Rage Racer Project - Play as Rival Released (Ver. 1.2.2)

Now you can finally use all the rival cars + extra!
Some class 1 and 2 cars are not available due to the absence of the reference model among the selectable cars, instead the textures have been applied to the Esperanza and some to the Abeille.
Requires Beetle Psx on RetroArch and the USA version of the game (SLUS-00403).

Mine too! Always wanted to do that.

This is super cool to see & something I wish I had access to 25 years ago lol. It's been a long time since I played this so feel free to correct my rusty knowledge. Two things that stood out to me were that some of the A.I. liveries seemed like spares that didn't appear in the G.P. mode. The bright red Gnade & the yellow Lizard Bayonet that appered in one of your other vids. Maybe they're region specific but they were new to me. Also, what car does the tachometer that appears when you drive the A.I. cars belong to? Is that a dev thing that you would normally never see or something? It looks like the Gnade tach but with different colours & a weird "M" symbol in the middle. Lastly I guess these mods confirm that the "Devil car" billboards with the 2CV silhouette were just the devs having a laugh & no such car exists in the game. Still, sterling work that made me smile!

[@assoluto76]

Thank you for your kind words! So, the bright red Gnade, Yellow Bayonet and the tachometer as well are textures that I costumized, infact this mod just swaps textures only, not the cars (which are almost identical anyway), and if you want to try this mod you can easily modify those textures yourself.

@@assoluto76 Ahh, nicely done! You fooled me lol. I still reside in the realm of the console so it's currently out of reach but maybe in the future :)

Very kind! Now we need multiplayer for this. There are hackers, join us

[@assoluto76]

What kind of work are you planning? Thanks for the invitations, but my knowledge about reverse engineering is 0.

Very cool video and mod! When i played this game as a kid/teenager, I always wondered where exactly the rival cars start on the track, on the grid. How far does the 1st rival car start, is it like half a track ahead right from the start? I also wondered if slower cars overtake each other, of course i knew that there are 4 faster rival cars in every race, but what about other 7. I also wanted to compare and measure their exact speed. And sometimes i took a class 5 car into class 1 race and bumped into the slowest 11th car so that it overtakes the 10th car :DD

[@assoluto76]

We can have an idea of the starting point using the music player, I'm pretty sure the first car starts near the first tight curve before the uphill that leads to the waterfall and the first tunnel, and no, without "help" the rival cars never overtake each other, only the 4 fastest cars but not between them.

Hello, this is absolutely terrific work, I've always wondered if this may be possible at some point. Is retroarch an emulator of some sort? I assume this is only possible via PC play?

[@assoluto76]

Yes, retroarch is more like a platform where you can download and use many emulators. Retroarch works on many platforms, android included.

​@@assoluto76 Merry xmas, downloaded and followed instructions but does not seem to be working, Vulkan enabled and texture replacements on. Does the iso and 1.2.2 folder need to be in same directory?

[@assoluto76]

@@ssund3966 Happy Christmas! You need to put the folder RageRacer-Texturereplacements.. Inside the folder where your ISO is, rename also the name of the game only of my folder with the name of your ISO folder.
