I've been working non-stop to find the bug in the QSound chip producing the distortion, but I still haven't got it. So there is no CPS2 update this week. 

To make up for it, and because I know some people miss 80's games, I am offering you one of my personal favourites this week: Shinobi.

By the way, I want to thank FunkyCochise and AMoore2600 for lending me their System 16/18 boards to work on this.KNOWN BUG: IF YOU WIN THE BONUS STAGE, THE GAME HANGS UPA particular technical feature in this arcade is that the PCM sounds are produced by a microcontroller, similar to how QSound works. It sounds really nice compared to other 80's titles.

We will go back to CPS2 next week. I found a good lead for the distortion bug this morning, so hopefully, I will close that chapter over the weekend.

Have ninja fun!

He estado trabajando sin parar para encontrar el error en el chip QSound que produce la distorsión, pero todavía no lo tengo. Así que no hay actualización de CPS2 esta semana.

Para compensarlo, y porque sé que algunas personas tienen ganas de juegos de los 80, os traigo uno de mis favoritos esta semana: Shinobi.

Por cierto, quiero agradecer a FunkyCochise y AMoore2600 por prestarme sus placas System 16/18 para este desarrollo.PROBLEMA CONOCIDO: SI GANAS LA FASE DE BONUS SE CUELGAUna característica técnica particular de este juego es que los sonidos PCM son producidos por un microcontrolador, similar a como funciona QSound. Suena muy bien en comparación con otros títulos de los 80.

Volveremos a CPS2 la semana que viene. Encontré una buena pista para el error de distorsión esta mañana, así que espero cerrar ese capítulo durante el fin de semana.

¡Diviértete a lo ninja!

Paul Cunningham

I love me some Shinobi, thanks again for everything you do, have a great Easter

Muriel Melvin

AWWWW YISSSSS. Been waiting for this one! And definitely no risk of me winning the bonus round! Does this mean more System 16 could be on the way?

Rafa Davila

Whoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It is my favorite!!!!!!!!

Adrian Nabarro

This is AMAZING! Thanks JT. 🙏🏻 Hope this is the start of more System 16 games in the future 🤞🏻

Carl Bown

Matt Charlesworth

OMG! Best mister surprise drop ever! Thanks Jose :D

Mohamed HASSAIRI

LovePastrami

Amazing! One of my all-time favourites!! Cheers Jose!!!

Saoshyant

I just signed up as a Patreon to support any other System 16 work (or for any other Sega arcade board). Cheers!

ALFREDO CANAS

Wow this means System16 is on the horizon, awesome work as always.

Juan Diego

Me cagüen la leche Jose... you make me cry de alegría👾🥂🥂🤩🤩

Tony Crisol Gamez

SIN PALABRAS! me he quedado con la boca abierta, si te dijera que excelente me quedaria corto, junto al Shadow Dancer mis arcades favoritos, aunque el shadow dancer el system18 y es "otro" mundo. Esta implementada la proteccion o solo iran de momento los juegos desprotegidos?bueno, poco a poco, me parece increible estar jugando al shinobi en la fpga. Muchisimas gracias y muchos animos!QUE MARAVILLAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Juan Diego

Estas insinuando que tienes controlado System16 para cuando termines Cps2?? 🤪

jtgo

Ha chinobi, j ai toujours adoré !merci jtgo

Weird, I was just thinking about this game before I seen this. You rock Jose, thank you!

Nedyahwerd

Heck yes loving the weekly cores. Having looked up S16 games I saw Wrestle War. I'll wait and support patiently. Good work.

ARCADEAGES

Great treat for my birthday today! Cheers!

LFT

Nice :) Are you working with MiSTer-X on this core?

Flo Hie

I waited so long for this one! Thank you!

Michele Fornasini

we preserve JT as a relic, I am really happy with this thing.

Ryan Petch

That's great, I'm praying you are able to do all System 16 and System 18 eventually. These are becoming more expensive to buy and the suicide battery is an additional problem for genuine PCB owners.

Mottzilla

Wow this is a surprise! Can't wait to give it a try this evening.

José López Navarrete

Gracias por el aporte. Estaba deseando tenerlo! Has pensado en hacer el Flying Shark o el Psychic 5? Hace poco vi la placa del último a la venta. Es un juegazo!!! Sería la hostia!!!

axxxtz

amazing, I love this game! thank you sooo much! <3

Michael B

What an awesome treat! Thank you indeed!

MattO

Wow most excellent. Thanks so much!

gymcrash

Best of luck with the qsound bug. It's always good to take a step back from bugs in order for your brain to find a solution in the background, and it sounds like you have! Much respect!

David Moylan

loving your attention to detail and how accurate you love your work to be. keep it up :-)

추리하다

unexpected works! wow! just incredible!

Matt_Rant

Very exciting! Is this the System 16A or 16B version? Hopefully Cotton is “easy” to get working, if you got the bus timings tightened up already :)

Polyh3dron

Really looking forward to the improved sound in CPS2!

You Tibbles

very cool ! 'Shinobi' and 'Bad Dudes' were arcades i would see/play the most when i was growing up

Matthew

Lol was about to come and report the Bonus stage bug but then I read in the email that its a known bug

David Filskov

Great work!! :) thanks again !! - remember I wrote about joystick remapping not working in JT cores until I reload them? - I had the issue again. This time I made a video. Perhaps you can figure out why I cannot make Coin work until I reload the core?

David Filskov

There are no Config dir or NVRAM file in the MiSTer ZIP-file, right?

Jorge García

Molaría el Robocop... Qué recuerdos!!!😋

Charlie Friday

Hi Jose! I’ve been enjoying Shinobi. I did experience a game lock / loop after the bonus stage. I got a perfect score and the game is stuck looping the fans flying through the air. I have video if you need!

Charlie Friday

No worries Jose! It looks and feels awesome to play! I'm sorry I missed your initial comment about it in the post. WHOOPS :)

Jakob Schmid

It would be very exciting to see more System 16 games down the line, such as Golden Axe and Alien Syndrome!

themacdaddy

Is Shinobi the only System16 game currently working(ish) right now? Outrun would be amazing too.

Paul Patrick

Fantastic addition to MiSTer - I would love to see 'Golden Axe' added in the future if possible.
