Today is a day im really quite proud of.
There are now 500 entries in the PLD Archive.
Now I know there isn’t exactly 500 unique entries. Some are GAL conversions of PAL dumps and some are archives with many dumps in them but considering before I started on this project there were only a handful of dumps available I think all of us who have contributed to this in someway deserve a pat on the back for all the effort.
Thanks to everyone who has helped and keep them coming in
I got my hands on an original Street Fighter PCB today.
Its in decent condition and seems to work fine.
There are 11 PLD’s on this set.
7 are PAL16L8’s
2 are PLS153’s
and 2 are PAL16R4’s
Ive dumped then all apart from the 2 registered ones but haven’t yet got round to testing any of them.
Zab has dumped the PALs from an M92 board, Gunforce.
They are all in GAL16V8 format and have been tested.
Thanks once again to Zab for his contributions
Today I got a chance to test out the two new conversions from Darksoft.
First is Knights of Valor: The Seven Spirits.
Never heard of this game before.
It plays really well and I really enjoyed it. Once again I couldn’t see any issues with the conversion.
Second up is Guilty Gear X 1.5
I already own this game a couple of time over for the NAOMI so not too excited about this release but that’s not really the point of this project.
I had a little issue to start with as I must of netbooted the game half way through something else going on. The game only booted to the test screen and couldn’t start the game. I tried netbooting again after that and the game worked perfectly.
I’m really liking this project, its not only bringing games to my attention that I never knew existed but its also allowing me to play them.
Please, if you like these conversion them please donate a little something to Darksoft if you can. If you aren’t able to give anything then just leave a comment on his site to let him know its appreciated.
Today I got my modified CPS3 security cart.
I ended up getting the custom SH2 processor swapped for a normal SH2 and im pleased to say it works perfectly.
Not really too much to say about this as its all been extensively covered so ill just post a few pics.
It was about half way through flashing when I remembered the supplied CD wouldn’t actually have 2nd Impact on it. Luckily it flashed 3rd Strike instead.
Thanks to Alpha1 from the UKVAC forum for arranging postage and of course thanks to Mitsurugi-W and Darksoft for the soldering work and modified BIOS.
