Tiger Road/Bionic Commando Beta Release
Added 2019-10-27 21:49:23 +0000 UTCIt was my birthday today, so here is a present for you :-)
This has been an intense month with a lot of new components. Trying to gain momentum for the CPS1 task I have worked on two cores that share elements with it:
-The M68000 CPU
-The brightness control (already described here)
-The YM2151 (related post)
The work has been a bit hard because Bionic Commando uses a microcontroller (MCU) for security. Interfacing this MCU with the other two CPUs has been a bit complex. I also had to try several open source i8051 (that's the MCU type used) cores to find one that seems to work ok.
These cores still have some issues, particularly with sound. Yet, both are fully playable.
You can download the cores from here. Please do not distribute the beta versions.
