Hi,
Just thought some of you might be interested in my windows Patching program for Arcade Roms. It has patches for 285 rom sets covering 78 different games.
A significant number of these are for High Score Saving as well as Freeplay, Flip Screen and conversions. It is available on the UKVac forum http://www.ukvac.com/forum/arcade-rom-patcher-v3_topic363397.html
It is simpler for me to only monitor this one location for issues etc. There is no charge for the program or the patches, though if you use it a small donation would be nice, even a $1 adds up which means more boards and more patches. I only put patches in that I have been able to try on real hardware.
