Scud Race - REAL 3 Player Game (Beginner Day)
36So, I enlisted a couple of my mates to take part in some 3 player games in a few of the different networkable games in Supermodel. One of the biggest improvements to the network recently, is the fact the Scud Race Beginner Day stage is now no longer buggy and filled with graphical artefacts which crash the game. The network code has also been replaced with TCP which means you can pause the emulation and it won't time out. I think this refers to the fact that now if you close one of the emulators, the other one doesn't immediately hang like it used to.
If you've been follewing my Supermodel network videos, you probably know this already, but I'll repeat it for anyone who doesn't know: At present, in order to get the Supermodel network running, you need to disable multithreading on the emulators, which makes them run much slower than if Supermodel used it's default multithreading option, i.e. using all you PC's CPU cores as opposed to only one like it currently has to in network mode. As the default speed here that we're actually playing at is about 25fps the sound comes out like a garbled mess at this speed, so I've muted it, sped the video up as if it were playing at the correct speed and added new audio in. Even playing the games at this speed, the races were pretty heated... I'm the car in the middle by the way. My mate Mark's on the left and my other mate Lights is on the right.
Something interesting about playing Scud Race in multiplayer is that the waiting your entry screen has got different music to the normal select your car and course single player game, which oddly isn't in the game's soundtest test menu. I'm just using the normal version here, as far as I'm aware, there's nowhere on the internet to get a video or audio file of this music. I tried recording it myself with one of the multiplayer emulators closed down, but even at around 50fps, the audio was getting a bit distorted.
