I started on Patreon 2 years ago, after my Ghosts'n Goblins core was ported to MiSTer. When I saw the coverage that Smokemonster made for it on his YT channel, I thought it was worth developing more systems. Two years later, I have published a ton of stuff: individual chip modules, single arcade boards and multi-game arcades. And all this has been possible because of your continuous support. This week we hit the 2000 patron count. It is an incredible milestone that justifies spending more and more time in all aspects of the systems: from initial development to maintenance and fidelity checks.

To celebrate this milestone, I have prepared a public core: Capcom's The Speed Rumbler. This title follows the hardware tradition of 8-bit Capcom games, with 16-colour sprites and tiles and a 4-colour character layer. Sounds is produced by a 2xYM2203 pack, like in Ghosts'n Goblins or Tiger Road. The screen resolution is a rarety: 352x240. I think it is the only Capcom title with such a resolution.

I have the board for the game, so I have been able to measure many things to verify my assumptions. However, I would still like to run some speed checks the same way Grego2d and I made for the CPS1 board.

The core still has a couple of tiny problems, but I want to do a direct public release this time. 

Get the core from jtbin or by running the update_all tool. 

NB: There will be a second Patreon post today with more games for CPS2.

Empecé en Patreon hace 2 años, después de que mi cot de Ghosts'n Goblins fuera transferido a MiSTer. Cuando vi la cobertura que Smokemonster hizo en su canal de YouTube, pensé que valía la pena desarrollar más sistemas. Dos años después, he publicado un montón de cosas: módulos de chips individuales, sistemas arcade de un juego y  de múltiples juegos... Y todo esto ha sido posible gracias a vuestro continuo apoyo. Esta semana alcanzamos la cifra de 2000 mecenas. Es un hito increíble que justifica dedicar cada vez más tiempo a todos los aspectos de los sistemas: desde el desarrollo inicial hasta el mantenimiento y las minuciosas comprobaciones de fidelidad.

Para celebrar este hito, he preparado un cor público: The Speed ​​Rumbler de Capcom. Este título sigue la tradición del hardware de los juegos Capcom de 8 bits, con sprites y mosaicos de 16 colores y una capa de caracteres de 4 colores. Los sonidos son producidos por dos YM2203, como en Ghosts'n Goblins o Tiger Road. La resolución de pantalla es una rareza: 352x240. Creo que es el único título de Capcom con tal resolución.

Tengo la placa del juego, así que he podido medir muchas cosas para verificar mis suposiciones. Sin embargo, todavía me gustaría ejecutar algunas verificaciones de velocidad de la misma manera que Grego2d y yo hicimos para la placa CPS1.

El cor todavía tiene un par de pequeños problemas, pero esta vez quiero hacer un lanzamiento público directo.

El cor está en jtbin o ejecutando la herramienta update_all.

NB: Hoy habrá una segunda publicación de Patreon con más juegos para CPS2.

I ran update all and the main mra file (The Speed Rumbler (set 1).mra) doesn't download.(Script only downloads the alternate mra files)

Nifled

Yup, not working for me either...

Michael Yount

The primary MRA has been moved to the releases folder with the RBF file now. Try updating again and it should work.

Ruben Aparicio

Congrats ! Let’s keep the good work !

Nifled

Works great now! Congrats on reaching the 2000 mark!

Bruno Silva

Looks like the problem is here it downloaded the rbf to Arcade folder instead of Arcade/cores Downloading jtrumble_20210416.rbf to /media/fat/_Arcade/jtrumble_20210416.rbf

Fender

Ok it works now
