Wow, this is so unbelievably tempting (pardon the pun). I really wish I could get this.

First off, thank you for sharing this! It's always great when unreleased stuff finds a way out. I looked through the ROMs and saw there's less files in the zip compared to another System 2 game, Paperboy, so I hoping there's not any missing graphics data or anything like that. I did find...

@mecha and @braedel are definitely the go-to guys when it comes to this sort of thing. But from skimming through the video it looks like the palette colors in RAM get corrupted first and it draws some garbage on the right side of the screen, before resetting back to the power up rug test...

I think it's an easter egg with the high score kit. The Cutting Room Floor doesn't have anything about a red message for Galaga but Gaplus does have something interesting. https://tcrf.net/Gaplus_(Arcade) If you type in "JNIWAR", a hidden message in Japanese pops up. Just thinking out loud...

Bump. Obviously, this joystick shell can be used for other games like Mad Planets, Xenophobe, Mach 3, Two Tigers, or that goth Tron machine that you always wanted to build. ;)

I've had this joystick shell for a long time but didn't realize it was from an Astron Belt until now. It's missing the trigger and there is a tiny piece of plastic missing at the top of one of the black shells, but the "insert" with the exclusive Astron Belt art is here. Feel free to make me a...

Man, I wish I could've gone, it looked like a lot of fun!

The panel footage is finally up! It took longer to edit because I had to fix some audio issues (and I have a hard time looking at myself on camera, lol). Considering this was my first time hosting a reunion such as this, I'd like to think I did an okay job. Hope you guys enjoy!

Here's the IPS patch files for the latest version of the Shield mod. You can use a website like https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/ to patch your original Sinistar ROMs with the new mod data. Enjoy!

The source code for the shield mod is now available on Github! While you can follow the instructions to build the ROMs from the code, I'm also releasing the IPS patch files later today so that everyone can easily generate their own copy that way too. The version that was on the showfloor at...

Sold!

Selling this nice Tron "ENCOM" coin door plate that I bought from This Old Game a long time ago. There's some very, very minor shelfwear with some superficial marks but otherwise, this is in excellent condition. There is no adhesive backing. Asking $30 shipped with Paypal F&F

Wow, this is exciting stuff! Yes, it would awesome to hear more about your experiences, please. I also concur, it would be a good idea to let someone who has the proper equipment and expertise to dump the ROMs safely.

I noticed you're using the older scans of the schematics. I did a higher res scan last year and also included some extra info from the supplement manual, as well as an undocumented PCB mod discovered by Matt Ownby (that just so happens relates to HSYNC). Not sure if that will help in this...
