The general reason for games running slowly on new MAME versions is because the dev team is obsessed with emulating every last hardware detail.

#Major havoc mame code#

it has almost 4 times as much code and sounds as the games released prior.Click to expand.dunno if this helps, but i notice this latest version has video options for: openGL, GDI, direct3D, and BGFX. What I have learned from this experience is that Major Havoc is an insanely complicated program from 1983. I DO unfortunately expect there still to be some bugs but those will get fixed in v1.01, v1.02 versions etc. Last release in BUILDS should be v0.90 and then as soon as we confirm bugs are fixed and I haven't created others, I will release the v1.00 ones. those are targeting the build v0.89 ROM's in the BUILD folder. so those should be in the next release of HBMAME.

I just submitted a HBMAME pull request for mhavocpex8, mhavocpex8de and mhavocpex8fr. you are on your own to unzip these and get them working in HBMAME, naming appropriately to work with the mhavocpex7 driver, and ignoring the CSUM errors -> zip for each version build (there are release notes saying what was fixed in each build). TEST Users: will find inside the 'Build' folder, ROM.

HBMAME Users: will find a specific folder with english ADPCM ROM images specific to the driver (CSUM's match what MAME is expecting and everything). I also updated the structure of the ROMS folder on GITHUB to serve two different audiences. I have a *final* list of bugs that Im chugging through before the v1.00 ROM release.

Jerky got in some great play testing and we were able to upgrade Jon's PCB nicely with the new ROM's and speech daughterboard. thanks for everyone that made it out to CAX!! It was a great time and good to talk with everyone. I would assume that I will have some of those at CAX but I'm honestly not sure if I can get the sound CHIPs right now, so I better look into that ASAP.Īnyway, there is your quarterly update. The sound daughter boards still need tweaking and I will sell those up front here as I would like feedback on them. Plus, you might be able to get Owen to sign your marquee!! But don't worry, for those of you that can't make it to CAX, I will definitely post here.

So, I probably wont' sell them here until after CAX as I would prefer to take a pile to CAX and eliminate shipping costs. The plan is to 'release' the game at CAX (fingers crossed that all goes well with the organization of that this year, and gratitude to the CAX team for their MASSIVE work). Tempest Conversion Overlay - guessing $65+shipping - artwork not yet completedįor the two above form factors, there is more space, so the art may be laid out a bit differently. SpaceDuel/Gravitar Conversion (translite only) - guessing $45+shipping - artwork not yet completed I would be interested in who might want the other sizes and flavors. Costs look to be about $35+shipping for this dedicated translite version. My official testers are and and I think we have quality and sizing thumbs up from both of them now.

Added Catastrofigher line drawing in the 'A' of the Atari logo ( idea there!).

Changed Atari Logo color to Dark Green (original was Yellow).

Here is what the final 'dedicated' marquee translite looks like.
