The emulation thread...

[ryu]

Someone's on a roll. Really cool stuff you got your hands on, Shou.

[Shou]

It's a block breaker game somewhat like Devilish.

[Shou]

Coming soon?

[Limbrooke]

Oh...and METAL BLACK Extra Version

Just saw this now. Nice to see it in motion. Looking forward to a day to try it myself. Thanks for sharing.

[Gaijin Punch]

Coming soon?

Definitely the one I'm holding out for. I remember talking to you about this. Would love to give it a spin.

[Macaw]

Sooo, not to guarantee anything but stuff that *appears* to be accessible for dumping perhaps at *some* point now *may* include...

Cyber Sterra
Vertexer
DT-7
Variant Schwanzer
DDP Campaign
Metal Black Tarabar Ver.
Burning Street
Ninja Gaiden 2 Neo Geo
Solomon's Key 2
Sega Sonic Bros
OOparts
Aquario

?? Distopia ??


Also remember Shou just dumped the unreleased Wing Force which everyone should go play now.

[Shou]

Looking for Distopia still...there is a lead on this that when FACE went under, a bunch of Toaplan PCBs including Distopia were found in their warehouse.

Burning Street was developed by Givro, check out Cyber Brawl on 32X for their other 2D fighter work.

I'll announce something from Seibu Kaihatsu next week or so.

[Shou]

Now for another game you've never heard of...Yukai Tsukai by Seibu Kaihatsu

Video here.

[Gaijin Punch]

I certainly hope those graphics were just place holders. Interesting stuff though... Cheers for sharing.

[emphatic]

That's... interesting. If I didn't know it was a Seibu Kaihatsu game, my guess would have been DATA EAST.

[Shou]

Seems like it was an IP license so that is the style they intentionally went for and this is circa 1987.

The graphics remind me of something, not La Linea but I can't put my finger on it.

[Imhotep]

Dive Bomber and Hangzo have surfaced.

[Shou]

and I have them now....open to donations to immediately release them - wasn't cheap.

[Imhotep]

oh wow..

check pm

[CTN]

Congratulations.
I never expected stuff like this surfacing on the open on yahoo. I was always under the impression deals like that would only happen in a inner circle especially considering the arcade collector scene.

[Shou]

:o Congratulations.

It's due to discussing with the seller on acquiring his other protos....he prefers to put them up rather than selling to me outright but at least he is opening the floodgates. He has much much more....

[Shou]

If anyone feels generously inclined to helping my efforts, I've started a Patreon page for donations

[CTN]

He has much much more....

...and here I am sitting on the other side of the globe.

[Shou]

Hangzo is developed by HOT B actually and is not a beat'em up, it's a normal 2D ninja action game!

Movie here

[CIT Seven Force]

Those are some kick-ass finds Shou! Congratulations!

Hang-Zo looks really interesting. Any chance we can get some gameplay footage?

[Gaijin Punch]

I'll donate in a bit, even though I'm not playing much. You going to get the word out? My guess is a lot of people in the Assembler & Shmups communities would pitch in.

Anyway, good work. I tip my hat to your tenacity.

[Gaijin Punch]

And since this is the emulation thread:
Anyone think the new Raspberry Pi will run MAME all that well? Need something nice and easy, with HDMI output.

[rtw]

Anyone think the new Raspberry Pi will run MAME all that well?

MAME has grown immensly in the last years, with new cores and the move to the C++.

Seems like the RasPi MAME emu is based off AdvanceMAME, which is again based of: Version 106 of MAME which is from 13 May 2006.

So my answer is no it will not run it well at all
