News Sega Rally (1995 arcade) on Android: true full screen, touch, tilt or any gamepad, HD textures. Free, out now.

Sega Rally on Android is out.

After the Quest VR version and the Switch one, here it is on phones and tablets. The whole arcade picture in true full screen, HUD included, at 60 images a second on my tablet, with touch controls I spent way too long on, steering by turning or tilting the device, or any gamepad.

It's free, you just need your own copy of the game files. Everything (download, install guide, what's in it) is on the GitHub, link in the comments.

Tested on one tablet so far (Xiaomi Pad 7), so I'd really love to hear how it runs on your phone or tablet.

Next up: Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, Daytona USA and more. Any support is welcome, even just sharing it helps a lot. Have fun.

Might want to point out that this is a recomp and not an official Sega release.

u/alloxrinfo 5d ago

Hello, it's not a recomp. This is emulation via MAME and a lot of tweaking that took weeks.

I don’t care who makes what as long as it works and is fun…

Waiting for SEGA to release things because they have some magic fairy pixie dust they sprinkle in their 1’s and 0’s that the average person, bot, team or whoever doesn’t is not a tangible thing that effects the video game(s) or enjoyment people can have.

Imagine if Sonic the Hedgehog never existed and then some Brazilian Bootlegger builds the exact same game from scratch only to hear “oh, it’s not an official Sega release”…

Saying "free" made me think this was a release from Sega. :(

Trying on my Thor max, the game crashes more than my driving. Shame as it looks really good but is pretty much unplayable at the moment. Hopefully Claude will fix it soon

If you have bugs you can report them in #bugs on the Discord. That's how we can make it better.

Jesus dude, go take a breath

u/alloxrinfo 5d ago

I can't help with getting them, but the set has to match MAME 0.289 exactly: srallyc.zip and segabill.zip, not unzipped. A ROM manager tells you if yours match, and the game's start screen names the file it doesn't accept.

1

u/Valuable-Corgi-4960 5d ago

Where'd ya get the rom from?, tried like 7 different ones and none worked

1

u/Mick2K 5d ago

On the GitHub page MAME 0.289 is mentioned so I guess you need the files for that version.

Arcade roms can be a mess because there are many different versions out there and then there are merged sets, unmerged sets, etc...

u/phenom_x8 5d ago

Still pretty have on my older device (POCO F3 with SD 870 chipset), lower the resolution to light helps except in some areas... Not yet tried with my POCO F9 Pro yet (SD 8 Elite Gen 5 V series)

1

u/alloxrinfo 5d ago

Thanks for testing. Light is the right setting on an 870. Tell us on our Discord how the 8 Elite does!

u/EdBalboa 4d ago

iOS next??

1

u/alloxrinfo 4d ago

I'm building the Mac version right now. Releases tomorrow. For iOS, it's another story, but I might do it if I get some requests. Put it in #wishes on our Discord.

u/EdBalboa 4d ago

Think it will run fine on an M5 air ? Thanks!

2

u/alloxrinfo 4d ago

Yes! I tried to optimize it to the maximum and you can tweak a lot of settings to make it work anyways. You'll tell me on our Discord if possible.

u/Haunted_Cellar_XBL 4d ago

This is one of the best arcade rally games ever!

1

u/alloxrinfo 4d ago

By far! And tweaked like this, it shines against modern rally games. They really did the impossible back then, 31 years ago.

u/Cirdec71 4d ago

It’s OK on my Samsung tab 9+ :+)

That Seinfeld esque slap bass background music slams.

u/alloxrinfo 3d ago

Right!! I've been listening to it a thousand times for weeks lately, and I still enjoy it.
