Why did update all include Michael Jackson's Moonwalker arcade ROMs?

[rhester72]

Question in the title...I don't see where this is associated to any core (but it's certainly interesting!).

OK, but there is no MRA that references the ROMs and no core that seems to align with it. I understand if it's a beta, but I can't find it at all.

I believe it’s part if Sega System18 which is under beta development.

I can only assume it’s included to make beta testing easier for beta testers.

I do see a Michael Jackson in the list but can't start the game unless you're a patreon.

I do have 'Michael Jackson's Moonwalker' in my list of arcade cores, downloaded by update_all. Including the matching ROM. And sure you can start the core, just not play it (won't register your button presses as usual with the jt beta cores).

Just got to be a Patreon of JoTegos, and you need the key to make it work that Patreons get.

But non-patreons get it all after 90 or is it 60 days or something. It's only a few quid to sign up. Plus you get to know what's being worked on, and the fortnightly core updates.

The early Patreon releases are aways beta and have bugs to iron out. Jotego likes to be happy with them before release rather than wait for a given time period.

[rhester72]

I've done several updates now and still no MRA. Ugh.

[rhester72]

Derp! Didn't realize betas had a separate setting.

the MRA can be downloaded from GitHub:

getting a black screen but working sound on my arcade crt, but I've read this is a common issue, is that correct?

[jts18]
video_mode=640,16,64,80,240,1,3,14,12380
vga_scaler=1

Then set Scale: Wider HV-Integer

I don’t know anything about modelines and got lucky this worked.

Can I just quickly hijack the topic and ask something.
Does the update_all download all the arcade ROMs that are available or do I have to search for some of them myself?
