San Francisco Rush 2049: Special Edition

Attract mode logo

San Francisco Rush 2049: Special Edition is a modified version of Tournament Edition that was released as both an upgrade kit and standalone machine by Betson Enterprises in 2003. It features all of changes that TE made to the original game with the MTN content removed. As the two versions are very similar, a SE security PIC will work for running TE. Conversely, a TE boot ROM will run SE as well, but not the other way around.

Differences from Tournament Edition

• Midway Tournament Network references and information, such as the attract mode sequences and test menu options for connecting to the servers, are removed.
• Track 6 and 7 are unlocked for solo and linked play, instead of being locked behind tournament play.
• Track 7: Dusk is labeled as Advanced difficulty in TE, but Extreme difficulty in SE.
• When the attract mode shows both new tracks with the leaderboards, a "Special Edition" graphic replaces "Fast Times" at the top.
• The "Tournament Edition Support Team" credits image in the attract mode has been replaced with a similar "Special Edition Support Team" image.
• Tournament exclusive cars are usable outside of tournament play. 3 of the 4 cars are immediately available for play on a new Team Rush account.
• The LED sign test in the test menu is unavailable, however the sign might still work (unverified).
