It would appear that Bionic Commando is broken again?

Unread post by numbski »

Looks like it boots to the system check screen, then flips the picture horizontally and then hangs. I just ran update-all yesterday. I could have sworn this was working prior, but maybe I am losing my mind a bit? :P

Was trying to load up Top Secret, as I was curious about the localization changes there versus the NES release. Tried all of the alts, same result.

US set 1 and US set 2 are doing this for me too. Same thing with the two Top Secret MRAs. The main MRA and the bootleg work.

Same thing here. No way to flip the screen in the OSD and strange definition for the buttons: A, B, X, Y but no Coin and no Start.

Hi, those MRA files hadn't yet been updated with DIP switch controls. I have added it now to Japan/USA MRA files. They looked ok on a quick boot. Run the updater to get them.

MRAs are easy to edit, and I accept pull requests for them here; in case you want to try fixing one of them in the future.
