What's new
Alright! This has been a fun test release. The download will expire tomorrow (but it sounds like @Robbbert is graciously adding it to HBMAME if you missed out (or had trouble building it). Here's what I'll adjust for the *real* release. If I missed anything, drop me a note.

1) XDelta is the new hotness, so I'll probably use that next time
2) The .bat file idea worked well enough for many people, so I'll make one of those again assuming xdelta supports it
3) Many folks use merged or split romsets, and MiSTer update-all does too, so I'll be prepared for that next time. (I use non-merged for simplicity and always forget, sorry)
4) Prepare MiSTer MRA files ahead of time
4) Everyone universally and unconditionally loved this release
5) You're all good sports. Happy Holidays!

Noooo.... not another patching tool. Is this the one that hasn't been updated for almost 8 years?

The new HBMAME should be released in about 14 hours from now.
 
There is also xDelta UI which gives a graphical interface, xDelta > Lunar IPS IMO
 
BOSSES

I can keep this one short and sweet. All the bosses got new palettes. The Big Bee (Kouryuu/Hachi?) and Hibachi look the same. Everyone got bullet pattern adjustments of some sort, but I'm not going to detail them all since that spoils a little bit of the surprise. I'll leave you with this quote:

Some changes are subtle (loop 2 boss 2, look at the red bullets)

Some are not so subtle (loop 2 boss 3... self explanatory)

Loop 2 Boss 6 got a bit angrier

Didn't had the time to test it during holidays (but download it to be able to...)
I tried yesterday and stay blocked to the "Cave" intro :D
No control :(

But, anyway, thanks for this amazing work @ekorz 8)<3
 
Thanks for all the hard work to everyone inlvolved in this!

Are there even any verified owner(s?) of this original Campaign version pcb?

As I understand it there was literally only one PCB ever made, so it's just the winner of it.
oh... and I guess that person doesnt want it to be released then.. and Cave has most certainly "lost" the original source code as all the japanese companies magically does... they love them limited edition thing they..
 
Well, this isn't going to win me any new friends today.

I just learned some new information, which unfortunately is not my role to disclose right now. Given the new info, it is abundantly clear to me that the best course of action for everyone, especially the shmup community, is for me to pause the public release of my project indefinitely. I'm hopeful that this info will become public in the not too distant future, at which point I expect you will understand my decision (and then, yes, we can be friends again).

Looking forward to what's next :)

I'm sure you have good reasons for this.
