MAME 0.114 - Beatmania the Final

<< < (3/3)

my58vw:
Haze, so what do you need? The PCBs and Hard Discs? I am in the process of buying a beatmania the final machine, and may possably be able to send the hardware if needed.

Haze:
Well the problem was that all we had were a bunch of rom CRCs, nothing more, we were never sent the boards / drives etc. so that we could check that the CRCs were real, not just made up, and we don't support sets long-term based on hearsay as we aren't able to test the driver at all.

For BeatMania the Final to be supported the roms and hard disk need dumping by a member of the development team.  Likewise the PopN series.

The BeatMania drives are slightly tricker to dump than the others because they're password protected, the and password is stored in the program roms so it's a bit trickier than just using CHDMAN as you would with other games.

If you have access to any of the said games (or 7th mix, club mix, or undumped revisions of the already supported sets) then you should contact the development team via mamedev.org, and hopefully somebody will get in touch with you.  Once we can correctly verify things support will be added.
