Work done this week:

-Sprite and background full support completed for all Altered Beast variations-Miscellaneous sprite bits processed-Tile ROM banking support-Working MRA files for Golden Axe and E-Swat-Object priority corrected (fixing Dynamite Dux map screen)-Scroll paging improved, fixing MVP although still not perfect (E-Sway hi-score screen)-PCM decoding works, but it's unstable

Games working (PCM sound unstable)

-Altered Beast-RyuKyu (minor glitch on title screen)-MVP-E-Swat (hi-score screen)

Games working (with problems)

-Golden Axe (slowdowns)-Dynamite Dux (several sprite problems)-Wrestle War (scroll paging problems)-Cotton (scroll paging problems)-Heavy Champ (character disappears)

It looks like S16B titles require the hardware to be almost completely implemented to work. That's making hard to isolate a few working titles to do weekly updates, but the core development hasn't stopped for a second.

(all attached images come from the MiSTer version of the core)

Amazing! We're here for it.

It would be awesome to see another “unit test” core that verifies the DMA timings and bus contention behaviors, like you did for CPS.

Don't sweat it José! We have your back! There's no pressure to deliver weekly [#jtfriday], as long as you don't create the expectation of course :)

What a great update! Now have a break - we don't want you to get burnt out.

A very interesting and highly appreciated journey to S-16!

You said Wrestle War. I'll be sitting here patently. Thanks as always sir.

Darren Chell

Great work. It’s fascinating to get the updates and I personally don’t expect a new game every Friday. Just so grateful for what you are doing 😀

Dynamite Dux ! Loved to play the Atari ST port.

DUDE! Have just tried out Shinobi and Altered Beast. They are amazing!!!!!!! I'm running on a gaming TFT which seems to be OK with low lag settings and wow, just wow!! Love it. My GroovyArcade cabinet with CRT has some odd audio issues with Shinobi but this MiSTer version runs superbly. Bring on GOLDEN AXE!!!! Great work JT. Thank you

Wise from your gwave! *plays goofy music* man I love Altered Beast.

Hi! Im definitely not a tech guys so im starting to have some difficulties to make heads and tails with the mra and rbf coming out as matter of fact, cores that worked dont work for me any more and i have no clue why. Im sure im not alone, but unlike some do, i dont give up and use something else. Could you go back to fully compatible zips instead of github dumps
