Commando HSS Kit Progress

Sounds good Souzilla and thank you :) In addition to camping this weekend, I got stuck working OT yesterday and tonite, so I'm lagging. I hope to find time tuesday to pickup a desoldering station, get the kit installed and start testing...

Looks like US wins... I will take a look and see if the code is transferable. Should not be too big of an effort. Please keep testing the world version in case there are any bugs in my code that I can fix as well

Almost done with the changes to the US roms. Does anyone involved in the Beta have the ability to burn eproms? Not going to have time to send out new beta eproms?

Any additional issues with the World rom set?
 
Sorry, I don't have an eprom burner (nor have I tried using one). However, I'd be willing to run it in mame.

Haven't seen any other issues in the World rom. Your modifications seem to be working as they should.

I've got a local friend whom I trust that can burn it.. but I totally understand if you'd prefer me not to have him do it for IP security reasons. lmk :)

ok, the US version is done.
To anyone I sent the modified MAME version it will not play US or WORLD, you just need to re-download it.

If anyone who was Beta testing can burn new eproms shoot me an email and I will send you the US version to test
 
Anyone have a chance to try it out?

We just had our son's 7th BDay party yesterday and we're still recovering from the mayhem today... I purchased a solder sucker tool last week, still need to install the hs beta kit. My friend can burn the US roms for me if they reach my email address: [email protected]

I have not gotten much feedback. I think Slava will be shipping out shortly, it's cheaper to find and fix any issues that may be there before they ship. If you pre-paid for a kit and want to try it out in a modified version of MAME that I have please let me know. I would obviously like it tested on real hardware but will take any testing I can get at this point.
 
Yes, sorry fellas, I've been seriously lagging. July is always super busy for me :( The week I received my beta kit, we went camping. Last weekend was our oldest son's BDay. I'll get it installed this weekend for sure, but can you email the US code so I can have it burned?

I've had some time to play on mame a bit more. I've only seen a couple weird graphics glitches (enemy characters will occasionally flash quickly near the bottom of the screen).
I played through the entire game with an invincibility cheat, and saw that after areas 4 and 8 (when the chopper picks you up and drops you off), the players character appears in 2 different spots.
I will try with an original rom, and see if these issues show up there too. Or maybe running the cheat on this play through messed with things.
I can't seem to make it past level 4 on my arcade machine. Maybe someone a bit better than me can tell if this happens with the original eproms in.

Great feedback! If someone can help identify if this happens with the original roms I should have some time to investigate. If it does occur on the original roms I will leave it as is.

If you can get to that point again and save off a snapshot right before it happens that would be useful. I think you should be able to send me a snapshot file (or zip up the mame folder) so it will be easier for me to debug

Any update, getting down to the wire here. If there is a real issue I would like to try and fix it before Slava sends out the kits.
