LTTP: F-Zero GX

Lawd have mercy.
My favorite track is still Cosmo Terminal.
There are at least three songs that I really love:
Feel our Pain (Fire Field) (Absolutely references the F Zero-X (F0X?) soundtrack and takes it up to eleven)
ZEN (Aeropolis) (I don't know why I really love it, Aeropolis being my favorite track in GX surely helps)
Shotgun Kiss (Vegas Palace) (Jazzy track with a nice beat, I just like it)

F-Zero 3DX. A collaboration between Sega AM2 and Nintendo.
Come on Iwata, its time for a megaton.

Haha so did I.
Man this game was/is so great. I was able to beat Story Mode, even on hard, but the AX tracks have always eluded me.
Whats your rig and dolphin version?
I'd play that if I want to break my 3DS buttons.

Screw Drive was a bit simplistic but Multiplex and Dragon Slope are two of the best tracks in GX. You could call either "the best track" and I couldn't argue with it.

There were also 2 versions of the cabinet, standard and deluxe.

Yea, F-Zero GX was gold. I love it so much. I love pretty much any installment in the series, though, since they're all such great racing games. Here's to hope they'll make a new game for the 3DS or the Wii-U.
In any case, I don't know if it was posted or if the old site still exists (and I am too lazy to check), but it had one awesome feature, which was the flash machine guide. It doesn't contain the AX machines, but hey, still pretty cool.
Here's the download:

Hehe, Driving Through On Max starts playing in my head every time I see this thread.
Anyways, the whole series is amazing and Nintendo should try to leverage it as one of their hardcore series on Wii U. 30-man races at 60 FPS with leaderboards would already be a feat that completely outclasses anything done on consoles so far.
Then you've got all the creative potential of the Wii U controller; custom tracks, custom racer logos, even custom cars could be molded to the player's liking and give everyone a sense of identity that has only been seen in WRPGs.
If the game really takes off, the community could even organize an annual F-Zero Grand Prix with a mix of official and custom tracks that have been approved by a committee of sorts.

Just realized the game will be 10 years old in about a year. GOT DAMN.
Play it on Dolphin at 60 FPS all the time and its amazing how well it holds up to this very day.
Nintendo Publishers = GODLIKE.

I would be content with an HD version of this game on WiiU and online.
Greetings impact. Just curious but why would you think I'm on cocaine just for stating what is an bovious fact?
I'm glad someone agrees with me
maybe you could upload some screens?
I will when I get a chance
Nice pic.
OK guys I will answer your questions...
First off, here are my specs....
Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel Core i7 950 OC'ed to 4.0Ghz
AMD 1GB 5870
6GB DDR3 ram
2TB HDD
I am using DefenderX's build of Dolphin. I implore ALL of you to use either his build or Lectrode's build!
Here is a very important thread on F-ZeroGX that you MUST read and offers a lot of very helpful information. I was struggling to get the game to run properly until those guys offered some very VERY good tips!!!

I am getting 60fps 95% of the time except for the tunnel in Sand Ocean and couple tiny places in Big Blue here and there.
I literally cannot express into words how fucking amazing this game looks!!! I mean mezmorizing doesn't begin to come close. Uncharted 3? Pfft, Crsys 1 and 2? Pffftt, Skyrim with mods? Pffft....like I said, NONE of them come close. You may think I'm on drugs, but I'm not. I hate drugs! I am not insane and my brain is perfectly fine. I say all of this with a perfect amount if sanity.
F-ZeroGX is the best looking videogame.....EVER!!!!! That is not a debate, that is a FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh a F-Zero GX appreciation thread 
I'm the proud owner of a 100% save of that game, may my memory card never die.
Fuck chapter 8 on very hard, fuck it. After chapter 7 on very hard I thought I had seen everything but noooooo that thing made me give up on that game. then 5 years later at college for some reason I decided to put it back in... Followed one of the worst week of my life but god damn it when I finally beat it I felt like I could take on the gods of Olympus and make Kratos looks like a baby.
Now every once in a while I do the AX cup on MASTER and troll the AI, some of the best tracks of the game in there and nothing beats crossing the finish line first with a golden skull, well apart from doing it on the AX arcade machine
, I hope it's still there when I go back in Japan.
But for now I really need to get a desktop to run that beauty on dolphin emu

p.s. Daytona 2 is better
Daytona 2 of course may be the better driving game from a gameplay perspective, but I'm talking in terms of sheer eye-pleasure. It's really close between these two visually, but I just personally prefer the art design and atmosphere of F-Zero GX. Also as a racing game it is also excellent. Check it out you'd be surprised.
Oh and accomplish very hard? LOL....yeah sure, in my dreams! Or perhaps in the next life :lol:

