Here's the Expert course from Daytona USA being played using Model 2 Emulator on the PC. I've never been all that great at the Expert course, so I was pretty happy with how I did here, although it's not perfect. I mess up the second to last hairpin on the first lap and on the 2nd I cocked up on the sharp turn under the underpass (before you get to the statue of Jeffrey), but amazingly it didn't affect my speed too much. The run through the underpass on my first lap wasn't amazing either and I skidded out a bit wide, but I managed to keep it together enough to stay on the track. The yellow, orange and red car around the 00:30 second mark are right irritating bellends. Sometimes I can get past them no problem, but other they will totally box me in (the game does apparently get the CPU cars to obstruct you if you're doing too well). The yellow car here slams into the side of me and makes me lose enough speed that he then manages to pull back out in front. Prick!

Whilst I was playing this, something really wasn't happy, either with the game itself or with my video capture software (probably the latter. Damn you FRAPs). There's about 3 instances in the first lap where the game has some sort of frame rate hiccup and a nano-second pause. Really fucking annoying when it happens when I'm going through a difficult part of the track. Fortunately it didn't happen in the second lap.

The original gameplay video was upscaled into 4K from the original 1080p gameplay (to improve the HD quality on YouTube and try and prevent the 1080p coming out mega pixelated after YouTube finishes butchering, er, I mean processing the video).
