1942 on its way
Added 2019-01-21 21:57:12 +0000 UTCI started working on porting the 1942 arcade schematics to Verilog. This board is slightly older than Ghosts'n Goblins. The circuits are simpler and you can see they were less experienced when they made the electronics.
The background can only scroll in one direction, the number of sprites is more limited and the colour handling is full of PROM chips, a sign of uncertainty in the design.
I can reuse a lot of the files and experience from Ghosts'n Goblins so I hope to deliver this game rather quickly. Stay tuned!

I have been checking the schematics of that system. It contains many custom parts so I would need to acquire one actual PCB and take measurements if we want an accurate clone. Which game do you like from Namco System 1?
