Development Status

0.111u6 [Ville Linde, Guru]
WIP:
- 0.111u6: Ville Linde and Guru added Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth (Hudson/Seta 1998). The PIF Boot rom was not dumped.
- 24th September 2006: Ville Linde - Guru dumped the remaining Nintendo 64-based games in his possession: Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth, Vivid Dolls, Super Real Mahjong VS and Tower & Shaft. The Nintendo 64 emulation in MAME already works quite well, so I was able to get Star Soldier and Vivid Dolls to work with very little effort.
- 22nd February 2005: Guru - Star Soldier (Seta Aleck64 cart) just arrived.
Romset: 12288 kb / 1 files / 9.7 zip
