Title: Clone request: "Great Gurianos" clone of "Gladiator (US)"
Post by: fprietog on August 30, 2025, 11:40:21 PM

Hello,

yesterday I was looking in FBNeo for an arcade I love when I was younger called "Great Gurianos" but I saw that support is only available for Spectrum version.

"Great Gurianos" is supported by MAME with romset name greatgur and is a clone of "Gladiator (US)" that has FBNeo support with romset name gladiatr.

Please, add the support to this clone if possible.

Thanks and best regards.

To test "Great Gurianos" in FBNeo I've used this Romdata file with the greatgur.zip split set from MAME and it works as expected (differences from gladiatr in bold font):

// RomData template for FinalBurn Neo

// The *** in the ZipName field cannot be empty and cannot be duplicated with DrvName
ZipName: greatgur
DrvName: gladiatr
FullName: "Great Gurianos"

I've also noticed that in MAME the "UCPU MCU Code" and "CSND MCU Code" used for greatgur are the same (crc 3c5ca4c6):

Code: [Select]

ROM_REGION( 0x0400, "ucpu", 0 ) /* comms MCU */
ROM_LOAD( "gladucpu.17",    0x00000, 0x0400, CRC(3c5ca4c6) SHA1(0d8c2e1c2142ada11e30cfb9a48663386fee9cb8) )

ROM_REGION( 0x0400, "csnd", 0 ) /* comms MCU */
ROM_LOAD( "gladcsnd.18",    0x00000, 0x0400, CRC(3c5ca4c6) SHA1(0d8c2e1c2142ada11e30cfb9a48663386fee9cb8) )

But in rest of related games are different:

Code: [Select]

ROM_REGION( 0x0400, "ucpu", 0 ) /* comms MCU */
ROM_LOAD( "aq_006.3a",      0x00000, 0x0400, CRC(3c5ca4c6) SHA1(0d8c2e1c2142ada11e30cfb9a48663386fee9cb8) BAD_DUMP )

ROM_REGION( 0x0800, "csnd", 0 ) /* comms MCU */
ROM_LOAD( "aq_007.6c",      0x00000, 0x0800, CRC(f19af04d) SHA1(61105cb905128e5d10b2e97d6201034584eb1ada) )

I leave it different. Using the same files looks like a MAME mistake to me...
