Good job!

Frigging Fujitsu. Is every chip they made a piece of **** or what?

Frigitsu.

Thnx...
Nah, I just don't think they were made to last 20+ years };-P

"Rah-jer!"
I've been playing this in my Egret II quite a bit lately.

There's a cool practice mode hack made by Trap15 that you can find here: http://dodonpachi.daifukkat.su/hacks/tdpract/"

Select a stage is useful for practice, but the real nice features here include Full Auto on Button C and disabling the bullet 'wobble'

I wish I had the skills/equipment to burn the EPROMs to use it on my PCB
Anyone know of a service that offers this?

Yup, I did stumble across these hack-ROMs while googling for this rep };-P

But do you btw know what the difference is between the two official NMK-versions of the game (1991 and 1992)? Mine is the first, but if the later is the one that ie Twin Galaxies refers to and maby contains bugfixes etc. I'll rather upgrade my board.

Hobby ROMs sell EPROMs and he also programs them for you at a reasonable fee: http://www.hobbyroms.com/index.html"

Thanks for the link!

I was unaware of the different versions. My board/title screen says 1991.
So the later version would actually say 1992 on the title screen?
Interesting...

Frigitsu.

Sad news for you: Most SNK CUSTOM chips on NEO GEO hardware are Fujitsu parts ...
