JT Friday April 14

[jca]

2 of his cores were updated: jtcomsc.rbfand jtcontra.rbf -> Fixes flip DIP.
For his patrons Haunted Castle beta has been released.
No news on OutRun.
Pang3 still missing in action.

There was also a mega update of Jotego mras which looks like a change in the names. Now the names are completely messed up.

The alternatives for atrac17/coin-op_collection got the same treatment as the Jotego mras: messed up names.

Note: I am not sure if the changes in mras are directly related to JT Friday.

From what I saw when it was running, It looked like it deleted the .mras in the alternative folder and redownloaded them to the main Arcade folder. I could be wrong though.

What is the issue with Pang 3?

What is the issue with Pang 3?

During the JT Friday mega update Feb24 and Feb 26 it was removed. To this date it is not back.

[Moondandy]

That's odd, has nobody asked him direct about it or raised a ticket? It's probably just an omission.

[jca]

Running update all again will fix the mra names mess and also download IremM92 alternatives.
It looks like it is not related to JT Friday but an update from update all.

There is an interesting fix/hack for the arcade version of STRIDER released on April 17th... I wonder if Jotego is aware of this interesting history of the Strider roms:

I think he is aware, but this is not a core issue, it's a ROM issue so he won't change the core for it. I you want to play this version, just patch the ROM yourself.

I'm hoping one day the update all script gets a cool hack section like Smokemonster use to back in the day.

Teaching someone how to do it already.

That is good news, atrac17! I wonder if the prototype version of Strider will be playable? Maybe it is; I must check in Arcade_Offset.
