Robotron patch
<< < (2/8) > >>
secret80sman:
Isn't this one of the reasons why we have clones of the original games? This one could be called Robotron (corner shot fix edition). This way the original remains, well...original, screw ups and all and then users can opt to use the hacked/fixed clone (whatever you wanna call it) as they wish.
Malenko:
meh, I dont see why MAME cant support both. By MAMEs classification it is a hack; so just call it Robotron Blue Label(patch/hack) or something like that.  I think its great to keep everything authentic, butif it can fix something thats broke , then why not? Not like its a crappy game like 720 =P
bkenobi:
But MAME doesn't include hacked versions unless they appeared in at least one arcade, right?
newmanfamilyvlogs:
Has there ever been discussion about moving the mame definitions for games outside of the executable? I know it will generate XML files with what it supports, and that's what things like ClrMamePro end up using.. but why not have it external to begin with? Then people who want to tinker with non-official roms like this wouldn't have to compile in custom versions of mame to support them.

I dunno, did they ever add support for the Zeus hack of UMK3? I know its been in at least 1 arcade cause I let the batting cages borrow my roms on their UMK3 board for a couple weeks lol Speaking of that, apparently theres a new hack for UMK3 I need to get hobbyroms to burn me
