About this project

Static recompilation of the original arcade Daytona USA (Sega Model 2 board). It’s separate from the other recomp in the catalog, which targets the 2011 XBLA re-release. It recompiles both the i960 program and the TGP program it uploads into portable C++, and rewrites the fixed-function hardware (geometrizer, rasterizer, and tilemaps) in native C++. No interpreter and no emulation core: MAME is only used as a reference to check the results.

What you need

Your own MAME-format ROM set (.zip or .7z): daytona93 (Deluxe ’93), daytona (Revision A, 1994), or both. The repository ships no game data.
