Title: well I did it, I finished my year goal, 8 months early...
Post by: iankellogg on April 07, 2014, 07:29:01 am
I had an explosive winter when it comes to game buying, I acquired 12 games in 3 months mostly in non-working condition. I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore games until I got every game I owned working in some form. This weekend I hit that goal and now I need to buy more games!.

Pole position is now 100% functional.
DK jr is mostly playable, some issues still remain with sound.
Phoenix is playable
Punchout is 100% playable
Karate champ is playable but colors are inverted
Jungle king has a Taito emulation board and 100% working, ugly as sin though.
Crazy Taxi is working with only a shifter problem (won't stay in gear)
Scramble is 100% now, no ram errors.

How's everyone else's projects going?
