Yeah this still relies on having a real security chip in place (and games setup for that).

No. Someone else really should though

As long as you describe inputs sufficiently, AIs can figure out the rest themselves nowadays. Point it to mame and it will find the relevant driver, and take it from there. Claude code will also take screenshots of the process and whatnot. Its scary how good modern models are. It will...

Hacky proof-of-concept multi: A game converted to Gamshara: Details for how to do it are at: https://buffis.com/research/namco-system-10-conversions-and-proof-of-concept-multi/ But the TL;DR is unsurprisingly "just ask AI to do it". Works great.

some stuff sold. last last change before storage

I used claude max, which has access to fable. Costs 100$ monthly. Pro is ok for fucking around a bit but you will hit limits very quickly. For rest i dunno. Try it I guess

People are making weird shit with AI nowadays, so I wanted to play that game too. Here's Flying Shark running on a Ibara PCB. Wrote a blogpost about this here: https://buffis.com/shmups/flying-shark-running-on-a-cv1000-ibara-pcb/ Probably the dumbest idea I've ever had, but plays well!

Last chance to grab something before I put things back in storage this weekend

Both Top Blade V and the multi have a capacitor near the connector that is in the way for closing the shell. See pic.

Tried printing without supports and the vents kinda works but looks a bit awkward. Might try with supports tomorrow
