Home Page Forums MAME MAME The newer for 2022 WIP thread

Good stuff. Seems like the old adage is true, to focus on things that are within your reach. It's nice to see someone giving some love to these TV plug-and-play games.

xubuntu 10.10 starting off in WIP shutms11 driver:



Note: timings looks unstable (tried with both tsc and notsc, it never triggers a specific path?)



and eventually it kernel panic

ETA: last pic is a false positive, it actually don't kernel panic (was me messing with debugger too much) but seemingly stalls after sis900.c check:



Bonus 1: Not sure why EISA boards gets detected as "@@@0000", I'm gonna assume it needs to be floating high from the legacy ports if no board is there?



Bonus 2: Ubuntu 10.10 similar install screen:

Thanks to Darksoft for tracing out the CPS-2 TOURNAMENT PCB, you’ll soon be able to run the kind of flawed Super Street Fighter II Tournament Battle setup:


It wasn’t a great implementation – it required everyone to change seats between rounds, the winner needed to return to their original seat to enter their name for the high scores, but they needed to move to their final position to claim their free games. Communication is simulated at a high level to avoid even trying to make MAME synchronise with the wall clock more frequently or anything like that.

Added a couple of useful modern'ish devices for the MTX machines.

Firstly, the MAGROM, a 512K cartridge system containing many games for quick loading. Various ROM images for the device have been softlisted.



Secondly, the CFX System, a Compact Flash storage device.

Also softlisted bootable CF images for:
CP/M

Fuzix

and we can finally run Hex-Train (contains over 200MB of pre-rendered graphics)

Darksoft and Team Europe dumped a Sega medal machine called "Tinker Bell". It uses the System 24 video chain minus the sprite chip, and it's started to say it's unhappy.

Getting a bit further.



ETA:

Another dump on Sega's "System M1" medal game hardware, a card game called "Blicks". Thanks once again to Darksoft and Team Europe!

Hans Blicks?! Oh NOOOOO!

Compugraphics Powerview MCS 10 post screen It's not rotated, it's actually 3:4.

It does some weird 6845 abuse where it sets the horizontal display reg to 12 which means each "character" is 62 pixels wide. Now to figure out the nasty z80sio test.
