It's similar to the Jackie Chan/suprnova roz line issue, which is nearly unfixable in emulation.  Also note, in MAME the graphics share the same issues.

  • All games deserve to be emulated, more or less! :P

Here the link to a video captured from the original arcade board: https://youtu.be/l-K1bhAxqSU

The video quality isn't very good,, but enough to give a comparison... the sprite scaling and traslucent shadows haven't the issues observed in the emulated version.

Speaking of beat 'em ups, there's a really great one that's not on FBA yet: Captain America and the Avengers by Data East (rom name = captaven). I was searching what Data East driver this game belongs exactly, but didn't have luck. Is the driver in question emulated by FBA already?

Currently, DECO-32 (deco32.c driver) games aren't supported by FBA. Maybe in the future...  keep your fingers crossed ! ;)

PS: IMHO another excellent DECO-32 side-scrolling beat'em up is Night Slashers.

Oh, so it's DECO-32.

Is there a way to find what driver a game belongs to through mame? I haven't used mame in a while, but I noticed the most recent versions include a small info list about every game, but I could not find specific things like drivers listed there (maybe it could be there but I'm just blind...)

Maybe this website can be useful for your request: http://www.progettoemma.net/

- Use the "Search tools" option (menu on the left) to find a specific game;
- among other things/informations, when you select a game, in "emulation box" there is the MAME driver used for the emulation (The MAME driver of this machine is:);
- moreover, if you click on driver name you'll get a list of all games that use this driver.

... I hope to have been a help to you! ;)

PS: excuse me for the little OT ! :)

Seems to be a nice site, but I only see the manufactures listed. I actually meant drivers in a more specific way. You know, things like CPS2, DECO IC16, Sega System 32, CAVE CV1000B, etc etc.

Is there a way to search for this kind of information? If there's none, then no worries. :)

If you use the "Advanced Search" there is an option where is possible to select a specific driver (Source:)... in any case, if you want  to have a subdivision of games according to the arcade boards (Neo Geo MVS, CPS1, CPS2, System 16, System 24, etc.) you can try this website: http://www.system16.com/

Wow! Thank you so much, dink. This is one of the best Konami beat 'em ups so it's nice to see it fixed. Great job! :D
