Anyone else that is a big robotron fan try the update, yet?

Man, I'm beyond impressed. 
Feels like it plays at the higher levels as close to real robotron as it would need to be.

Although, mame hardness 0 seems to be similar to real robotron hardness 5

Congratulations Sean Riddle and Aaron G on taking the time to post this williams update.  Brilliant!
Savannan:
Big fan here but are u talking about the enforcer bug being fixed?  ....or what?
Paul Olson:
This is what keeps me so interested in the MAME project. I may never be good enough to see the later levels in Robotron, but I really appreciate the advances made in the emulation, and knowledge, of these games. I always read the whatsnew.txt on a new release, and this stuff is pure gold.

not the enforcer bug. due to work by sean riddle, they finally got the "blit" rate closer to right so the game plays close to the real robotron.
tough game to emulate and this is the first time it is close.

otherwise the game was getting noticably fast pretty much by wave 5 on.  really noticable by wave 30s.

I sold my real robotron due to all the maintenance hassles with the williams boardset so having it on mame with a jpac is a pure joy.  have yet to experience a game with as much challenge and adrenaline rush at the same time.
cheers!

This has become my top 3 games on mame.   I love the "if you dont pay attention or get greedy, you die syndrome"...lol
my highest score is around 800k with normal settings, my friend just over a million...but I tend to show off thou. I literely ruined 2 U360's playing this game..wont use them anymore, their not designed for the abuse that this game has to offer. Now I use 2 undestructible sticks from xgaming.   The way we train for this game is that we set the settings to conservative setting(Hardest), NO free guys...then after a day or so..introduce free guys...then...after playing that way for a few days switch it back to normal and its a noticeable difference..you'll get farther than you think.  Anyways.....

Looking forward to this weekend when I can play the game and see the difference!
