   I'd, personally, love to see some video of both in action. As much as I   
   love those 3D backgrounds, the Saturn version's "floaty" bitmaps really   
   did a decent job...

   The Model 2 hardware is just so impressive....I mean, hell, it still is.   
   I need to give Daytona a try on the new version of Model 2 Emu, they say   
   some real changes have been made in it. I never could get it to play   
   correctly with the Saturn pad though...so I am going to try hooking up   
   the 360 controller, see if Model 2 Emu will accept its analog controls.   
   Would be great.   
      
   That guy, on YouTube, that I pissed off by saying "fuck" in one of the   
   comments of one of his videos, he's got loads of video uploaded where   
   he's racing against 7 others in networked Daytona(via Model 2 Emu 0.9).   
   That's something we should seriously look in to. I'll post the   
   instructions he sent me on WAG Forums here in a bit.

   One thing I am still on the fence about: I don't know if I like the sort   
   of blocky look of the arcade version more than the smoother look of the   
   models in the Saturn version. For example, look at Sarah's legs in the   
   Model 2 version, you can clearly see the "blocks" making them up. In the   
   Saturn version they're just smooth(not gouraud shaded mind you, but   
   still smooth). It's more apparent in Fighting Vipers, where Grace's   
   legs(or whoever, I just find myself staring at hers;) are clearly   
   showing lots of blocks in the arcade version. In the Saturn version,   
   with that gouraud shading, they are smooth.

   I don't know that I can agree with enjoying having my ass handed to me,   
   but I know what you mean. I just wish the arcade bios allowed you to   
   actually change the life bar attributes individually rather than always   
   having to go with one of the preset difficulties(easy, medium, hard,   
   etc). I love playing the game, but by the time you get to Jeffry, the AI   
   has decided that you need to go...and it proceeds to do everything in   
   its power to make this happen. I don't know that I'll ever beat Dural at   
   this rate...   
      
   BTW, has anyone figured out what is changed in Virtua Figher 2.1? You'll   
   notice that the Saturn version is 2.1, and in the arcade bios you can   
   change it to 2.1...but I've yet to read what the differences are. MAWS,   
   the Wiki, none of them seem to have this info.
