This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

I only had MC3:Dub Edition, but it definitely set some permanent musical tastes in the way Tony Hawks did

I have that and also MC:LA for the PS3. I recently learned that Rockstar never officially ported MC:LA to the PC so the only official ways to play it are on the PS3 and 360. And sadly RPCS3 still needs more optimization before it's playable. I get about 15-30 fps whenever I try it.

I am currently playing through midnight club Los Angeles on RPCS3 on Ubuntu 22.04.

I would say it is about 70 to 90% stable. There are certain areas of the map that load it lower frame rates. Certain updates of RPCS3 have seem to affect this. Perhaps I should be more actively communicating in their community.

I am right now running a particular build of RPCS3 for midnight club LA.

0.0.31-16277 (from 4-1-24)

I'd say it's about 85-90% stable. Totally playable ehat promoted this whole thread.
