Improved tilemap paging in the Super A’Can driver, this improves gfxs for the newly dumped Monopoly: Adventure in Africa.

Question of the day is: What kind of crack the game designers smoked for putting H in a videogame as a selectable character?

Chack’n of Team Japump dumped the proms in D-Day (Jaleco) … after some driver tweaking here’s the results:

Foreground tilemap colors are probably wrong, I don’t see anything that suits for the color offset(s) in that so I’ve temporarly hard-coded it.

Modified the Super A’Can driver (an obscure Taiwanese console released by Funtech) to support most of the new features that the recent released game Sango Fighter needs. In the grand list of things that this HW does add a +1 for “rowscroll / colscroll” effect …

Worked on improving Cyber Tank graphics, thanks to the re-dump that was done recently … current main blocker is the non-tile based sprite emulation, it’s pretty complex with its odd decoding and zooming. Zooming looks like to be a single 8-bit port, i.e. it doesn’t seem to have indiviudual zoomx/zoomy factors.

Now I need to understand how the road emulation works, the color “banking” / scrolling for the tilemaps, why some sprites gets stuck on screen / why some sprites are offset and inputs.

Started to write a driver for Cycle Mahbou, an obscure game from Taito / Seta. It seems to be the logical next revision of the Joshi Volleyball / Great Swordsman HW, and like them, it has 2 Taito 8741 MCUs to care about…so it’s not yet working mainly due of that:
