That yellow lit tunnel is so iconic. Nothing beats an Arcade racers. Reminds me of my bowling alley who had the full sized one. I mean the FULL size. Huge projector and full size mazda mx5. It took up a whole room. Unfortunately it was so expensive no one hardly used it.
I really appreciate that a lot, thank you! I agree, the graphics aren't too bad at all for being 24 years old! Thanks for the awesome comment and hope you have a great weekend!
@@user-yk1cw8im4hwell for some people it is just great to be able to play the arcade machine at home. some games like this one are available on console but some aren't. i once played initial-d on my naomi cabinet with a hacked up dreamcast steering wheel wich was amazing, cause at least in europe we had no initial-d console port😊
Always a good day when Luke uploads a video. I haven’t played Ridge Racer since the first one on the PS1 back when early PS1 games came in those “long cases”. I remember renting Ridge Racer with my friends back when it was new on the PS1. Good times. I miss the 90s.
I can't say thanks enough for that, really makes my day. Ohh! the original PS and Ridge Racer was amazing when it first came out and I rented them as well! Those were indeed some fun times. Thanks for the skip down memory lane :)
Very cool to see this version again. I love the PS2 version, but have only played the arcade port around 2001 when our local Namco Arcade got one. I couldn't remember much of it--it seems like it's basically the same engine, intro and music, but arranged more in a classic RR arcade format. It also seems faster than the beginning parts of the PS2 game, which is cool. I'd love to get my hands on one of these!
Ridge Racer V in the arcade format, minus the extras like Duel, Free Run and Pac-Man GP. Also the last arcade release in the series, though Arcade Battle came out several months after the PS2 version.
I was thrown for a loop when I thought you posted this before, so I'll just loosely repeat what I might have said before: I'm surprised your place isn't burned down with that thing lol. Jokes aside, it's good to enjoy the ridge racer stuff! I'm sure it took a good amount of time to get it set up in the first place, hence why you did the wire up tip video. I don't know if you ever saw the Initial D arcade stuff but some of them were on the Naomi. I think Sega published most of them. Pretty cool stuff, enjoy yourself!
veerry good arcade gameplay luke, i love it 😁 great to see your videos. also i miss social videos that you take years ago, cycling, walking in the streets. take care bro.
Always wanted to try this as a huge RR fan, and of V in particular. Find it pretty desirable due to having a unit and language selector while retaining 60hz. Sucks that it can only run in 480i though. I also hear the handling has been tweaked a bit for the arcades compared to the console release.
Looking good Luke!🏁 😎🤟 I find running RRV on my Japanese PS2 via component out into my capture setup (which only upscales again via pass thru to 1080p) gives a really crisp and clean looking output, arguably it even looks better than the native 480i on my CRTs. I luckily get Similar results with PS2 VF4 and DOA2 also. Nice 👍
can eleborate what capture device are using , am I going to see picture an improovement if I plugin hdmi cable form bc ps3 to capture device pluged into tv
How "strong" is your force feed back with that steering wheel. I got a actual cabinet im working on and am curious if its actually super noticable or not mines not atm.
There is a way to actually 'drift' with the E.O. if you know what you're doing. It's a bit tricky due to the constant sliding around motion of the car (not sure how the handling is different on this arcade machine), but if you let off the accel, turn hard left/right, then within a fraction of a second step back on the accel and counter-steer in the direction you want to go, you can make E.O. travel around 220-250 Km/H around the corners, bud.
@@Ronin-0811 Im greatly appreciate that and it makes me happy to know that the videos can be enjoyed. Namco really did chose a cool mascot with Ai for sure! hope you have a great day and thank for the support
3AM here in the UK and Im having a tipple after finishing work at midnight and a Luke notification comes up - always good. Would these results have got you all that on one credit or is it because its on freeplay?
I meant Ridge Racer V specifically. I know ridge racer started in the arcade, but I thought V was like Revolution where it was made only for PlayStation.
Haha, one of the keys is selling or trading off the old equipment for the next project piece. Also only having the boards and not full cabinets helps out a lot. As for this setup, I already had the board but I needed the steering part. This thing is a bit bulky though so I might have to remove the wheel when I store it away 😅
@@simon_1987 She also became a hardware engineer and in time, shared his love of the arcade. They now spend all their free time together repairing boards and are very happy.
I'm sorry but I will not be discussing situations regarding personal details, family, politics, religion, gender etc on social media and I think it's a good idea that others avoid them as well. Social media wasnt the place to talk about these topics 10 years ago and it certainly isn't now.

