Side by Side Series

Pages relating to Side by Side titles, the first part in Taito's coin-op touge racing series. All arcade games in this series run on the Taito JC System hardware.

Note

• The arcade Side by Side titles does not support coinage to be set to free play. (Not currently sure if other Taito JC System games have a similar limitation.)
• For emulator users: If you are emulating any Taito JC System game in MAME, you should be running version 0.266 with -cheat switch and overclock the maincpu, sub, and dsp CPUs to at least 200%. See the comparison with and without overclocking. Currently, Taito JC games suffer from a slowdown due to imperfect CPU emulation. Starting from version 0.267, changes in Motorola 68000 FPU emulation has made the performance worse, even overclocked.
  It is also recommended to set the master volume in Sound Test to maximum, as the default volume can be very quiet.

Warning

For the first Side by Side in particular, if you win a race with overclocked CPU as mentioned above, MAME can also crash if you reach the Congratulations screen. This is not an issue with Side by Side 2.
