ROMS : Updates and Changes News

[ThisAccountIsNew]

It looks like the archives here are still missing games for the Bit Corporation Gamate (1990). This was an obscure handheld designed to imitate the original Gameboy. It was not very successful. As far as I know, the attached file contains all 58 known dumps. With something as obscure as the Gamate, there are likely undumped cartridges out there. Emulation exists in the MESS potion of MAME, and that was used for confirming all the CRC checksums. I have also renamed the files to be much more descriptive. Enjoy!

Thank you so much. I always love to receive obscure roms. I will get these added asap. I also have some great new systems to add for the SEGA.

SEGA fans will love this update, I have four new systems to add to the SEGA arcade systems. The RingWide, the Lindbergh Yellow, Blue, Red and RedEX. These arcade boxes were PC based but with specific changes for large arcade machines. The total new upload is as follows.

SEGA RingWide ISOs (1.87GB)
SEGA Lindbergh Yellow ISOs (8.71GB)
SEGA Lindbergh Blue ISOs (10.4GB)
SEGA Lindbergh Red & RedEX ISOs (9.35GB)

A total of four new systems and over 29GB of new images.

I have another obscure set for the collection. The attached file contains four games for the MyVision (KH-1000), which was released only in Japan in 1983 by Nihon Bussan under their Nichibutsu brand. The console was designed to use game cartridges and special Mahjong expansion cartridges. Four out of the six known game cartridges have been dumped, and no one seems to know if any Mahjong expansion cartridges were made before the Famicom killed this thing off. Not much else to say about something this obscure. If anyone wants to run these through MAME/MESS, just keep them zipped and use the standard process. The games have multiple files each and the filenames are not intuitive.

As far as documentation, this is the best I could find:

Thanks for this, I will get it added now.

Thank you Alzabo.

These Amiga Boing Bag 3 and 4 v1.33 have now been added to the Amiga database. The additional ROM images for the Amiga have also been added to the correct sections under ROMs.

A new system today for the roms. It is a bit of a rare beast as well. A company called Andamiro is well known for having created the arcade dance games like Pump It Up. This is the start of those ISO images from the arcade machines.

Andamiro Pump It Up CD Images (Asia)
Andamiro Pump It Up CD Images (America)
Andamiro Pump It Up CD Images (World)

These images are large in size so this section will be for Unlimited members only I am afraid. More new systems coming soon.

BetterWB v4.0 for AmigaOS 3.1

BetterWB is a new workbench pack, much like AIAB, Amikit, AmigaSYS, ClassicWB, etc. but applying a totally different approach. It aims to be much like an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement penalties typically associated with these kind of packs. It is indeed a better 3.1 than 3.1 itself!

BetterWB best targets:

-Purists that believe anything beyond 3.1 is an overbloated piece of crap
-Low end Amiga computers that are left in storage deprived from any usage, and only regarded as antiques
-Users that refuse to pay big bucks in order to be able to somehow upgrade their Amiga workbench experience
-Minimig users, that are restricted to a 68000 processor
-Anyone that wishes a clean AmigaOS 3.1 like experience

Advantages:

-Works on any Amiga.
-It occupies less than 10MB on a harddrive
-It is distributed as a set of floppy images
-Its usage is simple and bares a high resemblance to an ordinary 3.1 install

Drawbacks:

-Limited eye candy (but it does not compromise performance)
-Will appear incomplete, for high end or heavily expanded Amiga systems (They are probably better with other workbench packs), that rely on visual appealing components.


Requirements:

Any Amiga computer
Kickstart rom 3.1 (May also work under 3.0)
AmigaOS 3.1 disk set (May also work under 3.0)
About 10MB of storage space on a harddrive
