Thrill Drive 3! The Arcade Racing Game Lost To Time and Now Released! On PS2! Konami Arcade

I have been trying to find a copy of Thrill Drive 3 to add to my arcade PCB collection for over a year...and I've yet to find one for a good price! But I was contacted after my first Thrill Drive video and gifted an unknown about dump of the Thrill Drive 3 hard drive that was intended to restore original Python 2 arcade boards with...and with some work by myself and a member of my Discord it's not running in a custom Python 2 fork of PCSX 2! So now ANYONE can play Thrill Drive 3 today...it's a lost arcade game no longer! Retrogaming win!

I own a Konami Viper board that can play Thrill Drive 2...but I have always wanted to play the PS2 based Thrill Drive 3 And now I (and you) can! It's an arcade racing game that has some very high stakes...crash your car and you may just well die in game! It's an action packed retro gaming arcade racer you are basically guaranteed to love...or your non-existent money back. But seriously I love being able to share these lost games with you...and considering the Python 2 is just a Playstation 2 with an IO board...you can even get this running on original PS2 hardware :)
