Sea Wolf: Any interest in a custom Sea Wolf test rom?
When my Sea Wolf wasn't working, I used the Space Invaders test rom. It leaves a little to be desired when used on Sea Wolf though. It doesn't test the lights, and of course the screen text isn't ideal for Sea Wolf.
I have my game working now, but nonetheless it motivated me to alter the SI test rom to make a program that is ideal for Sea Wolf.
Is anyone interested in this?
Some ideas I had:
Also, if you have a burner and are interested in test versions, let me know (or you could also test in mame if you want). Otherwise I'll probably only post when I have an "official" release.
Attached is version 2.0 of the Sea Wolf test program. Please let me know if you make use of this! Instructions are in the zip file.
If you don't have a burner, steph at www.hobbyroms.com will burn the chip for you I'm sure, and I doubt it would cost much.

Some ideas I had:
- Test explosion and periscope lights (this is a given) - done
- Decode the periscope inputs to give a better indication of position - done
- Named inputs rather than just numbers - done
- Press torpedo button to repeatedly play the current sound or light the current bulb rather than auto-cycling through them. - done
