Stunt Cycle

Made an attempt at the first emulation of a ROM-using discrete logic game:


Performance averages about 45 FPS on a 3.4 GHz CPU, which isn't too bad considering the complexity of the game, and the use of high frequency (by 1970s standards) clocks on some logic. Unfortunately the speed of the simulation is highly dependent on the speed of the motorcycle, so it ranges from about 55 FPS when moving at minimum throttle, to 35 FPS at maximum. Makes timing the jumps a bit trickier :)

Sound is not supported yet, and there are still a few minor bugs to work out. Stay tuned!

  1. This is *awesome*. Excellent work! I'm sure you're aware of the many attempts in the past at getting a solid simulation of Stunt Cycle... I know of at least three separate project attempts. And to see the progress you've made... *wow*.

    It's been great to see the trailblazing work you're doing with DICE. Keep up the great work!

    Stunt Cycle fan greatly appreciates your efforts.
    Artwork Bezel and shroud are available at MrDo! Mame artwork page.
    Sound samples can be obtained if desired as an interim to eventual sound emulation.

  7. Fantastic, it's almost a forgotten era the dedicated pre-programmable system consoles/arcade machines. I will follow DICE with increasing interest.
