Awesome work! :)

PS: another game included in the "metro.c" driver should be Grand Striker 2... a pseudo 3D soccer game (a real treat for the fans of genre) ! ;)

It's in the source and uses pretty much exactly the same hardware as Blazing Tornado, but for whatever reason I can't get the roz layer to do anything (probably timing/irq related?).  Some of he other games have timing issues and I'm hoping Dink can work some of his magic and that it might fix that game too.

Definitely! Without the Mahjong games, which I do not plan to add, it weighs in at around 179kb (almost 7,000 lines) for just the driver. That doesn't take into account the new CPU core I ported for it. Keep in mind this is after optimizing a lot of code.

Thanks a lot for your work! :)

Out of curiosity: already quite a long time that Toaplan Demon's World is supported by FBA, however the original arcade hardware should use the TMS32010 DSP like Flying Shark, Twin Cobra, Wardner, etc. How is it possible?

Gab75, it was hacked out using patches to the rom.  Yesterday it was updated (by iq_132) to use the new cpu, and I fixed some video issues that somehow went unnoticed.

best regards,

Thanks for the clarification! I'm looking forward to try the new added games! :)

Just finished up with this today. There's a lot of bug testing to do!
