r9078 /src/mess/ (includes/pce.h machine/pce.c): [PCE]: Emulated Arcade Card Work RAM mirror, all of the known behaviour should now be hooked up

Ok, fixes the aforementioned game, and I've tried this other one, it dies at the gameplay loading still due of PCE-CD normal quirks I presume:

Ryuuko no Ken / Art of Fighting










(quite impressive conversion, especially considered the limited HW )

Bomberman '94 <- fully working, unsurprising considering it's a beta release with one multiplayer map and two cd tracks (disclaimer and game)

I used the guide from Guru's site and read it off cd to a toc/bin image using burn-at-once (if I recall the name correctly, there is a link on guru's site) and then just converted it to chd with chdman -createcd foo.toc foo.chd

here's a link to the tutorial, you need to scroll down a bit for the cd stuff: http://www.mameworld.info/guru/tutorials/dumping_cds_&_hdds/index.html

Cotton

Plays fine in MESS. The contrast between the PSG sound effects and CD-DA music is rather something though

 

r9084 /src/mess/machine/pce.c: [PCE]: Fixed some ADPCM registers that are actually write-only, fixes some hangs

Some games now surpasses their hang point, some random examples:

Bunilla Syndrome Mahjong





Buster Bros.







Gotzendiener





Akumajou Dracula seems to surpass the hang point too, but it seems to not do correct GFX DMAing at first shot, dunno the reason right now ...

Adventure Quiz









Battlefield '94 in Tokyo Dome now works too



I'll let others verify other games

r9086 /src/mess/machine/pce.c: [PCE]: Added CD interface port ADPCM RAM 0x0a r/w routing, fixes Akumajou Dracula X going nuts after the intro


This also fixes wrong / missing gfxs in many games, I'll let Tafoid do a bunch of screenshots for these:

Monster Lair



Dynastic Hero



Cosmic Fantasy 2



Bonanza Bros

Awesome!

Gradius 2

Seems perfect. The CDDA tracks are recordings of the original arcade version, so you get a remarkably MAME-like experience playing

Magnificent, let me check.
