Today I got around to updating my BINman program. Ive been meaning to add 32 bit deinterleave ever since I added the 32 bit interleave feature and now here it is.
I also did a rewrite of the interleave function so its more streamlined and less bloated. The downside of this is I haven’t tested it properly but the few tests I did run went perfect.
No doubt ill find any issues when I come to use it.
As usual the program can be found in the Downloads section
My friend Runik is currently in the process of creating decrypted ROMs for SEGA games that use the FD1094 custom CPU.
If you are able to test them on real hardware then please give feedback.
To use simply (re)program the relevant eproms with the ones downloaded and replace the custom CPU block with a normal 68000 CPU.
There has been a bit of work done recently with the bootleg version(s) of Bubble Bobble (Bobble Bobble).
The story can be found over on the Arcade Otaku forums, https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=5154
Basically the joaoljr has added the code found in the MCU of the original pcb into the ROMs of the bootleg and it has resulted in what is almost, if not completely perfect Bubble Bobble. Title screen and all is restored.
I did take a picture but it can out horrible so I wont add it but it does work.
Thanks to joaoljr for doing this patch.
I have installed a new Table plugin for the PAL list.
Its very similar to the old one but this one has some bug fixes etc
If you encounter any issues using this please let me know.
Zabanitu has sent in his own schematic of the sound section from a Cadash board. He also says it applies to a Rainbow Islands board too (with a couple of minor differences).
Thank you very much to Zab for this. Hope it helps someone out one day.
