Lemon Angel – more slightly dodgy but somehow endearing hand drawn Home Data artwork in this Mahjong game.\u00a0 You can buy power ups with lemons, of course.\u00a0 Other than that it’s pretty uneventful, I just like the art.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Private Teacher – now this is proper Home Data jank.\u00a0 Digitised women, bad animation, and yet somehow it gets away with it by not taking itself very seriously, they picked a really charismatic woman to be your opponent.\u00a0 It’s an undumped revision older than MAME, I’ll sort it out soon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hot Gimmick 4ever – last Mahjong one!\u00a0 Came with an absolute stack of artwork, but also with screen interference and humming sound.\u00a0 I’ve got a couple of Psikyo games on this hardware and that’s definitely not normal.\u00a0 While poking around I noticed one of the chips handling the inputs (a transistor array) was burning hot to the touch.\u00a0 It did turn out to be the culprit and replacing it fixed everything.\u00a0 You can just see one of the chips near the edge connector is lighter than the ones to the sides.\u00a0 Happy with how the repair came out, it was done by hand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Cross Pang – undumped sequel to Cross Pang.\u00a0 Surprisingly it turned out to be more than just a basic name change which is common for Korean games, it has large pre-rendered characters animated on the left for example.\u00a0 Annoyingly all those flash roms in the top left will need desoldering to dump this.\u00a0 I hate SMT flash ROMs.\u00a0 Hate them.\u00a0 Hate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Robocop – Japanese version!\u00a0 Another one I already own and bought for the artwork, it’s already up for sale.\u00a0 I actually expected it to go quite quickly but it’s still here so I’ve been playing it on the supergun setup.\u00a0 One of the all time classic games, a film license done right.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dynasty Wars – I’ve been after this for a long, long, long time.\u00a0 Unfortunately it’s hard to find except in Japan, and the Japanese version carries a ridiculous price premium.\u00a0 Coolfox hooked me up with this fairly priced one from the US.\u00a0 Of course they’ve messed with the difficulty making it much harder – less health items is the most obvious thing.\u00a0 Luckily it’s very easy to burn a set of chips to make it run as Japanese.\u00a0 Replace 18,19,30,31,35,36 with their positional equivalents from the Japanese set.\u00a0 Do remember to keep the original chips safe.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
