Man Rush 2049 is one of my all time favorites. Does the arcade version include the stunt mode like the home console ports did?

ProjectR is an unofficial, native port of the arcade games "San Francisco Rush: The Rock" and "San Francisco Rush 2049" to Windows, macOS, and Linux.

It does not unfortunately. I loved playing the stunt mode on Dreamcast though. It does have the coins though that you can hunt for.

Damn if this isn't already on the drives that I'm getting, I may have to grab that myself so I can play it at that resolution and FPS. That looks noticeably better than the OG game.ProjectR

I am pretty surprised how good the OG game looks straight up on LCD though, even stretched. It's definitely more vivid too than the CRT.
Here's a comparison video I made after finishing up the first conversion with the arcade hardware. It's hard to get a real quality comparison with this kind of video but you can see the aspect ratio and stuff. I wrapped up the 2nd one last night too and am now just waiting on the hardware to interface the cabinets with the PC before I do the emulation conversion.
I wish someone would release a proper Cisco Heat remake, without the weird compromises they had to make in the animations due to the limitations of that era.

Wow, there's a reference!
It's weird being in a class with a bunch of 18-22 year olds. I think my teacher might be 30. "Hey everyone, just keeping it real and down on the yo dawg! So uh, is Fleetwood Mac still hip with the children?"
It is not, by the way.
I was in the 42 coding bootcamp with that age group. Not fun. They just didn't want to collaborate with me and since most of them were green, their understanding of coding was just bonkers. The way they would try to explain some concepts, I was surprised that their programs even compiled. Found out much later that a lot of them were cheating and some even used ChatGPT. That was totally fine with the French organizers of the bootcamp because according to them, you use whatever advantage you can get in life because life is unfair

I felt the same way in college with people in my own age group, felt like I was the only person in there that understood basic programming. I was there eager to learn more advanced concepts that I don't know but ended up being the unofficial class tutor instead lol.

They're on their phones constantly, but every one of them has been friendly and helpful. I'm very extroverted and southern, so between that and being old, I think they weren't sure how to deal with me at first.I was in the 42 coding bootcamp with that age group. Not fun.

Yeah. That's so annoying having to tutor a bunch of newbies and you feel bad if you don't teach them but there is basically no reward. Most of the times, not even a thank you. The best you will get is sometimes someone will ask you a hard question, forcing you to think of a problem in a new way. But most of the time, you don't progress in your understanding to more advanced concepts and even if some of the newbies get better than you, it's no good for you because they won't even talk to you afterwards once they don't need you anymore.
This is kind of the story behind the creation of the WordPerfect word processor. The professor was astounded that some of his students were making more than him after learning from him so he gave up teaching and just created a word processor with another guy to rake in the big bucks.
By the way, two of the girls who improved their concepts by discussing things with me, both of them got 66 in the final exam whereas I got only 60 (I'd had only 4 hours of sleep, got a hard problem that I hated and it took most of my time and then final 20 minutes, my entire section of computers lost power so I just sat there like a stupid duck!).

Oh man Corel Wordperfect that brings me back. Used to be the gold standard in the school system. I think they had a program where they gave it to schools for free. Same with Novel I think schools either got it for free or at a high discount.

I think wordperfect was big in the law profession for some reason, and is still used in that capacity. I don't think I ever used it. I went from atari to ms to libreoffice.
I was a kid growing up in the 90s. What I'm about to tell you is secret.
My dad bought a computer for us. 386DX-40. I would like to think that he bought it for me but it's a lie now that I think about it. He always did things HE wanted to do. Anyway, still gotta be grateful that I got a PC because of that. So he installed a bunch of software on it based on what he was used to working with at work. So he installed Office on Windows 3.1 and told me that Excel was the coolest software. One day, he was talking to me and said, it sure would be cool if these lines (referring to the gridlines) wouldn't make Excel look ugly. So I was looking in the options that day and saw the relevant option. I showed him and he was pretty happy to see an Excel with a white background and his glowing face made me proud. Then few days later, he wanted to use the PC so sat down at it and obviously I was curious to see what he was doing. He drafted a LETTER on Excel. Took him an hour to get it the way he wanted and print it. And because of him, for the next few years, I WROTE letters and applications and other official school stuff in EXCEL!
I probably wouldn't use Word seriously until I was in my 20s. I was the sort of kid who would install all kinds of weird software to try it out. Yet, I never explored Word, found it boring and because of Word, I never thought to try out Wordperfect because it had "Word" in it so dismissed it automatically as boring too.
So please, don't tell anyone that I used Excel as a Word alternative.

My dad forbid me to click Format in Excel. He told me that the Format command destroys the computer hard drive. So one day, I click it anyway and my PC is fine. I show him next time and as I am about to click Format, he's apprehensive and tries to stop me. Don't do that! I tell him that I've done it before. He doesn't look pleased that I ignored his instructions. I show him and he's like, oh, interesting and goes away, like saying to himself, gotta act nonchalant. Can't let the kid know that I learned something from him today.

Wrapped up the 2nd conversion to LCD yesterday and got my basement back in order.
I think these games actually look better aesthetically with the LCD conversion that I did than they do with the stock CRT monitors.
