game absolutely but detail is hazy at best on whether Joe public can download and run it?

@Waffle_the_Great You are absolutely right, given the rarity of this machine, it is unlikely that the dump came from a different source than what the Teknoparrot Devs were using, which leads me to think that it wasn't as fully supported as what we think in Teknoparrot as it seems presently incompatible with the standalone dump, unless this has now changed.

I think it is on archive.org or at least it was.

In many years of being into arcade emus I can promise I have learned an important lesson, asking for unreleased dumps never speeds up their release if they are private and especially not in public chat.

@XmanAdventures It will have been dumped for sure but I certainly cannot find it anywhere, could be because of its age 2006 release that people had it years ago and lost it, it will turn up I am pretty sure, otherwise it would not have been released as a Patreon game in Teknoparrot I expect.

@compnwl apologies, I do take your point dude about it being an old post, I was just mentioning your post to clarify the point to people, who might be looking to buy new hardware that speed and processing power are not the same thing and you don't need a high end processor to run games at full speed because, you would be paying for features that you did not need for emulation, although this is changing over time in the likes of Mame which is usually able to use multiple threads at the same time as do a few others like Flycast Rcps3 etc but in the context you were talking, what you are saying was absolutely accurate and I did not intend to suggest otherwise, just to dispel the myth that more expensive is always faster for every use and that the law of diminishing returns is one that is still valid.

@stuart2773 I think but I am not entirely sure, that the utils folder will only contain the files needed to install the game onto original machines but the restore disks are on archive 3 of them, these contain that folder on one of the disks if they turn out to be needed.

Looks like quite an amusing little game when you see video of it

@Arcadeguy781 how many fps were the original game hardware, were they locked @ 30 fps or 60fps and what gfx card were they tested on plz?

@compnwl The most powerful rigs are not necessarily the fastest with dolphin, it depends a lot on single core performance, where an i5 processor can outperform a Xeon 8362 32c/64t Platinum chip costing £13,000 running @2.8ghz, nobody could consider this a weaker processor than a mid range I5 costing less that £200 yet it would have weaker performance than a 6core i5 at 4,0ghz in Dolphin, leaving aside the architecture to simplify the raw clock speed is the biggest factor, not the processing power.

looks more like 8 bit system but it might be fun.
