Bock sent me an email yesterday telling me of some new games he had dumped from the place that is on the verge of war! No I'm not talking about Israel, Turkey or Iran...I'm talking about Korea!
Three of these new games (soon to be released by SMS Power!) use a new mapper. So RetroCopy had to add support for this new mapper. While I was at it I also redesigned the cartridge system of the SMS core to be more similar to that of the Megadrive and NES cores.
Two of the new dumps use "no mapper", and they break if you support the standard SEGA mapper system. RetroCopy has support for "no mapper" already so this was easy enough. I also added a way to select a SRAM cart of upto 64KB in the .GAME format. This could be used by homebrew developers that use small 32KB rewritable carts for testing.
These new dumps are generally uninspiring and are apparently ported from the MSX, so they use the older TMS9919 crappy graphics modes (no fancy backgrounds or sprites). You can see the TMS sprite limitation in the first game, the fighter on the right has blacked out part of the "city background" due to using the background tiles.
Also we have now gone over 1000 RetroCopy members... which is a nice little milestone. Maybe v0.800 won't be too far away!
