Model 1's 3d graphics processors (the TGPs) had been mostly HLE'd before the Daytona work came along (though the Daytona stuff did bring along the final touches to make Virtua Racing work... better.). The decaps will, however, make us much happier with the emulation since it won't be HLE guesswork anymore. It really is amazing how far the original driver authors got with the HLE'ing though.
The biggest question is which video board Netmerc runs on - there are two different video boards for model 1 with two different internal programs. The VR & VF video boards are interchangeable, the SWA & Wingwar boards are interchangeable. Which video board Netmerc uses will be interesting to learn, as it seems unlikely they reprogrammed the TGPs for the Netmerc boards.
In other words, there's a good chance Netmerc will work reasonably well with the current HLE stuff. Of course since it is HLE, there's a big chance the new software will reveal an issue, but we'll see!