Execellent post MTW. I suggest getting the latest builds of Dolphin and going to *THIS* thread for some good tips on how to get the game running well. It DOES have some slowdown here and there, but that cannot be helped right now, and they are working hard on optimizing the emu and it's getting better every day.
As for WipEout HD Fury, I've already beat you to the punch, dude
In fact I bought it *because* I was in fact looking for a good alternative to F-ZeroGX. I have to say, the visuals do look nice but I haven't seen all the tracks yet to make a fair comparison. I can say however, from what I've seen of the first few tracks, it doesn't hold a candle to F-Zero GX's graphics. It's not as "wild" or "sexy" as F-Zero GX. F-Zero GX's graphics simple EXUDES style, class and all around sexiness! The way it looks in Dolphin makes you believe you are THERE! Right on the track in some stylish deep space city surrounded by scenery only Nagoshi-san can conjure up in that crazy mind of his. It's just flawless to me.
I'd pledge and pay $100 for this. Kickstarter!
I hope SEGA and Nintendo read GAF.
heh, seeing this topic has made me recall something.
what's everyone's ticket count in their GX save datas?
here's my own cards:
main card: 12507 tickets accumulated and everything purchased in the shop. this is my main time attack card and has every staff ghost beaten.
secondary card #1: 23100 tickets accumulated and several staff ghosts missing since i have no TT times here aside from a few snaking times. this card is where i got every interview recorded back in 2004.
secondary card #2: 2474 tickets accumulated and everything purchased. this card has my Story mode times.
secondary card #3: 445 tickets accumulated. this is the card that i used in the AX machine. nothing is unlocked here aside from the AX tracks and characters and beating story mode in normal.
this could be interesting...

F-Zero GX is my favorite racing game of all time. I've been a lurker at GAF for ages, but this thread made me actually post something. )
Wish I could emulate the game, but I have no room or money for a machine that could do it. And my Gamecube still works just fine, so it's OK.

Yeah, if you cannot afford to upgrade and already have your gamecube connected and ready to play the game, then there's no big hurry. But once you DO see it in the emu at Hi-res, I promise you WILL shit your pants!!!
Dolphin runs much better on Intel architecture than AMD architecture, and F-Zero is a resource-hungry game. (Which makes sense, considering how good it looks at 60 FPS on a Gamecube.)

Well, no HD, but the game already supports anamorphic widescreen in 480p when the majority of games were stuck with 480i 4:3.
BEST. GAME. EVER.
I also loved AX cab, but man it was super difficult to pilot your F-0 ship with it moving (you could lock it tho it wouldn't have been as fun) so it was more for the novelty/coolness of the cab more than anything, the GC pad is still the best way to ger serious with the game (GX).
You can also unlock AX tracks in GX.

Wait, it's up and running @1080p/60 on Dolphin?! The freakin' wiki said it was a bugged mess last time I checked (3 or 4 weeks ago). Can you share your experience with the game (glitches/fps/aa/rez on Dolphin (also build/settings, if possible)?
Merged back into Sega. I think they are AM4...wait I just checked Wikipedia (not sure how reliable) they are now know as CS1 who make the Yakuza Series.
Nagoshi exists. But most of the team is not together anymore. Not to mention the additional companies subcontracted to help develop the game.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION/REQUEST TO MAKE!!!!!!!!
If you're like me and enjoy watching how other fellow F-Zero GX players do their driving, then you will no doubt appreciate this suggestion....let's start sharing and trading our Movies via the Dolphin emulator!!!!! That's right....Dolphin allows us to record us playing any Wii or GameCube game, and saves it into what is called an "input" file. This is not an actual video file that you watch in Windows Media Player or anything, this is a file that plays back the players recorded inputs from *within* the actual game via the emulator!!!! That means there are SEVERAL benefits over a video or mpg file....
A)The input file is much MUCH smaller. An average of maybe 3 to 4 mb!!!
B)The input file is being played from WITHIN the game itself, therefore the "video quality", if you wanna call it that, is 100x better than any video or mpg file could be, since you're watching the actual game being played, only by someone else!!!
Recording movies in Dolphin couldn't be easier.....simply highlight the game in the game list, then click "Start recording" and you're good to go!!! Works flawlessly and the file size is VERY tiny at a mere 1mb or so.
This is an AWESOME feature from Dolphin and I want to celebrate F-Zero GX's greatness by sharing input or "movie" files with you guys, so we can maybe compare times and stuff like that.
OK guys so I'll go first.... here is a TAS Dolphin Movie file I've uploaded. This is just a test run and I want to make sure it works on your end before recording a bigger "movie". Check it out and if it works, try doing one and uploading it here. Maybe a full run through one of the grand prix modes or something.
LET'S DO THIS!!!!!
