Re: One day I will finish this race
Possibly I'd say more like 6 months. Or if I really get crazy I might finish it before 2022!

Re: One day I will finish this race
It looks like you average a smidge below 19 seconds a lap. 500 laps at that pace is a bit over 2 1/2 hours for the whole race. But with only 175 laps to go, you could polish the whole thing off in just under hour. If people can spend 8 hours driving a virtual bus through the desert, you can surely power through 55 minutes of racing.

Re: One day I will finish this race
Well sure I could but I get pretty bored of it after 10-15 minutes or so. I do have another update though...melancholy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 11:04 pm It looks like you average a smidge below 19 seconds a lap. 500 laps at that pace is a bit over 2 1/2 hours for the whole race.

400 laps completed, only 100 to go. We're in the final stretch here people. So about 30 minutes left. Next time I load it up I'll probably get to 450 post about it on here and then after that the next time I load it I will most likely finish it.
What place will I finish in? I'm going to guess somewhere between 9th and 12th.
Oh and those people who play Desert Bus for 8+ hours are crazy. The only way I would attempt that is if there was a cash prize for doing so. At the very least $200 which would be $25 an hour. Heck I'd play games all day if I could make $25 an hour doing so. Just think to a big twitch streamer $25 an hour would probably be a huge pay decrease.

Re: One day I will finish this race
You missed your chance to screenshot lap 420. I request your next attempt end on 469.
Also, how are you playing this? I’m considering doing my own attempt. I probably won’t, but just in case I get the itch to try.

Re: One day I will finish this race
I had a play of Daytona on XSX. An 8 lap race. I came 3rd.
My best lap time: 18.21 seconds. A familiar number.

Re: One day I will finish this race
I realize I am about a year late but I didn't notice your post until now. It is a Model 3 emulator called Supermodel. If you are into Sega arcade games you have to try it out. Pretty much all the games work fine.melancholy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:21 pm You missed your chance to screenshot lap 420. I request your next attempt end on 469.

My number one recommendation is Emergency Call Ambulance. It is my favorite Model 3 game by far. The only thing is that it only has 4 levels but it will take you awhile to get good enough to get through them at first. Scud Race is also good. I used to play it at the arcade at the local movie theater back in the day and was thrilled to be able to play it again. I actually played an original machine of it a few years back and honestly I much prefer the emulated version.

Re: One day I will finish this race
Once you finish this race I've got a great one for your next game.
Le Mans 24 hours. Or Test Drive Le Mans 24 Hours because you're American.
Get the Dreamcast original by Melbourne House. It's a fantastic game and you'll love that you can do a real 24 hour race. Like proper, uninterrupted full day race, in real actual time.
We completed it in 24 hours. I gamed for 10 hours, then my brother played for 8 while I slept and then I played the last 6.
You should have it done by 2047.

Re: One day I will finish this race
I remember that game looking amazing back in the day. It's been a few years but I hope it still holds up visually.
