What's the betting that this emulation code will instead rot in the digital equivalent of a garage somewhere?

What they did to that poor Full Scale Ridge Racer was criminal. There's absolutely no reason someone would claim preservation, but grab the mazda and let the videogame parts to rot, other than pure malice.

Well, this is a mint 93 Miata body. In a few years, it will be more valuable than the Holy Grail

Incorrect sir. The whole point of wanting to save this machine, and emulate the code is so that it will 100% be made public. As the article states, this will happen when the time is right.

I feel that often people start projects like this with the best of intentions, life gets in the way, and then the "time" is never "right". It would be better to share incomplete things early to reduce this risk.

I just remember the ps1 version. It was quite a feat to get the black car :)

Defeating the black and the white car is probably my greatest video game achievement (though that's not saying much0. Probably wouldn't have been possible without the twisty controller.
