MAME Info:
0.145u4 [Uncle Tom, The Dumping Union]
WIP:
- 0.145u4: Uncle Tom and The Dumping Union added 'Power Shovel ni Norou!! - Power Shovel Simulator' (Taito 1999). Yasuhiro Ogawa corrected game title.
- 11th March 2012: Ville Linde - WIP Screenshots of Power Shovel Simulator.
- 12th March 2011: Ville Linde - Some Taito Type-Zero games were dumped last year, and MAME already has a skeleton driver for it. Out of curiosity, I decided to have a look at the system. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out the format for character tile data, only to realize that it's simply stored as a 512-pixel wide two-dimensional array (duh). MAME already has a TLCS900-core for emulating the IO-processor, but I don't know if it's sufficiently emulated for use in this system. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Ultimately I would like to see Power Shovel Simulator running in MAME.
