This is a release of Bank Panic by Pierco (Pierre Cornier). The RBF is available for his Patreon contributors and the GitHub repository is public if you want to compile it yourself.

Bank Panic is an arcade shooter game developed by Sanritsu Denki and released by Sega in 1984. Bally Midway manufactured the game in the US. The player assumes the part of an Old West sheriff who must protect a bank and its customers from masked robbers.

Would someone please be so kind as to share the compiled .rbf? My apologies in advance if that wouldn't be possible.

Many thanks!

EDIT: Great news, I have re-run Quartus and this time worked like a charm!

Thank you very much for that! I will compare it with mine! Just out of curiosity did you get something like 39 warnings in Quartus? I guess they can be ignored? Am I right?

53 warnings. I did not test the core yet.

Thanks. I have re-run it again and I have got 0 errors, 53 warnings. This core is awesome!!!

Some bug fixes from Pierco for this fun core.

Comparing two compilations will give different results for sure; the compilation involves random numbers for some tasks. Only if the random seed is the same, can you obtain two identical compilations. I don't even know how to get or set the seed, though.

Spanish company Dinamic made a clone of this arcade for the ZX Spectrum (edit: and also for Commodore 64, MSX, and Amstrad CPC according to Wikipedia) called West Bank. When I learned that the Spectrum game originated in an arcade I became interested in it. Not a top fav but still fun.

Guys,

Please forgive my lack of knowledge. Looking at the GitHub repository, following the new release, I can see that the .qpf didn't change but the .sv did.

Does that mean that when I compile again the .qpf then Quartus will automatically look at the new .sv file as well?

Once again sorry for the very basic question but I would love to learn!

Thanks a lot!

One of my favourite arcade games - many thanks Pierco!

I downloaded it as part of Update All and I've been playing it all morning. Seems to be spot on.

However, I notice that the Reset options - "Reset" and "Reset & Close OSD" do not work, is this deliberate?

One of my all-time favourites too. Thanks!

this game is so good thank you

Hopefully jimmystones will be able to add hi score saving at some stage:-)

When playing this on my CRT, the picture is pushed over to the right:

For me too on an arcade monitor but you can use the offset shift in the menu to centre it.
