I remember playing this at Dave & Busters a long time ago! The throttle/lever controls took some getting used to, but I loved how they designed the big cabinet just like the cockpit of Anakin's podracer! Great presentation and gameplay, even if its way shorter than the console versions! That said, that logo joke was a missed oppurtunity for Watto to scream out "SEGA!" after he fixes it. :)
Thank you, Nicholas. I thought the original controllers were pretty clumsy, but they were ofcourse just like in the movie so it was all very impressive. Here I'm using rather small analog sticks on panel for a baseball game that I rewired between the IO-board and panel connectors, to play this game well. I don't have those original controllers but I was thinking of using a pair of old throttles from Afterburner or Thunderblade, they're pretty smooth and proper sized.
OMG! That game was soooo freakin' hard. I must have played that game like 20 times at the arcade and NEVER came finished first.

Young Anakin Skywalker has won the race Good Luck young Jedi And May the Force be with you
I remember that the actual Arcade version was confusing when I first played this. I mean, when the steering & throttle were basically a pair of Throttle Controls
Best 'Enter Your Name' music ever, Sheev would certainly approve.
Thank you for playing Star Wars Racer Arcade And May the Force be with you
Holy shit, I remember playing this at an arcade with my Dad when I was 7! I was sitting on his lap while in the cockpit, and we also picked Anakin Skywalker on the easy Tatooine track!
I remember playing this at Chuck E. Cheese's when I was younger, good times
May The Force Be With You!
It took me years to figure out the strategy to beat Sebulba and finish 1st on this track until recently at Skylon Tower's arcade.
3:42 You won!!!!!
GAME OVER the Race is finished
I love this arcade game. It's so rare for me to come by this classic racing game nowadays. I want it back at Dave and Buster's! This and Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. So nostalgic! I can't find this at any arcade close to where I live in the Pittsburgh area. The last one I could remember seeing in Pennsylvania was in an arcade at Hershey Park.
emulation is a beast of a way to play games with higher framerates and resolutions
This should’ve been the one ported to the Sega Dreamcast not the garbage Infograms one. Also the Sega Hikaru system also shared architecture with the Sega Dreamcast so this would’ve been an easy one to port! If Infrograms didn’t stick their nose in bringing their version home it could’ve happened
You won the race! Game over.
That was sick!
Man, this game was awesome. I wish they still made arcade games like this. It had the podracer control scheme! As awesome as the N64 game was, THIS was the experience to have.
It was hard for me to pass and drive a pod racer
I remember this game and Brave Firefighters from Chuck E. Cheese's
I remember playing Brave firefighters and Star Wars Racer. Arcade, but the firefighters is hard because with a nozzle and um. Star Wars arcade Racer with the handles. You do less than one left and right too much. And no I haven't played. These games for a very long time
On the arcade version, using throttles and everything, I got a 3:08 without using boost. Boostless record at my local arcade
Wow. Are you really that good?
Tomas Dahlgren for some reason I have a knack for the game 😂 I did take a lot of testing though. Thanks for the recognition, I’m proud of myself
It would be awesome to see a video of it.
The arcade version is really hard to win at.
I have something of a love hate relationship with this. On one hand, I love the presentation, the speed and the control method, so unique for a racing game. But the problem is that this game kept crashing when I played it. It's a real shame. I didn't lose a whole lot of money on it or nothing, but I actually wanted to play, it was so cool looking.
Probably had some intermittent connections problem, or the PSU / power feed wasn't stable. Big shame on the operator for not maintaining the game properly.
The true Star war racer was by sega, not(boring N64 version)!! Dam power graphics of arcade Sega Hikaru best than arcade board sega model 3!! 😮😮

