Can the Cave cv1k driver be added to Mame 0.139u1 ?

Hy guys,

So, can this driver https://git.redump.net/mame/tree/src/mame/drivers/cv1k.cpp  which was first officially supported in 0.153 mame, be added in an older mame, like 0.138 or 0.78?

Thanks!

Arcadez:
Quite Possibly but alotta the code in the driver and linked files it uses may need to be rolled back in order to compile and function
in older versions of MAME, as code defines and basic handling often change slightly between each MAME version and the older the
version you want to port this cave driver to the bigger the changes that will likely be needed.

el_rika:
Thank you for the answer. So, theoretically it's a Yes, practically it's a No(t worth the trouble)   :p

Well depends why you want to play those games in MAME0.139u1 is there a performance benefit..?? or is it the only version of MAME
playable on an non PC platform say the Android for example..?? either way i suppose in the end it all boils down to how much work it would be and can you be assed doing it  :wink:

The driver might drop in with minimal fuss or be a complete nightmare you wont know till you try.

Would be nice to see those games in fba, since fba is for the most part cross-platform.
