Notes

  • Castle Von Dandy is heavily unfinished, and is a close match to how it's found in the arcade version.
  • Neither Trainer, or Catacomb appear to exist in this build. However, a text graphic for Catacomb can be found in the track select data, as an early name, "THE CAVERN".
  • In the post-race screens, the countdown timer from the original arcade version is still present, including graphics appearing from it.
  • This build does not appear to work on a GDEMU.
  • Contains source code and other left overs on certain sectors of the disc image.
  • This game works in emulators that support the "TV (VBS/S, RF)" video mode.
