I recorded a little video titled "How to kick-ass nonstop for about 30 minutes"

Aka Ghouls 'n Ghosts on Megadrive (recorded/played in fbn!)

Most of the time I can't even get off the first level without dying, so I find that quite impressive

Kev, if you concentrate/play only these 2 games - it's a lot easier than it seems.
Funny fact:
Even though it came out in '85 or so, it didn't become popular here until '87 or '88 here.

When Ghosts'n Goblins came out in the arcades, it was my most-hated game.  I put the quarter in and died right away - quarter over in 1/2 minute.  I remember thinking "I'll never play this one again.".  Now it's one of my most beloved favorites

The one I played the most was Mr do. When I was 6 or 7 I had access to a free play cabinet of it and got quite good, and also played it loads on my dads BBC Micro. 30+ years later I am terrible at it. However, I can still play Star Wars and operation wolf for ages without losing a credit but I guess those are more forgiving games. the gng series is brutal in every version.

Kev, Mr.Do is great!  I remember a few years back when I rewrote the driver - ended up playing it tons and didn't even know about(or use) the projectile ball.  My buddy Zazzone (FB-supertester at the time) found a bug in the driver when the ball hit the left side of the screen, I was like .. what ball? derp.
I might be good at GNG, but when it comes to Operation Wolf - I can't even make it past the first level on 1 coin...

Not yet, the "mission screen" is still a bit off, but that's a fix for another day .

There's no hurry... this game has been waiting for years a "graphic fix"... few more days make no difference!

I did some update to the video code for cps3 :
- fixed fade effects (jojoba, sfiii3)
- fixed a ton of glitches in jojo/jojoba intro (missing star sprite, sprites appearing when they shouldn't, ...)
- fixed missing parts in the background in alex stage (sfiii)
- fixed plank aspect on floor in ryu stage (sfiii)
- probably others

Great work! Thanks for this one! Did it affect the speed much?

The performance impact should be minor, but i didn't confirm on my rpi3 yet.

Edit : overall, it seems the cps3 driver is actually slightly faster now !
