- Real arcade hardware recorded using the Elgato Camlink 4K and the OSSC. 1080p60 FPS
Real arcade hardware, NOT the PlayStation 2 port of the game!!!! Even though, it’s an exact port, minus optical Guncon 2 support for the PlayStation 2 port. The arcade version uses a CD as opposed to the PlayStation 2 version which uses a DVD.
I was finally able to get the arcade version of Vampire Night working with my custom IR gun and the Crisis Zone CCD camera. Vampire night was released in March of 2000 in two style arcade cabinets: Standard and Deluxe. This game uses both the Namco Rays JVS Pcb and a variation of the Namco V221 MIU pcb similar to Crisis Zone’s I/O but with a different program eprom and FPGA Altera max chip. The arcade game is NOT an optical light gun game but a CCD camera game. Vampire Night originally released on the Namco System 246 (A) pcb but I got it to run on the Namco System 246(B) pcb (works on all revisions of the Namco system 246 hardware Ver.Driving to Ver.C. It’s not compatible with the Namco System 256 or Super 256. Since I don’t have the real dongle, I’m using the Namco System 2X6 USB multi-dongle, which is available for purchase on the arcade-projects site. Prices for the custom guns and gun sensors will be available soon.
Game: Vampire Night (2000) by SEGA, WOW Entertainment and NAMCO
Arcade System: Namco System 246 - Hry
Such a rare game. Only ever seen one in the early 00s
A bowling alley near where I live had this in it's arcade. The bowling alley's been replaced with something else now, I liked bowling there...
I gotta love the arcade version better than the PS2 version there is a difference with the reload voice great video man! :)
I agree. The reload voice in the PS2 game was like HOTD3 and I wasn't very happy. The arcade version has that unique echo that I love.
The gameplay is fun but could be more challenging. I'd rate the game 8.5/10
After seeing this, you gotta hand it to the porting team for the PS2, it's pretty much identical to the arcade version, I'm not seeing any noticeable visual differences apart from the ever so slightly sharper texture resolution. I imagine the namco system 246 had almost similar specs to the playstation 2? Good vid man
The early Namco system 246 (A/B) is basically an early GH-005/006 launch PlayStation 2 motherboard with a custom bios and a custom Namco motherboard with extra ram in a huge metal case. The Namco system 246(C) was a smaller version with a custom one board solution to cut down cost. I think this game was originally supposed to be a Sega NAOMI game but was released onto this arcade system for easier porting to the PlayStation 2. I actually have a launch fat PlayStation 2 with the exact same motherboard that the arcade system uses. Thank you so much as well!
I was just gonna say all Namco system 246 games that were ported to the PS2 back in the day were arcade perfect, I mean look at time crisis 3 it was the arcade version exact on the PS2, and vampire night is DEFINITELY arcade perfect, a pixel perfect port ❤️
They actually are not 100% perfect, there are minor differences between some games such as Time Crisis 3 arcade version having 60FPS cutscenes instead of 30FPS like on the console port and Vampire Knight supporting more sprites on screen in the arcade version unlike the console version. I get your point that they are pixel perfect as the arcade hardware is basically a PlayStation 2 with a few modifications/upgrades but yeah, the arcade ports still remain a bit better IMO.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade but sitll you’ve got to give it to the PS2 it literally gives you the arcade game right in your own home without dropping 10 thousand dollars on the huge massive arcade machine to fit inside your home lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yep! You’re absolutely right bro 😎
Beautiful game, loved playing it on the ps2.
First time I've seen the arcade version since 2001 this is wild! For some reason my brain was convinced they slowed down the PS2 version and made it easier but after watching this it appears it was just false memories on my end!
I never knew it had a different reload voice
I haven’t noticed that until now lol! I do have the PlayStation 2 version of the game and I really enjoy it. The only downside is that I have to use a CRT tv. I must say, the arcade version plays a lot better, the gun calibration though, it’s a pain in the ass, even if the camera moves slightly. Finding the game,the I/O board, and the gun is another issue. Hoped you enjoyed this video :)
Ditto with the "Life Up" voice.
it uses from the arcade version from hotd 3
The reload voice sounds like the one from Virtua Cop 2.
@@FumieBasketTV This came out a few years before HOTD 3
I remembered people used to line up to play this game in the aracdes back in 2001/2002 but they didn't knew that they lined up to play PS2 version inside arcade cabinet the Guncon 2 just gave that hint away thanks to your info.
But man that complicated setup was THE reason why the aracde centers in my country never received the real arcade unit, it sounded needlessly complicated, I bet tried to get a capture out of this must have been quite a work.
