Cool. Did you have to make any changes?

FBA Game news: Fighting Roller

Incredible, I was just thinking about this game a few days ago... ;) I'm looking forward to try it through the FBA emulation! ;)

Another awesome classic comes to FBAlpha!
Cabal

I was thinking about Cabal and "suddenly" I was reminded of Gaelco Alligator Hunt, (IMHO) a very well done variant of Cabal... it could be a good addition for a new fba release! ;)

When dev time is limited sometimes they like to work on smaller drivers or if a driver is on the larger side pick one that gives the best
bang for buck lets look at Galeco2 which supports Alligator Hunt.........

Quote
"Alligator Hunt (unprotected)", 0 )
"Touch & Go (World)", MACHINE_UNEMULATED_PROTECTION | MACHINE_NOT_WORKING )
"World Rally 2: Twin Racing", MACHINE_UNEMULATED_PROTECTION | MACHINE_NOT_WORKING )
"Gaelco", "Maniac Square (unprotected)", 0 )
"Snow Board Championship (Version 2.1)", 0 )
"Bang!", 0 )
"Play 2000 (v5.01) (Italy)", MACHINE_UNEMULATED_PROTECTION | MACHINE_NOT_WORKING )

Dont get me wrong Alligator Hunt is a decent game and Snowboard Championship looks good and is now playable in latest MAME
but currantly it needs a large CHD file to load the game protection code in not sure FBA supports CHD games..???
Maniac Square is already playable plus Bang is just a generic Lightgun game which is nothing special so im not sure the FBA devs would want to work on porting a large driver with as it stands one decent working game one not so decent working game and one good but maybe not playable in FBA game..??? but hey ya never know :)

As you wrote, maybe "the game isn't worth the candle"... or rather, (IMHO) a driver(s) porting is always a "useful and valuable work", but, of course, with a limited time it could be better deal with smaller or "wider use" drivers! :)

Unless one of the FBA devs is working on getting that 8GB chd turned into a nice algorithm, then it's likely the driver will find its way into FBA. Fun fact. :)

It would be a good news... rather, a really good news! ;)

Hehe. Also one of the other devs really likes Alligator Hunt. This is going to be another IQ-Dink tag-team driver.

Lovely to hear!! of course the best game in that driver may well be Snowboard championship..??? or is it World Rally 2..???
one of em might well be playable now ;) I still hold out hope an unprotected version of Thunder Hoop Strikes Back turns up one day
Galeco did make some tasty games i'll give em that but they sure protected em well.
