Anybody succeeded in getting this into their cab?

Thanks!

I had been following Max's work on this back when he began just looking into the audio stuff.
I got really distracted with life things that couldn'e be ignored, and then he decided he would teach himself how to disassemble the original code, find a new assembler that could manage the task of rebuilding this game entirely, and then rewriting the ENTIRE thing to compile with what he had talked with the original developers as being the way they really wanted the game to be.

WOW

So finally I may have time to get around to working on this for my Jrok Sinistar scratch build.
I am code stupid mind you, and have no clue how anything works on getting things off GitHub but I believe that properly named roms copied to my Jrok may actually work.

We'll see who succeeds first I guess?

Are you working with an original machine or a mame box or...?

I am overdue with sending him some $$ to show appreciation for the YEARS he spent working on this.
I know he has a Patreon acct and somewhere on klov I saw a paypal address for him too.

That gent has earned some cheddar for sure.

I messaged him & he pointed me to the ROMs. I'm just super busy, & this is a low priority, so I'm not sure when I'll get to putting it on my old MAME cab. You'll probably win.

Thanks