how would you compare this game to the Dreamcast/N64/PC versions?
We don't.
Simple : Dreamcast/N64/PC version >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Arcade. On PC 900 km/h = 900 km/h. On Arcade 900 km/h = 80 km/h
Consoles and PC don't give the metric units. It's absent so we don't know for sure if it is km/h
It is possible to rely on the Sega Arcades and see clearly the abrupt speed difference comparing to Daytona, Indy 500, Sega Rally, and so on. It is even possible to base on the walls (sides) and see that the same distance is traveled much faster in the PC version. SEGA made a lot of mistakes by reducing the feeling of speed in that game to make it easier to ride. Take the PC version, put on the Boonta Classic track and you'll see what 700, 800 or even 900km / h really are.
Pc is best even better than the switch one
Thanks for the footage. This looks better than any of the home ports.
You're welcome. I wasn't aware of any home ports.
Tomas Dahlgren I think he's referring to Episode 1 Racer which isn't a port of this. It's an amazing game imo
Right. There was one Star Wars Racer for windows98, I still have it on a CD somewhere.
Good news for anyone interested in that Windows 98 version, there's a modernized version of it recently released on gog.com that'll work just fine on modern Windows systems. Sadly still no way to experience the arcade version on PC yet... I think the 98 version feels faster but I spent a lot more time on the cabinet at the local arcade which miraculously is still standing (with a lap record for Sebulba on Tatooine Easy with my initials that still hasn't been toppled in the last 15 years :), and the arcade version felt way more like what you saw in the movie, not just because of the better graphics, but because the podracers had a feeling of momentum and inertia to them that I just didn't really get in the PC version.
@@BDNeon Current WR is 2'54"665 on easy.
this should have been the version ported to dreamcast, not the n64 one
love anakin's engine sounds, never hear that shit anywhere i swear
Say what you will about the acting and plot of the prequels, but the sounds they crafted for the trilogy were top tier.
I Tried Accessing www.sega.co.jp/racer/ But It Says 404 Page Not Found
Wait, this is similar to the Lego version!!!!
Ok, I'll wait.
...
I am still waiting.
how come i never saw this game!!
(Watto hums cantina song)
Star Wars and Sega go well...
Nice race! 3:03 is my best so far not even top 10 at my arcade :(
I still love it (Joy (Jennifer Lawrence) with Oz the Great and Powerful Oz and Anastasia/Chipotle on Pokémon/Sean Hussey as Indiana Jones).
Looks like a GameCube game
Really? I would say more like a Dreamcast game.
It uses a 200 MHz clocked CPU for the game, like the GameCube
@@solarflare9078 What if it would come on Gamecube
I'm using Demul, but mine don't look this good. I wish I could get mine to look like this. How you do it?
Game is Sega's Star Wars Racer on the Hikaru system. What is "Demul"?
Demul 0.7 is a program that runs Hikaru and Star Wars Racer Arcade. But it doesn't look as good as yours. Are you playing this through your PC?
No, wait a sec.... You need this www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=724 - it's the Hikaru game board. I am recording the vids straight from the hardware.
OK, so you're running the game board through a PC?
Yeah. But the PC outputs the picture onto my game screen in the cabinet. So when I play it's actually the windows fullscreen captured image. I'll show you a pic of my setup here: www.albyhus2.se/_eget/Recording/The_setup_01.jpg
And here's how it looks when playing: www.albyhus2.se/_eget/Recording/The_setup_03.jpg
The final clip I then convert to larger format maintaining the 60 fps, so that youtube will show the clip at 60fps. The original capture it 640x480 something.
What arcade board was this? Model 2/3? And where can I play it today? Is it available in pc/console ?
Source: SEGA HIKARU ...
You can play this game with the Demul Emulator, and the ROM from SW RA, but stay advised that you need a powerfull Pc to run the game decently, and the graphics are lacking the shadows, so it becomes quite creepy!
Sebulba: POODOO
It was released same time as the video game versions on the pc switch and dream cast it was cancelled on the ps1 because they probs put more effort on them consoles and the arcade machine does it just have the one track the arcade I could not even pass to get first or 2nd they should of made the arcade game more fair 4 laps they should of runned the 4 laps like the video game but not seconds timer on
This doesn't compare to the N64/PC version at all. Feels so different.
Of course its different, its a different goddamn game! The only thing it shares is the subject matter.
for PC only?
Source is the SEGA HIKARU game system.
i am trying to find a copy of this to put in my pod cabinet as the pcb keeps shorting anyone point me in the direction or reach out?
You have the starwars racer cabinet and you need a spare board?
With a bit of luck you can find one at your local operator's, or sometimes on ebay. Or have a look at Yahoo Auctions. These boards are very rare today, why don't you go through yours to see what the problem is?
Tell me about it why I was looking into emulation guess I'll settle with the n64 until I cananage a board
Why not just find out what the problem is with your current board? The problem may not even be your board, it could be your PSU, the cables, some fan, some interconnection between the ROM board /main board.
Never understood why this has never been ported to console? It was well good in the arcades & racer revenge didn't look half as good!
Yes, I think the tracks in the console versions lack realism. By realism I mean textures and surroundings which provide players with some sort of reference to an actual place, not the actual shape of the track, though I find the console tracks a bit too outrageous. I guess they didn't want to make that same game on the consoles so they made new tracks which weren't as realistic or detailed as in SEGA's original version. Remember that SEGA's version of the game resembles the actual film, where on the consoles you get simpler abstract of the environments, but a whole bunch of insanely wild tracks.
Especially considering that the Hikaru board had a lot in common with the Dreamcast hardware. It would have been an incredibly easy port for Sega.
Was this done over Demul or MAME?

@@uncletom1971 so this was done on the machine itself? I'm not sure I follow
Ohyes, Hikaru hooked up to a SEGA JVS cabinet (NNC), game played with a 2-player analog stick modified controlpanel for a baseball game.
.. I think I have a video of that too.. somewhere.
OK, that video is not online. I had the game running on my NNC cabinet with a capture-PC along side it to capture the game play. It was a temporary setup.I have several original arcade systems from Sega, Namco, Konami... and maybe a total of 500 game boards.
Puede jugar el Pc Windows 11??? Gracias!!
Sorry. We don't use windows.
where can i get this for PC
There are several versions made on other platforms, this one is Hikaru and is not available for PC as such. It may be emulated on PC though, you have to check.
The controllers were the worst part
You mean the original speed levers? Well, I used a pair of smaller analog sticks from Sanwa, originally used in SEGA's baseball game on the naomi. They worked great.
donwload link ?
Dont' know. Check the emulation sites. This is Hikaru.
You must be rich ;)
Thank you Sid, you flatter me. Well, not rich in any financial way. I have a job, a car, a bike, my health and I am fairly happy with my life. Perhaps rich in spirit, ideas about fun. I could still find some things to complain about. But that's life, a challenge which keeps us all busy, and hopefully away from boredom.
@@uncletom1971 pardon me I meant nothing disrespectful on the contrary.. bless you and your family .. keep up the good things
Thank you, Sid. And the same to you.
@@uncletom1971 not rich? Very small UA-camrs say they earn like $6000 in 2 months
For your info, dudes, I don't make any money on youtube. What little adverts pop up in this clip is due to the game's usage of patended music from the film. I get plain squat to my bank account. I did this video to show the awesome game that SEGA made back in the day when games were games, and not bloated chunks of CG animation. So there you go, I'm not rich other than I can afford my monthly dues, as well as a limited amount of toys that make my life appear happier than it really is. Now go get some fresh air and sunshine, and have a rest from the computer screen. It tends to make you 'see things' that aren't real. Cheers!
