Rad Mobile [System 32] by SEGA

Rad Mobile (ラッドモビール) has always had some compatibility issues with MAME. Most people play it with a mouse to get around this. Instead of going that route, I chose to fiddle with the game settings until getting them to a point where using a controller became a viable option. While in no way an ideal solution, it has, in this instance, worked well enough to allow me to finish in first on only two credits.
If you'd like to do the same, access the service menu while running the ROM and make these changes to the analog controls:
Paddle Digital Speed: 15 (+5)
Paddle Autocenter Speed: 100 (+90)
Paddle Reverse: Off

God I loved this game. I was lucky to have played the motion version of the arcade version.

This is my favorite early 90s arcade game, I love music, car sprites, car microwave sound, opponent car fart noises, and the fat policeman. (The audio is littlebit off)

Thanks for posting this. I played this for the first time at Disneyland ages ago. It blew my mind at the time. Great to see it again.

When the car air freshener in the Taxi I drive was swinging about the other day, it reminded me of this and thought they should sell plastic Sonic air fresheners. Most people know Mario debuted in Donkey Kong but far less know this game was Sonic's.

its pretty amazing how they achieved 3d view with out using polygons.

Thanks for the tips on MAME settings... I've tried a few times unsuccessfully and was hoping someone else had found the magic combination!

[@IncessantWake]

when the cars pass by it sounds like they are making that buzzing sound with their lips LOL!

[@stalwartneon8251]

who came here to watch sonic the air freshener swing for 18 minutes straight

[@SaturnMemories]

Unfortunately, the +90 auto-center make these settings more like digital input. I hope to one day find a better way to approximate the car's handling, but until then, at least the game is playable.

I love that the border of Michigan is just a bunch of oil refineries and nuclear power plants (and palm trees??) haha
