This is a (programmatic) transcode from the original arcade game Z80 to 68K assembly.
PROGRESS:
The core transcode is complete. The game is playable with one minor glitch. Beta2 for MAME (cart/cd) is available for download. Untested on real hardware!
NOTE: the game only runs in 'tate' mode.
The Neo Geo port is playable with the following issues:
- Enemy bombs sometimes disappear briefly
- Sound is WIP

Hi there, I hope you don't mind, but I have included Galaxian in with the best Neo Geo homebrew games of all time.
Nice, thanks!
No probs
Working great on 4 slot mvs/neo sd pro! Thank you, Any chance of non tate mode for this & xevious? I'm playing on a horizontal setup & these are the only "vertical" games on the cab
Xevious, doubtful. I've tried to think how scrolling would work in non tate mode, but I just don't see how it could be done. But maybe I just need to think about it again after coming back from a break. Will need scaling to fit the entire screen though...
Galaxian, maybe. Similar issue to Xevious, but less demanding. I'll think about it.
Sounds good, thank you!
