Yes, although you can enable him in any version: http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic. ... 55#p237555"

Rastan Saga maybe worth a mention? The horrible front end I use (IV/Play) has Rastan (world rev 1) as the parent version. Rastan Saga (Japan rev 1) would be the proper one, with:
- intro sequence and music missing from world version
- different story text on each level clear sequence, instead of the same generic message in world version
- less bats

Hence this thread. Know of any additions where this choice isn't ideal?

It's just a reference document.

With AttractMode I can pull the set names into a "Better.tag" file and plonk "Better" into a filter, so it has indirect use there.

(No boots will be making the better list ;))
I am tempted to break this rule, solely to include joystick hacks for spinner/directional games. Not positive about it though, the emulator itself should be configurable.

Found some motivation (GroovyArcade is in a superb state, and I've been curating my console sets too) to do more work on this. Suggestions welcome!

Quickly skimmed through the list. Regular export version of Landmaker was found and dumped, so no need to use the proto anymore. It's landmakr.zip and it's been made the parent rom.
