Calling all owners of Fantasy Zone II (System16C)

[XtraSmiley]

I have a few things planned:

* Optional Free Play via DIPs (my hack just hardcodes it right now)
* Option to turn off attract sound
* Deferred palette writes (fix that color issue)
* Possibly limit the explosion sprite count during some bosses to fix sprite overflow
* Fix bug where on loop 2 and onwards, Opa-Opa is able to turn around in all boss battles, not just the designated ones. (must confirm this isn't intended behavior)
* Loop / stage select for practice
* Not fix an endearing typo on the item select, that mistakenly reads "H MOMB" instead of "H BOMB"

Right now, I am pretty preoccupied with my job (embedded automotive work) and am working on a real, commercial game project in a lot of my spare time, so it's hard to find a window of time to do more extensive things like this. The time will come, but it won't be quick. I might bang it out in a weekend before CAX so it's ready.

Awesome man! I'm not trying to rush you but was curious what else was planned and this sounds AWESOME!

Do you need someone to play the PS2 version to verify the Opa-Opa turn around behavior?

I haven't done a thing because I'm preoccupied with Gimmick at the moment. Loctest is coming up followed by release not long after so after that I can do fun stuff.

No worries man, take your time, FZ2 has been around for a lot of time, I don't think anyone's in a hurry here

I had no idea what you were talking about Mike and then I went and looked it up, OMG wow, great work! I'm so curious to try this version out! I'm going to try and talk my arcade into getting the system so I can see...

Of course, I'm only a 4 hour drive from Galloping Ghosts, so they will likely get it there!

That being said, yes, please don't forget about FZIIDX down the road!

Doing an 8 month and 2 day bump!

Just reading through this thread, I can confirm that both the PS2 and 3DS versions have the loop 2 change where Opa-Opa is able to turn around in all boss battles. This also happens in the first game, so I think it's intentional and not a glitch.
