Tiger Road uses ADPCM recordings for the Japanese version. I needed a core for the MSM5205 ADPCM decoder and there was not anyone ready to use in the scene. I have written one and made it public here.

This is an important piece of hardware because it is at the core of many arcades. Among them Double Dragon, which I am working towards too as it is a request from many of you :-)

You can hear to a quick preview of sounds inside the Japanese ROM of Tiger Road (aka Tora e no michi) clicking at the attached play button. I hope to finish the rest of the integration work soon so I can share the final Tiger Road core with you.I hope other developers will grab this core and use it too.

Only the Japanese version uses samples? That seems... unusual. Maybe they didn’t want to spend to record English versions for the US release?

Good job. Now, I was wondering if you keep statistics of your patrons on a subject how many requests you got for one core or another. I would simply like to see whether my contributions fit in your future works and profile. Having a certain interest on particular cores I would rather contribute larger amount one time when interested core is being worked on, rather than spending multiple times for works that are completely outside of my interest. Inget that even with small contributions I am still helping your work but spending 90% of it on something that it's outside of radar in is not very efficient. Just common sense. Keep up the good work.