Dude basically did what most of us all dreames of....moved to japan and bought awesome games.
We so need a "proper" new installment in the Ridge Racer franchise. come on Namco, take my money!!!
Haha, definitely! It really has been quite some time for sure

You playing Ridge Racer V on real hardware is a huge W. I have this on PS2 and the graphics hold really nice almost 25 years later awesome job man.
I really appreciate that a lot, thank you! I agree, the graphics aren't too bad at all for being 24 years old! Thanks for the awesome comment and hope you have a great weekend!
What’s the point in having all this bulk when the ps2 version is the same?
@@user-yk1cw8im4hwell for some people it is just great to be able to play the arcade machine at home. some games like this one are available on console but some aren't. i once played initial-d on my naomi cabinet with a hacked up dreamcast steering wheel wich was amazing, cause at least in europe we had no initial-d console port😊
@@user-yk1cw8im4hbecause it’s cool. And it’s also probably not 100% the same.
Everyone: "I'm gonna play some Ridge Racer V on my PS2".... Luke: "I'm gonna play some Ridge Racer V on my massive rig"
Haha, yeah, I should try to blend in a bit more rather than this 😅

@@lukemorse1 No problem! It's always fun to relive the nostalgic gaming days. It was an amazing time to be a gamer in the 90s and the early 2000s.
=D The last Ridge Racer I played was the 3DS version - that was cool!
Man i love the Ridge Racer series i hope they make a new one,i think this was the last RR on arcade hardware.
I think it's been like 15 years since I subscribed to this channel
Can't believe it's been over 10 years since the last Ridge Racer game.

Your content was what made me want to get a blast city all those years ago. Just finally got one of my own with a Naomi. Feels really good.
Always wanted to see / play a Ridge Racer V Arcade machine. Looking good Luke!
Feel like I've been watching this channel since this game was current😅
Keep up the great work Luke!

Nice Luke! I’ve read that the Namco System 246 hardware was based on the PS2.
great vid. breaks my heart this was the last arcade rr, this game was brutal compared to what came after.
Tell me about it... I would hope that eventually Namco will revisit the series and make another one (that's fun) in the near future.
veerry good arcade gameplay luke, i love it 😁 great to see your videos. also i miss social videos that you take years ago, cycling, walking in the streets. take care bro.
Great set and great game....Thanks for share the video.

hehe, that was awesome... best commentary as always ^^
also, in germany we say "wer bremst verliert".
thx for this vid, master luke.

Love me some Ridge Racer.

Really cool to hear about the set up man!
I've seen your captures and they look great!
I'm all about these crude setups as you know lol 😂
@@lukemorse1I love seeing the old school original hardware set up, it's great it's still functioning! 😎🏁👍

As an old soul person for 2000, Luke this is absolutely gold 🪙
Awesome stuff bro! I still need to setup controls for mine lol 💯
Thanks brother. If you run into any trouble (which I'm sure you won't), feel free to hollar 😊
Hmm i might try the game in my jambo safari cab
Love watching your content. Nothing beats the Arcade experience. Any differences between the Ps2 and Arcade versions?

Thank you!!

Can we have another room tour?
love it
3AM here in the UK and Im having a tipple after finishing work at midnight and a Luke notification comes up - always good.
Would these results have got you all that on one credit or is it because its on freeplay?
Wow that is one loud system!
Had no idea this game had an arcade version
it was always an arcade game that has console versions.
I meant Ridge Racer V specifically. I know ridge racer started in the arcade, but I thought V was like Revolution where it was made only for PlayStation.
@@andrewT23 nope :)
Wow that’s an awesome game. Only have experience with PS2 release game.
I mean as far as I know you've lived in Japan since for basically forever. How can you have all this stuff? You have like five storage units lol
Haha, one of the keys is selling or trading off the old equipment for the next project piece. Also only having the boards and not full cabinets helps out a lot. As for this setup, I already had the board but I needed the steering part. This thing is a bit bulky though so I might have to remove the wheel when I store it away 😅
Will you ever go back to making videos when you're out and about?
Are you still in japan? Did you sort things out with your wife? I remember 10 years ago shee said you have too much stuff.
don't all wifes say that?😂
@@MetalTiger88 pretty much haha. I think he had a son too. Just nosey wanted to know his family life was all good now
@@simon_1987 She also became a hardware engineer and in time, shared his love of the arcade. They now spend all their free time together repairing boards and are very happy.
