- Find out what could have been on a fully custom emulation of Primal Rage. This project was "officially stopped" before it could be completed, but that doesn't mean we can't check it out!

So this was a joint venture, but all the credit belongs To my Guy at TileKiller for utilizing Moo Technology to bring this to us all
I know this project was stopped (for whatever reason) but is there any possible way to get my hands on this?
I’ve been dying to get my hands on an arcade perfect version for decades.
Primal rage protection is prolly the longest emulation battle I known of. I’m glad this encryption didn’t get ported to other games. Whew.
We (collectively) have been shouting at whoever will listen for decades to please, please, please do something about this. Arcade hardware doesn't last forever. Remaster it, remake it - SOMETHING.
This is a fight that is still ongoing, if you can believe it. Feel free to add your own voice by pestering Ed Boon / NRS / WB Games.
I was never able to get into PR, but I find the stories behind it's quirky emulation fascinating. It's really nice to see a skilled player be able to pick apart gameplay and point out things that a casual person would miss. Great video!
Awesome video. What a great port.The combo montage was sick AF!
Makes me pretty sad this never made it out, wanted to showcase this game with this emulation build on a Mexican FGC event I was about to assist... oh well, thanks for showing us regardless!
If anyone is in the Chicago area(or wants to come out) the galloping ghost in Brookfield has the working primal range 2 machine
Greatest Game on URTH!!
I want this on Switch!
Hi, could you tell me what is the best way to play this game please? I recently got the MAME version but I can't get the button inputs to work (can't get fierce kick to work).
I bought the midway pc disc to find it won't work on windows 10. So I was looking at either building a machine that runs XP, or getting an emulator for the PlayStation or Xbox midway versions. I also have a raspberry pi if you know of any good versions for that.
Many thanks
Every version of Primal Rage has unique technical problems and emulation issues, making each home port unique like snowflakes.
I have a few recommendations based on what your specific goals are:
Single Player: MS-DOS. Surprisingly, MS-DOS has a reasonably faithful arcade experience. The ost on MIDI instruments is an "acquired taste" let's say, but if you're good with it, the DOS-BOX Pure core in RetroArch can get you up and running reasonably quickly. Once installed, place the ISO inside the install folder (default: C:\RAGE), then zip up the folder itself and run RAGE.zip from RetroArch.
PvP: If you're going mono-a-mono with a friend, the Windows version of Midway Arcade Treasures is where it's at. It resolves many of the emulation issues, but the game runs like 5fps too fast, so it creates some interesting combo situations. The arcade experience is also subpar due to a very inaccurate AI. However, if you're just going up against another human being, this version is the go-to.
"Budget Pick": Sony PSX. If gettings the above two versions of the game prove to be too difficult (or you're using a low power device like the Raspberry Pie), then the PS1 version of the game is a reasonable pick. It's easy to emulate and has a decent arcade experience, though it has its own emulation issues to be aware of. The hitboxes are a bit low, so some combos and juggles especially may not work. Sauron's arcade AI is next to comatose for some reason, even at max difficulty, but everyone else seems fine.
"Honorable Mention" Sega Saturn. The inputs are a little picky for specials, like you may have to push each specific direction rather than rotate it out. It's also comparatively more difficult to emulate. You would need Kronos or Beetle Saturn in RetroArch to run it. But - it looks and sounds really nice, the hitboxes are closer to being accurate, and the AI also gets a thumbs-up from me. It's just actually getting it running and the how it reads controller inputs make it hard to recommend.
Now feel free to read on for your specific technical issues:
//MAME//
What our good folks at MAME have not disclosed is that the newer dump of Primal Rage comes from the very rare Japanese version. This version features different special inputs, identical to what you would find on the console Midway Arcade Treasures ports (except for PC). What I've been told is that the game separates out the four attack buttons and Start, resulting in five unique buttons. As you have noticed, a fifth button is not present in the menus of MAME.
Instead what you'll want is primrageo.zip (with an o at the end, which stands for 'old' - which itself is misleading. That just means it's the worldwide 2.3 version). This version has all the traditional negative-edge special inputs.
//Midway Arcade Treasures on Windows//
MAT does in fact work on modern Windows systems without a need for patches or modification, but it's still not as straight-forward as it should be. In the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 folder, you can run primal.exe directly, but you get stretched fullscreen and you are unable to change any settings your controls. To change settings, you'll need to run ffe.exe where you get the whole shabang - Midway intro videos, and a menu to access each game of the collection. Here, scroll down to Primal Rage and go to Options. Change controls and game options to your content.
The game will function this way, but it's still in a stretched fullscreen. To fix that, you'll need the help of a tool like DXWnd or dgvoodoo, etc. to run it in a window or at a specific resolution.
After alllllll that, you should be good to go.
@@mysterygamefightclub5835 thanks so much for the information. I took your advice and got the MS-DOS version, along with the Xbox version on the emulator Xemu and the PC Midway version.
I'm having a blast on all of them 😁
@@mysterygamefightclub5835hank u for the saturn mention, thats the first port i tried to learn the game, and i was wondering why the hell it felt so inconsistent to do the moves (even just sitting holdin the buttons and doing motions)
later on i got an arcade board (several years ago so it wasnt crazy expensive) because i wanted know what the game was actually supposed to be like and it felt so much better
after time on that version, i really enjoy the ps1 version and the mat2 pc version. tho i bricked a pc because of the stupid copy protection of the PC cd version
Definitely try the Saturn version if you get a chance. I emulate using Kronos and even though the fmv cutscenes lag out, the actual graphics look the best out of any version I've tried. The dos port was a close second@@rorybackshell9580
Shhhht you're good. No way I'm gonna play against you 😅
Ooooooo I wonder if you could set up parsec so ppl like myself could fight ya or do tourneys with this?
Yes, actually - to both! Fraud Krew put on a Parsec tourney some months ago. I couldn't make it, but I have done 1v1 since this video went up.

I want this on GOG with full blown support for the Intel ARC Graphics Cards
Want to play now...
Have this been out into the public yet? I would love to play on my PC. I'm currently using MAME but this on on video looks much better.
No, unfortunately, and it's unlikely to ever be publicly available. The beta still has issues, but it's the best effort that currently exists out in the world.
All hope is not lost, though. Be sure to follow Old Man Ruckus, and let him know you love what you see. He always appreciates a kind word.
Just just to settled for the GameCube version now.
That last battle is worse than eternal on eternal champions. At least you get some health back
Sadly the GameCube Midway collection is the only way for now. Evrything else is a pain in the ass.
"Officially stopped"? Did they get sent a C&D by Warner Bros? Because that would be really stupid if true.
Details about the project are scarce, but I do know it wasn't a C&D situation. I have no clue what actually happened.
Did you have problems downloading the emulator?
I was offered the demo privately. As far as I am aware, it's not available to the public.
@@mysterygamefightclub5835 thanks
@@mysterygamefightclub5835 Hey bro who can I ask for a copy of the beta?
@@jvega6381 Check out Old Man Ruckus, and if you ask him nicely I'm sure he'd be willing to share. (see Description)
@@mysterygamefightclub5835 thank you I appreciate 👍🏼
playing it on 3DO emulator!!
I got the real arcade pcb im my mk4 cab goes for alot only paid 100$ for mines lol
I had to pay $400, twice. One PCB had bad audio, the second had bad video, so I Frankensteined the two boards into a single functioning game. 😮💨
@@mysterygamefightclub5835 shitttt 400 twice thats bs
@@mysterygamefightclub5835Im Interested in buying the broken one from you if you still have it, I love to tinker with old boards and consoles.
