I have never played the game before, considering that I don't have it at all, but from what it looks like in the graphics vector, you can kick Odie in this one? smile

You wish smile

In Garfield, you need to dodge misc. items thrown left and right. Eat the food to get powered up, and when you can do a 'super jump', jump onto the moon to get to the next level.

Bayou Billy.... http://www.seanriddle.com/bayoubilly.html

Double Dribble.... http://www.seanriddle.com/doubledribble.html

NFL.... http://www.seanriddle.com/nfl.html

There's a small but non-zero chance I swapped the Bayou Billy and NFL dies. If you have a problem, try swapping those ROM files and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: The other font (TIME, GAME SET, SCORE, PERIOD, PLAYER, LEVEL, and BONUS THROW[1]) is probably Helvetica Neue Black: http://www.identifont.com/show?2GY or Helvetica Black: http://www.identifont.com/show?2LHJ
[1] Unlike the other words, 'BONUS THROW' is compressed horizontally somewhat.
This same font is used for all the text in 'NFL' as well?

Sean: Can you scan the Bezel and backdrop elements for gauntlet, and the same for the other games as well?

Sean has scanned and uploaded the backdrops, you just need to manually type the link. Better for bandwidth I suppose. smile

The artwork on the cases of most of the handhelds I've bought isn't in very good shape. Some of the stickers have been peeled off completely from the Konami games. So it would probably be better to get those scans from a collector. I'll go through the games I've got and see how many are good quality.

I verified the ROMs and added them to MAME.

In nfl.svg, I had to switch around 2 of the segments (the right-back arm, and the right digit bottom segment). The other segments appear to be fine.
updated svg here: http://tsk-tsk.net/net/temp/svg/knfl.svg

In Double Dribble, when the ball is under the basket, it's sometimes glitchy (ball goes missing for one frame, or shows 2 balls at the same time). But (luckily) it's normal, the same thing happens on the handheld:

Weird, I must have typo'd those segments. I think that if I had mapped the LCD panel contacts to SM511 pins wrong, a bunch of segments would be messed up. I had problems getting the NFL LCD panel set up on my PCB to control the segments one-by-one, so I skipped it and did DD and BB first. But when I came back it was more cooperative.

I guess I hadn't swapped the two dies? When I transcribed the ROM bits, I noticed that I had swapped the top metal removed scans, and then I wasn't sure which set of pics was correct. The die codes are nearly the same, and are hard to read under the KMS73B top metal.

Yeah, the dies were fine. NFL was NFL and Bayou was very Billy (what a bad game btw, so bad it's funny, moreso than Tiger Double Dragon)
