Mame project for sound in Toaplan games . . .what happened ?

Post by kennyrh »

I remember a while back there was a mention of some new chip-stripping technique to get the sound chips working on Toaplan games in MAME.

Does anybody know if the project has stalled . . .or is it still on-going ??

Its still going to be a while yet.

On the plus side, they've dumped a load of G-NET cards. Shouldn't take too long to get those running considering G-NET uses the motherboard of something that is already emulated. But I suppose it depends on what other people are working on right now.

What G-Net games have been dumped besides the usual RC de Go! game?

After looking at the list, the following Taito G-Cards have been dumped:

Psyvariar Medium Unit
Psyvariar Revision
Ray Crisis
Shikigami No Shiro
Night Raid
XII Stag

Should be interesting to see how they fare on Mame and make comparisions to the real G-Net hardware. The real action is playing on the real G-Net mobo for now. A typical G-Card could hold up to 320mb of data. ^_~

A bit off-topic, but does anyone know what happened to MAWS? The website seems to have gone.

domain expired again, they are moving all the main sites over
to .info. Look for maws at: http://maws.mameworld.info/ in the
not too distant future.

Though the domain expired, you should be able to access the server directly by editing your hosts file, if you know how to do that. The IP is 216.144.214.105
