Hi everyone, I recently had the opportunity to study this game currently present in the MVS library without soundtracks.
I couldn't leave this work unfinished, so I got to work creating a new complete audio driver.
So, have fun, dirty guys. <3

Please forgive my absolute ignorance. So was this game incomplete? How? And in that case, what you've done is... putting the pieces together and complete it?
(Yes, honest question)

This game was an incomplete porting of the game from neocd without soundtrack. I remade the full audio porting with audio conding and readdressing on program. Basically program call audio track on original and I readdress it. Complete new driver audio.

That sounds like a lot of work (from my ignorant point of view anyway!).
So the CD musics was recorded and now the game is playing it as if it was a part of the rom?
 
My mahjong controller won't work on this Omega without modifications, but I confirmed that the files run without issue on the BlackBit.

Minasan no Okage-sama Desu! Dai Sugoroku TaikaiSì
Bakatono-sama Mahjong Man'yukiSì
Janshin Densetsu: Quest of JongmasterSì

The game doesn't support the mahjong controller.
