MAME Info:

0.141u3 [smf]


CD-ROM required


WIP:

- 0.141u3: smf added 'Guitar Freaks 8th Mix power-up ver. (G*C08 VER. JBA)' (Konami 2002) and clone 'Guitar Freaks 8th Mix (G*C08 VER. JAA)'.

- 4th July 2009: smf - Rotten to the core: It's been a while since I've emulated a game with the new system 573 protection, so it took me a little longer to get back into it. Unlike the digital DDR games Guitar Freaks 8th Mix is playable. There are a few more in the pipeline, but they'll have to wait a little while. This had problems booting, because of some known issues with the playstation emulation. I need to verify the changes are correct, but it should help with some other games that I've had problems with in the past.
