Thanks for the kind words. This was a lot of fun to do especially with the help of some very good friends. Even managed to design some super fast vram loading techniques in the process.
For the neogeo cd users... we're on the case. It should be possible as long as we get the cd audio sync right.
So yeah.. anyway, kinda ignored the thread over the last couple weeks as I've been sick but I've bounced back now.
Thanks for all the lovely comments, was fun sharing the development journey here and it's great seeing people enjoy the result of the hard work.
There will be a final version...
Nope and I won't even entertain the idea. The fun part of this process is digging through the original game code and data and unearthing it's structure. It's like digital archeology.
Sorry if this is a double reply.
On changing characters, you can only do this if you are in 2 player mode and the continue timer runs out. This is how the arcade works.
As for 2 player mode, this was tested extensively on real hardware so... I dunno.
Going to do a short stream tomorrow so we can package this bad boy up and get it released. In the mean time, enjoy the Neo Geo CD version with epic orcehstral soundtrack by Richard Douglas.
Thanks for the offer dude but I already have a sizeable team of golden axe professionals and owners of a super wide varaiety of neo geo hardware.
Shouldn't be long now though.
