Back last year Dead Heat Arcade got ripped, cracked and fully playable, here Harry 99710 shows it running on Ubuntu (any flavour/version of unix should do).
This is an ACTUAL ARCADE DUMP – Not to be confused with remakes, or ‘arcade versions’ –
READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO GET THE GAME TO RUN!!
>1. Extract from zip file to a linux OS (ubuntu-based works well)
>This game won’t work right without an nvidia card.
>For network play, set an environment variable called DH_PCB_ID to 1, 2, 3 , or 4 depending upon link configuration.
>If DH_PCB_ID is not set, the default PCB ID will be 1.
>This game, like many other namco games, requires 5.1 audio at a rather specific sample rate. If you don’t have surround51 as a valid audio device (i.e. you’re like everyone with just two speakers, you’re going to need to add export DH_SOUND_FIX=1 to environment variables and add this to your /etc/asound.conf:
"""
#5.1 to stereo downmix - manual with no plugin
pcm.!sysdefault {
slave.pcm front
slave.channels 2
type route # input output scaling
ttable.0.0 1 # fl left 100
ttable.1.1 1 # fr right 100
ttable.2.0 1 # rl left 100
ttable.3.1 1 # rr right 100
ttable.4.0 0.5 # ctr left 50
ttable.4.1 0.5 # ctr right 50
ttable.5.0 0.5 # lfe left 50
ttable.5.1 0.5 # lfe right 50
}
""">This will push all 6 channels to your two speakers.
>If you don’t have a camera (/dev/video0), turn off the camera in config.csv or you will get an error. If you have a camera and it still errors, export DH_CAMERAFIX=1,
>Check out data/csv/config.csv for extra options.
>Run the game with LD_PRELOAD=./dh_emu.so ./a.elf [optional -full for fullscreen]
