Sega Model 3 - Supermodel released !

DemonEyeX · April 1, 2011

Doesn't appear to be an April fools joke !

http://www.trzy.org/Supermodel/

The first release of Bart's version of Supermodel,

Haven't tried it yet, who's gonna be the first to knock up a script ?

shaybe · April 1, 2011

I hope this is true, ever since I first found out about MAME I've wanted to emulate the Star Wars Trilogy game

chillinwater · April 1, 2011

Its true no joke but with no sound and kinda slow

Ive been waiting for Star Wars forever too.

Be sure to read the web page and the "readme.txt"

Its not ready for Hyperspinning yet but could easiliy be added using the

Sega Model 2 or original mame script.

[superModel Test.bat]-current config

-windowed (default res) 496x384.

"Currently, this cannot be overriden.

Changing video modes at run-time is not yet supported".

-starwars trilogy is active in this batch

-remove "rem" from the rom-line you want to test

(add it to the previously tested rom-line)

add command line switches if wanted to the batch or ahk scripts mentioned above. (there are some others)

-res=<x>,<y> ;for resolution

-fullscreen ;for fullscreen mode

-no-throttle ;to disable 60 hz frame rate

-ppc-frequency=25 ;(default) set powerPC frequency in hertz

example:

Supermodel.exe swtrilgy.zip -fullscreen -res=640x480 -no throttle -ppc-frequency=<value>

-roms (copied from mame - i used 141 roms) go in \supermodel\ - root dir

-batch files go in \supermodel\ - root dir

Holy Crap it is for real. I thought this was gonna be another "hey honey I'm pregnant again" jokes like my wife played on me.

nickynooch · April 1, 2011

Wow. Awesome!

me too chillinwater way to long !!!

its a good day for emulation

sosfx · April 1, 2011

ok so after playing around with it for a few hrs and i got to say its a real good start starwars runs good on my old laptop and there was only a few issues

it would have been good to have sound but still have had fun tonight with this

Thanks to Bart Trzynadlowski.

Griff08 · April 2, 2011

Star Wars Trilogy Emulation would be great.

However...

Jurassic Park Lost World Emulation woud fulfill a childhood fantasy! (I have heard there was a port to the Sega Saturn which can be emulated. True?)

Maybe the HS team should extend some free gold memberships to the Super Model Team to foster some good collaboration between the projects!

Bart Trzynadlowski is an emulation hero!

sosfx · April 2, 2011

JP lost world works too!!

it would work with aimtrak as well

jeepguy81 · April 2, 2011

Hopefully there will be a 64bit compile of it fairly soon. Playing with the 32bit on my laptop now, im so damn excited lol !!!!

Thooperman · April 2, 2011

This is so great! Thanks for sharing the good news. I have only been playing Scud Race at the moment and I've been loving it, even though I'm just playing on a keyboard and crashing a lot, it's still great to have. I'll have a crack at some of the others soon.

lol, my wife did that last year. we just had our 5th 2 months ago.

Misto · April 2, 2011

This is pretty good for an early release, was playing around with some of the supported games and they were alot of fun. And since I'm sure people (like me) will be interested in this for their Hyperspin setup, I created a database and script to set it up.

You may want to put a couple of your own parameters in the script which you can get from the emulator homepage, but I tested this with a few roms and worked flawlessly. This script also assumes the roms are in the same folder as the emulator.

Enjoy

djvj · April 2, 2011

Misto, your xml is not totally HS 2.0 compliant. Here is the one I made early today just never got around to posting. My names are a little different then yours too, I got them from either boxart or wikipedia. Yours has some errors too, like jurassic park is yellow, not red.

dat: (don't need if you have mame roms)

Griff08 · April 2, 2011

I wrote the Supermodel author an email, and he wrote back right away. He seems like a great guy. I hope he gets the support he needs on the project.

;To improve performance, Supermodel underclocks the PowerPC down to [color=lime]25[/color] MHz by
;default.  This may be the cause of some games running too slowly even when the
;frame rate is at 60 FPS (which is the native rate).  You may want to experiment
;with increasing the clock frequency, although this comes with a performance 
;penalty. 

;By default, Supermodel limits the frame rate to 60 Hz.  This has no impact on
;performance except when the frame rate exceeds 60 FPS on fast systems.  This
;can be disabled with the '-no-throttle' option.  
;To disable, Throttle=(leave blank) otherwise to enable, Throttle=[color=red]true[/color]

sydaroa · April 2, 2011

I'm using windows 7 64 and it runs ok

charlie1212 · April 2, 2011

Me too. Tested it on vista 64 and played Star Wars and The lost wolrd.

Pretty decent for an alpha version.

Trnzaddict · April 2, 2011

Finally I can play the Lost World. Dude i've been waiting a long time for this.

Good times!

CandyFace · April 3, 2011

Hmm im going to check this out tommorow

looks awesome

Lewis · April 4, 2011

Wait?! WHAT???!!! OMG this is awesome news!!

Does this emulate JP properly with sound? This is my all time fav arcade game!

Also do we need roms or can we use the ones that are in mame?

mixelplick · April 4, 2011

Sound doesn't work and I used the ROM from Mame. You can go here:

http://www.trzy.org/Supermodel/About.html

to see what works and what doesn't....sound doesn't work on any of them at this time.

PSPUMD · April 7, 2011

it works perfectly, there is also a frontend on Sega Model 2 / Nebula Forum made by fans,

There is a x86 and x64 Version

if anyone wants to try it real quick in dos

Windows: type "cmd" (opens kinda dos)

C:/where-ever-your-folder-is-called/Supermodel Rom-Name.zip -fullscreen -config-inputs

It actually runs almost fullspeed on my poopy laptop << Yes Laptop

(AMD Athlon II P320 Dual Core 3.00gb ram)

Try SuperGT/Scud Race

Amazing Emulation , can't wait for their next release , Extremely promising

EDIT: New Frontend available on their Page now

Damien2213 · April 13, 2011

Anyone else having problems with the games looking like they are running a little fast. Jurassic Park looks right best I can tell but Star Wars seems to be fast though that could be just me watching the slow intros through MAME in the past.

So far I'm very happy with the way it looks and can't wait for sound.

Griff08 · April 16, 2011

Hahahah,

This emulator might have a chance of achieving greatness! since when do emulators run too fast!?!?! lol

Check out this video of Jurassic Park in action!
