Namco System 1?

Unread post by clarkkent »

I wonder if somebody is working on a Namco System 1 core? Missing Galaga 88 and Pacmania a lot…

Hey Supes ;)

Just play the PS1 versions on Namco Museum 1 - 5 and Encore (Japan only), once Robert has completed his PSX-core.
The ports are fantastic, with only Dragon Spirit affected by slowdown and dropping frames.
Screen rotation is also supported, but only in one direction.
Splatterhouse and Galaga '88 aren't available, but you can give some other favs a go:

Pacmania
Rolling Thunder
Dragon Spirit
Dragon Saber
Ordyne
Legend of Valkyrie
Assault
Pac-Land
Metrocross

These are also available using the X68000 core, identical to the arcade games afaik.

I know, I’m using the Pc Engine right now (unfortunately easier than the arcade version) but Galaga 88 is a vertical game, no console version supports this. So a Namco System 1 core would be really gerat! :)

I have a Pacmania and a Rolling Thunder PCBs already. They are not at the top of the to-do list but we'll receive attention next year.
Open IP for many chips in my github account
RBF files for my MiSTer cores in jtbin

Well, the easy answer is for you to free up some more developer slots on your Patreon so people can help guid you to these games faster!!!!