I didn't know PS2 version were that jaggied so I guess they did improved the game's visual and performance for the home release as well Namco back then were known to pulled some amazing enhanced ports, Time Crisis 2 and Time Crisis Crisis Zone on PS2 were the best examples.
Nowadays its much better to to play this on PS2 with Guncon 2 or PCSX2 at 1440p or 4K.
Cool!
I would have been all about this game, but I don't think I've ever seen in the arcade.
they have a tendency to walk up stairs backwards
Nunca conocí este juego pero parece entretenido una mezcla de the house of the Dead con time crisis, ahí fue mi infancia perdida 😭
Unfortunately don't have a PS2 to relive the glory of this game but emulation with a Wii gun was close enough with few hickups
Vampire Night may be a one off game but it certainly could've made it big with a sequel like House of the Dead 2 did for House of the Dead 1
But alas, it has a special place in my heart
I seriously wish this game had a sequel or a remaster
Loved this game
This needs to be ported to pc or to ps5 maybe
Please upload a 2 player gameplay!!!!! This was one of the best games ive ever played!!
since my first experience with rail shooter arcade game, Namco is still the best. This is the reason why i never played any arcade shooter except i see Namco logo on their arcade booth.
I like your videos! And i love this game. I never played this game on the real arcade. I am wondering what is your actual lightgun to play all thoses. games. I have seen that you speak about a custom ir lightgun. It is Gun4ir?
Hello! Thank you for the meaningful comment! I really appreciate it! I’m actually using a custom built gun and the real arcade hardware as the gun it uses is extremely rare. I reversed engineered and built a gun that works with these games as they use a completely different setup. These are not traditional optical light gun games but instead CCD camera games. That’s why no white flashes appear. The only other games that utilizes this gun setup is Crisis Zone and a variant of Time Crisis 3.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade ok thanks. Very interesting! I guess it is very accurate and low latency. Does it need ir sensors around the screen or do you play on crt screens ?
I got a video on my CZcams channel show off my gun. It in fact uses an old school camera (basically a security camera) that points on the display and the gun has a very powerful IR led inside. It’s totally different from what modern light gun games use today. It’s not really too accurate as if sunlight/any source of light hits the display it can cause issues. Also the camera has to be pointed to the screen. Any display can be used, I was using an lcd monitor to play. The I/O board does all the signal processing. The only sad thing is that the I/O boards are incredibly rare.
Here’s the video showing my gun:czcams.com/video/dMNHaA9ShzU/video.html
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade and did you try to use 2 guns of the same kind at a time? Anyway it’s interesting. I already heard of a lightgun system using a ccd camera looking to the screen when an ir ray is trown by the gun .your system look close enough to this one.
Pretty neat horror game!
뱀파이어의 밤 (2000)
I'm so glad I found this game on Amazon for 20 dollars!
Awesome! From what I have seen, this game is becoming expensive :)
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Yeah I had to shop around and compare prices! Average price I found was between 40 to 60
That’s crazy! I have seen them go up to at least $100! You are a lucky dude! :D
Ninja assault is also another light gun gem! It’s also becoming pretty expensive as well!
Will this system ever be emulated? It is supposed to use a similar hardware to playstation 2
You are partially correct, the thing that’s killing the likelihood of ever seeing this system being emulated is the custom Namco chips on the Namco motherboard and the implementation of the dongle files and the way it boots on the system. The Konami stuff is even worse as the hard drives they used are encrypted by Sony’s MagicGate system. Not even replacement hard drives for real arcade systems can be made for the Konami hardware. Luckily, a lot of information has been uncovered and a lot of people are pretty interested, so emulation should be possible in 5 years, give or take. If not, probably another decade or so. The only way to play the games is either the home ports or getting the actual arcade hardware.
original xbox emulation took FOREVER, to run games but then they got it running, never say never!
You can't download it on PC right?
I think this one push another level of creativity from WOW Entertainment.
Even some SFX was the same with House Of The Dead Sega.
I’ve never even seen this game in the arcades back when I was a kid or teenager. I only heard it because it ended up on the CZcams lists of worst voice acting in video games. If there was a Vampire Night in the arcades of my youth, then I would have spent all of my coins beating this game.
game feels kinda short dunnit?
*augh intensifies* 22:12 😂😂
17:48
That girl is worse than Ashley from RE4 (original)
Parece la copia de the house of the dead :v
They were both made by SEGA :v
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Eso si no sabía, pero que lastima que ya no hubo continuación de ese juego
@@MxCyberJorky. it’s a great game, I agree with you that a sequel should have been made. The ending is perfect though. :)
Ninja Assault better
