Sorry I didn't have time to respond in a decent timeframe, been really busy with some fun code. And on top of it all, this heatwave has made it impossible to do everything that needs to be done.
Howdy Pelucon8, re: devastators, it's almost like Konami's black sheep, but in prototype form. I don't know much about it, and I never seen it in arcades. The Tattoo Assassins sleuthwork and especially the resulting video was a lot of fun
Don't worry, dink. Good to have you back on the forum.

I'd like to get everything 100% before putting on github, or close
Of course... IIRC the game was published/sold at the end of 2020... now we are in 2025, so wait a little longer is definitely not a problem! Thanks a lot for your work!

The current issue that bothers me - when a song changes:
it loads a mp3 file, decodes it to a buffer, then starts playing the music
This means the emulation "hangs" for 4(or more) seconds every time a song changes. (f. example: title screen song, player select, level 1, boss, end of round music.. etc.)
I converted the mp3's to .wav, using BurnSamples engine - and - its a slight delay @ game load, but all songs play seamlessly with no hangs. It's slick
There's also a couple little bugs that became apparent after a few small plays and comparing with playback from an original cart.
