Re: Sega 16 - Body Slam Won't Start

Hyper Space Squid wrote: Sun Mar 13, 2022 4:57 pm This game was an issue for me back when it was first added to the system 16 beta core, black screen with just the core options. I've never been able to get it to work, hopefully Jotego is aware of the issue and is working on a fix as every other beta release has worked fine except for this one.
I see, many thanks for letting me know.

Hi there, First of all thanks to Jotego for the the public release of the Sega 16 core, this is an awesome collection of fantastic games! Anyways, did somebody manage to get Body Slam to run?I only get a black screen and I can only see the credits screen. I have tried to re-download the MRA but to no avail. All the other System 16 games seem to wor...

Taito Football Champ and/or Taito Kageki Schematics Wanted

Hi chaps, I was wondering if any of you ever came across schematics for either Taito Football Champ or Kageki. I have been hunting for a while but to no avail. As far as Football Champ is concerned, I have also tried to find schematics for the other games running on the F1 System as specified here: http://system16.com/hardware.php?id=662 However, n...

Re: Arcade PCB's Layout Design Book

So I was hoping the actual hardcopy book had better diagrams than the hand drawn ones. I was so relieved to see that they are! Oh yes, absolutely! On the logic analyzer ideally there'd be one that does 24 channels, because you'll see later in the videos that we need to see the address lines and the data lines at the same time. I'll use the Ben Eat...

Re: Arcade PCB's Layout Design Book

It's funny - I was heavily into synths and samplers after my 8-bit computer days, probably the reason I never got into the 16-bit computers. I haven't looked much into the sound side of FPGAs, but I can see that becoming a real rabbit hole! Too funny indeed! I always loved arcade/consoles videogames and synths back in the day!
