Just a question about RAINE and Sega System 16/18 games

[Neville]

A few days ago I was writing a comment on a different board comparing different arcade emulators, and then it hit me that RAINE doesn't support Sega System 16/18 games such as Golden Axe, Out Run or Afterburner.

I'm wondering why, that's all. They were never considered, is emulation too complex or are other reasons I haven't guessed?

No specific reason, I just never tried it, the goal of raine has never been to emulate everything, it's quite a lot of work usually even with some info from mame because we make things quite differently, so I was adding stuff only when I had some good dose of motivation, even if I played in the arcades these games a long time ago I never had the idea to try to add them to raine.

I guess that settles it. Thanks for answering.

Hey, with all the buzz around AI lately, and particularly around Claude for coding, I had the idea to ask it first if it would be able to write a raine driver, the answer was surprisingly yes, and it gave a long commented source as an example.

So I pointed it to this thread, and asked him if he would be able to give a base driver for these games. And since this thing fears nothing, the answer was again yes, with a bold source to start the emulation for golden axe !

It's based on the mame source for the info but he made an impressive conversion work, even if there are a few small mistakes and it's still just a start, this kind of driver is very complex, but it's an impressive start nonetheless.

I won't post his direct answer here because I asked in french so the answer was in french, with comments in french in the proposed source, but it's easy to get the same answer by asking the same questions. I did it from the AI interface built inside firefox, I had chosen Claude, basic connection using just my google account that's all.

I've never used AI, and some of them make horrendous mistakes, but Claude seems to have a better reputation than some of the others.

The question is, does this new driver work?
