All good, although for some reason these games appear on the list yet.

Hello again Dink, I have a question, It is a detail in the graphics between the Space Invaders DX version of the taito b system and f3 hardware. In the option to play the classic mode with cellophane, the game is not well distinguished in the f3 version, this also occurs in MAME. Is this normal in the original arcade?

xerf84, yes, the cellophane mode with Taito B-system is actually correct - as weird as it looks :)
Though on the F3 hw, I think there might be something wrong - the F3 hw was never perfectly emulated, and there are some glitches w/a few games.

best regards,

some dinkdev news:
Art of Fighting (the first one) Neogeo CD: Fixed freeze on bonus stage.  Big thanks to Neildark for providing info, savestates and recordings to help me solve this one!
info on the bug: seems like the program that runs the bonus rounds either has a bug or crashes a little bit, and starts writing bad registers - first it writes bad dma transfer requests (which has been known for some time), but the other part is that it writes corrupted registers to the lc8951 controller chip.  Funny thing is - you can "influence" the bug by skipping or holding certain button combinations on the motorcycle cutscene right before the bonus stage.

For the past several weeks, been trying to get recordings to stay synchronized with Neogeo CD.  Not having much luck, but it is a lot better than it was.  Some games don't seem to have a problem (sonic wings3), but others do (art of fighting, rbffs...).

Fixed music bug in Sand Scorpion - it was fixed before yrs ago, but decided to come back after some cycle-fixing to the z80 core.  :P

Konami's Xexex: fixed swapped pcm channels (l/r -> r/l)

Rainbow Islands Extra: Added proper C-Chip dump.  Thanks to Kevin Escbach for donating the chip and Caps0ff for dumping it.

Wonder Planet got broke after an update a while back, sorry about that!  It's fixed now.

Vanguard 2: another sprite flip bug.  ooops.

I'll post an official-ish test exe tonight, after cleaning up the Neogeo CD stuff!

best regards,

OMG!!!
I was going to post today about the Sand Scorpion stage music not playing in 2.97.44 as it was working in 2.97.42 and .43.

You guys are just on it! Much love!


Other things i found with 2.97.44.......

Ashura Blaster (Ashurau) d_taitob.cpp
-High score entry issue with the third character
-Unable to enter the letter "T" as the third character of your name. It changes to "R".
-E.g I want to enter "KNT" but it displays "KNR".
-Happens in MAME also but maybe bacuse it uses the same driver.


Demon Front (dmnfrnt)
-Game stops working after choosing your character
-Emulator still running but black screen, no sound, no music

Ignore me, i see you fixed it !

Thanks Riddler, I'll look into it soon :)

guys, when I said "tonight" about posting the official-ish exe, I didn't mean to make it take 3 days.  The heatwave that is currently is starting to negatively affect my memory!  d'oh!

I did a bit of recon and found that this is the actual game code that is changing the high-score name, and not the emulation.   Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done about this.
