hello
there is force feedback for the other races , not the first one, the most famous lol
although they are less interesting it is funny

Run ddx_d3d.exe to set game to direct 3d

intructions for direct 3d , dl dgvoodoo

Unzip these three files from the zip to your Daytona game folder:

dgVoodooCpl.exe
DDraw.dll (located inside the MS folder)
D3DImm.dll (same)

Run the dgVoodooCpl.exe, add game folder destination and check windowed option.
you can increase the quality in the d3d settings

Direct3D 12 API
2x Antialiasing in Glide and DirectX
2x Resolution DirectX

For those who still has their game running in inconsistent speed and no music, please make sure your virtual disk drive is in F: which you can set it in your virtual CD drive software (Daemon Tools is recommended).

It is also important to keep in mind that you need to mount the disc every time you want to run it.

It works for any SEGA games as well* (VCOP2, DAYTONA, VON) so do keep this in mind.

*except HOTD1

I got the game to run perfectly, but still no music I tired mounting it with wincdemu but still no music, above post about DAEMON tools is probably the only way to get the music working. The game should run for you if you follow setup from my video https://youtu.be/BsW4gIWVxLk
give it a shot hope this helps people that want to play this it is awesome game. I owned it on the Sega Saturn and remember having access to a horse once you completed the game. Don't know if its possible with the pc version.

Anyone who is having trouble with game audio! Mount ISO image with DAEMON tools and game audio should run fine. I tried other mounting software and did not work. Only DAEMON tools.

Daytona USA needs the CD to be in the A: drive for music to work. To get music working do this:
1. Mount the ISO with something like Daemon tools
2. Open "Computer Management" as an administrator
3. click Storage Disk Management
4. right click the Daytona drive
5. Click "Change drive letter", Click change button and set the drive to A.
6. Run Daytona and music should be working.

Very faithful port to the arcade original. So much easier to control (steering is less sensitive) and looks... decent for Win 95. All in all, if you're looking for a fun arcade racer and you don't feel like heading to a Dave and Buster's that MIGHT have a Daytona cabinet, then this game is for you.

Fun game! No music for some reason though. Can't get that or the mouse to work to change some control settings. Still worth the download. Thanks!

To help those who have this on Win7.

Pressing alt allows you to control the menu above.
Enter allows you to make changes.

Controlling the car:
Arrows. L/R = left and right. U/D = changing gears.

If the game installer throws you any weird codes when installing it, ignore them if the installation appears to complete before showing an error. The game should run on Windows 10 without issue. (At the very least, it has a ''Works on my Machine™" Certification.)
A fun game to play during a Corona Vacation/Layoff. This a mostly-faithful albeit watered-down version of an arcade classic. Fun in a pinch if you're too lazy to install and get MAME running or too cheap to buy an Xbox to play one game from 1994, but lacks the nuance of the original game's controls with significantly downgraded graphics equivalent to the Saturn version. Since this port predates USB, your controller will likely not work. Worst of all, the iconic Mitsuyoshi soundtrack is nowhere to be heard.
