2 days ago I noticed Space Invaders in our games list.  That game uses an i8080, how is this possible?  Digging a little deeper I see "they" (probably iq_132) used the Z80 core to run the i8080 code.  2 minutes and a quick google later, I found out that the Z80 is fully i8080-compatible.  "Wow, what a joyous day", he said.
Yup! That one is mine. Nice work on Warp Warp :)

From the "Older games need love too" department:
Universal's Ladybug, Dorodon & Space Raider controls converted to 4-way inputs.
Ever notice, in older games, that the player stops dead in its tracks on some games when you try to move diagonally?  This process solves that problem :)

Recently a bunch of older games were converted this way, most notably of them was Pac-Man/MS Pac-Man.  The process is kinda convoluted at the moment - a chunk of code needs to be added to each driver where 4-way mode is needed.  In the future I would like to add this functionality to the FBA input-processing code, so that all that's needed is a simple flag in the game driver to enable 4way mode.  (who knows - maybe someone else wants to beat me to it? *hint*Barry*hint*)  :biggrin:

best regards,

Another new driver, this time for Mirax by Current Technologies from 1985.  Its a Space-Harrier type game with music that reminds me of Zanac on MSX mixed with Gyruss in a weird way :)

May I dare to share a request Dink, since you're in porting drivers mode on? :P
It's Nintendo VS system.. I really think FBA needs some Super Mario Bros love for its 30th anniversary :P
Obv feel free to ignore this request if not possible.

Thank you very very much for all your effort on other tasks.

Oldschool classics++;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8088 gamecode on FBA, but how is this possible??  No, I didn't port a new CPU core.  I had a dream, that it might have involved a large hammer.  :biggrin:

.........Really, just a NEC V20!

Yeah totally nice find that a 8088 CPU can double up as a v20 CPU makes me wonder what other CPU's are interchangeable like that
i guess the info's out there somewhere

The only other one I can think of is the Z80 being compatible with the i8080.

I noticed that you added the Namco's Warp Warp driver... would it be possible to add the drivers for other Namco's i8080 games? (Bomb Bee, Cutie Q, Gee Bee, Kaitei Takara Sagashi, Navalone and SOS)
Thanks a lot for your work! :)
