Are you referring to the dashed lines?

I only noticed it with the female.

It happens with all the characters depending on what is on the screen at the time. It even happens during the demo. I can post a pic or a video if needed.

The NeoSD Pro also has a lot of issues with AES (maybe all flash carts do) so it could be that. I'm not fully concerned about it, just letting the dev know!

No need for a video. Fully aware of what's going on, just couldn't get the code to run fast enough to svoid it for all cases. So here we are.
 
hey, first of all thanks for the great port, I grew up with Golden Axe on the Amiga 500, it was one of my favorite games in my childhood.

I have now tested the Rom on my Neo Geo CD (with Furrtek's NGCD loader) as well as AES (NeoSD Pro, Unibios 4.0) + MVS (NeoSD, Unibios 4.0). With the latter two, I immediately noticed graphics bugs in the NeoGeo splash screen and in the in-game menu.
Are there still incompatibilities with Unibios 4?
ah and in the multicart selection menu the game is only displayed as “Golden”

Yes, I know, terraonion... I'm not a fan of the company either, but their multicarts were available at the time...

I can confirm all of this as well. Most of it is probably not fixable but maybe changing "Golden" to GA is?

I'm in UB 3.3 by the way.

No problem at all. This is still without a doubt amazing! I don't know if I'll bother pulling down my PCB again...

I'm excited for whatever project you talked next, you have a new fan for sure!
 
Looks like Unibios 4.0 introduces too long delays on the VBlank interrupts which is where it interferes with the normal behaviour.. Too long delays can cause gfx glitches with most carts. The cart itself is also injecting code in the Vblank so all together can create under some circustamces an unexpected behaviour.

It has been tested with our MVS Multi and it works great, so I'm glad about it. The conversions themselves are just magic. Only people that has done such work, know everything that is behind. It's a challenging task. You should call Capcom and Taito and make conversions for them ;)

I have tested on AES (3-6) and MVS with NeoSD/UNIBIOS 4.0 as well.

Glitches on the UNIBIOS splash/menus and UNIBIOS in game menu seems to be common with some homebrew?

The game itself works great.

I don't care about this at all but I noticed on AES:

When set to MVS mode the "D" menu option settings don't impact the game. I didn't realize I was in MVS mode (garbled splash) and was wondering what was going on. Then I figured it out.

Another issue caused by unibios.
 
I always screw up my links somehow…
Corrected, and correct :thumbdown:
 
Hi Folks - I am trying to play this with my Darksoft Multi AES - any trick to getting it to work? I modified the romsets.xml and copied over shinobi with the goldenaxe information - and tried putting that xml files different places, but it never comes up in the Game List.

Thanks!

Matt

You just pick a game you don't like and put this one in it's place.

I recommend the legend of success Joe.

Then you choose that game and it loads.
 
Hey @h0ffman excellent port again and thanks a lot and whole team. I just saved on the Neo Geo CD.

2 things happen with me and I think is my console because I never updated the unibios.

- during continue, not able to select different characters.
- player 2 not playable just start is working. None the other buttons or direction is working.

Graphic and sound perfect
Just a little lagging when you finish the final boss and the queen and the king are being pulling down.

The rest perfectly
Thanks
