Sega Tri-force game emulations

[sky2310]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has been able to find a good way to emulate Sega Tri-force games (a joint project between Sega, Nintendo and Namco). 

Apparently the developers of Dolphin incorporated support for this back in the day when the emulator first started but it has since been abandoned. 

 

There's only around two dozen games ever released but most of them are timeless arcade classics like Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 & 2.

I recently discovered Sega Tri-force games especially am interested in Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 & 2. 

Have you had any experience with how to get this to run? I cannot get pass the insert card part it just freezes.

By the way guys, I worked out a way to play Mario Kart 2 GP perfectly:

 

Add the game onto classic Dolphin and then click edit code then add:

TO RUN MARIO KART ARCADE 1 - For those having issues shooting items, just load the game with this version of Dolphin: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/b957980d9f27279d2507a50e115bf275141a4ea7/

Thanks man, added 3 fun games to the collection, work fine out of the box, but a bit of rocket launcher "crap" around it.

I extracted just the emulators, and roms and all 3 2 run fine. 

BTW, all the files in this package are set to read only !

The ISO contained in this package of Mario kart GP is the same as Mario Kart GP 2, so twice the same file.

 

I made shortcuts to start the game directly. 

 

Make a shortcut to your Dolphin executable

Right click the shortcut and click properties

Now put the following string into the "Target" Box:

"[Path to your Dolphin.exe]" -b -e "[Path to your game rom]"

-b = makes the Dolphin loader / emulator close on game close. (escape)

-e = Execute specific ROM.

Without brackets but with quotation marks.

Thanks pal. 

You can get the Mario Kart GP 1 official rom here: https://mega.nz/#!hhhkDZLK!5l68zz1dX1JroXUDh2wkh1WZotVZRoqv8y2_Rb4UmuQ

To get it working there's so tinkering with different versions etc (if running Dolphin): https://www.speedrun.com/mkagp/guide/38ljo

 

Did Rocket Launcher launch both files fine?

 

[Invité linglang]

I do not need nor use the (incomplete) files for Rocketlauncher , so I did not test it.

Here another link for Mario Kart Arcade GP.

Does anyone which TriForce games function with Dolpin or another loader ?

Any links to the ISO's needed ?

 Thanks in advance.

The Tri-force board only had a handful of games - most of them are card, sports and racing games. Out of the 6-7, Mario Kart GP 1 & 2 + F-Zero are the best ones. The 2 virtua Striker games have never been emulated successfully as far as I know. Perhaps you could try and see how you go. What launcher did you use to launch the included games? I used Dolphin the Tri-force mod.

 

[eathearty1]

To boot virtual striker 3 ver. 2002 you need dolphin (triforce) 3.0-697

I found it a slow methodical procedure to get the hang of it.  there is a trick to it, getting both mario kart games working  and also u will have to use different versions of tri force dolphins  to get all the 'working games' working.

the soccer one is gd but its buggy,  theres no improvement, no one has done anything since early 00s.

 i should make a video on it.  look and see type thing.    

[Bigfraz5]

I have 4 games working and they all use there own version of emulator

Thanks pal. That would be great if you could make a video and specify which versions you use that work.

Tri-Force only had a handful of games and besides the two Mario Kart GP games, only F-Zero and the Virtual Soccer games are worth playing.

Yeah you are right it's a bit of a hassle and after while sometimes people forget which to use. 

How did you get F-Zero and Virtual Soccer to work? Care to share the emulators & roms you used?

Thanks pal!

I really appreciate your help. 

Could you upload the version of Dolphin which works for F-Zero and the one that works separately with Virtua Striker games? It would be good for others who are interested to have.

Once again, much appreciated.

Mario 2 also, use the link for Mario 1 posted a few posts back.                       

Extract the files from the google drive post, and separate the loaders and roms for each loader / game combo in their own folders, works fine for me.                    Thanks for your initial post !

Oh yes for me the arcade version of F-Zero AX   doesnt work, so if it works for you , how?

for me i can play the GC version quite well. F-Zero GX 

lang of course the game cube version works.  we were, or atleast I was talking about what we are talking about , which is the bloody arcade version of the game 'AX'

[Invité linglang]

@trouby

Thanks for the info, I thought @sky2310 put up a post with the correct arcade versions.

 

https://gbatemp.net/threads/entire-f-zero-ax-found-inside-f-zero-gx.344183/

 

So how do you go about enjoying this arcade treat?

All you need is the Nintendo Gamecube Action Replay or Gameshark and the PAL or NTSC version of F-Zero GX.

Using the codes below, you'll be granted access to this hidden portion of the game:

F-Zero AX ISO

GAME ID: GFZJ8P

Dolphin emu recognizes the Game, but it's not bootable.

If you load the game into Dolphin Emu's game list, it will be called VirtuaStriker2002.

Don't be confused because of that. The Game ID's prefix (GFZ) proves it's a F-Zero Game.

 

From Dolphin wiki:

Broken

Due to unemulated features that the game relies upon, F-Zero AX is not playable even on the Triforce branch.

It is possible to enter in-game through the use of certain gecko codes, however there are limited controls as well as several graphical and camera glitches.

 

I have no idea how to get the arcade AX version to work at the moment.

LANG ITS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME GAME  anyway.  the F-Zero GX game.

Yep, nearly exactly the same except the arcade was called F-Zero AX and the gamecube port was called F-Zero GX. The AX version apparently had some more stages and few extra characters from memory but plays the same. 

 

Call me nuts, but I find these versions boring compared to the old on Nintendo 64 for gameplay supremacy that is!

Hey pal, we appreciate your sharing very much so please don't misunderstand, but your games have .gcm file extensions which are used for Nintendo Gamecube games which certainly can be played on the Dolphin emulator as it run both Nintendo Gamecube and Wii games, see here: https://fileinfo.com/extension/gcm

 

However, the Sega Tri-force arcade board was a joint project between Sega, Nintendo and Namco whereby all three would contributing to making the games, it would run on Sega's hardware and Namco would be actively involved in the design and development hence the name. These "Tri-force" games were then ported to the Nintendo Gamecube (most of them not all) so although they may be known as Tri-Force games which they are, they are not arcade dumps but Nintendo Gamecube roms which is probably what you have. 

 

Thanks all the same.
