It's got an utter and total lackage of a PC-version without an emulator. Already got the Z80 ASM code of it and will be studying up on it in order to port it over to Dos after my exams. Let's just hope it'll work :whistle:

if it would be any easier, the 68000 amiga version is pretty close to the original, although how you got the code for the arcade version ive no idea!

The original Rom (took the Japanese one), then ran it through a disassembler in a Z80 simulator. Arcade version uses a Z80 CPU, hence the code's Z80 too... in this case Z80 ASM, not Basic, thanks to the disassembler. If I had it in Z80 Basic, it'd be easier to port, I guess (or at least easier to read)

ouch! these are the chips in the arcade version
cpu Z80 @ 6MHz
cpu Z80 @ 6MHz
cpu I8X41 @ 0.4MHz <- no idea what that one is, mame doesnt mention it in the screen, but its on MAWS. could be wrong
audio YM2203 @ 3MHz

i dont think there existed a basic that could use 2 z80s?
i dont really understand programming
but i do know z80 is one of the nicer ones for assembler. ive been tempted to try and learn it but i need to find some books

I'll empty my bookmarks for this project here, so you can have a look
Zilog Z80 Resources
Dontronics Z80 page
The Unofficial TNZS Page <- This one's got some things wrong on the files
Z80 Opcodes for ZINT

the kiwi on the flyer from the unofficial tnzs page might end up as my often-threatened kiwi tattoo. if i ever get one
its strange but asm makes more sense to my poor brain than stuff like C ... c is like chinese to me

C/C++ makes more sense to me than ASM. Maybe you could translate the ASM to English for me and I translate the English to C/C++?
