    Which rom should i be playing?

    Thought something was weird

    I will pop another score in when i get the proper rom

    Roms bublbobl.zip
    Main screen will display bubble bobble

    Roms bublbobl.zip

    I had trouble finding a rom that worked, it might have something to do with the rom and/or the emulator that I am using, WolfMAME. It turns out that there are two files floating about. One is a 173kb file and the other is 180kb, the 180kb file is the one that worked for me.

    Bobble bobble is the rom of the bootleg bubble bobble which back in the day there was copy protection on one of the rom chips so they guessed/rewrote the code for this rom.
    This results in the game playing differently than the original
    Eg. White ghosts not shooting balls, bubbles not emulated properly, random or not so random fruit bonuses not appearing as they should

    Are we only sticking to classic games or can we select something which isn't limited to 8 bits? :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,406 ✭✭✭brianon


    So long as it's in MAME then I'd say it's ok to pick. Just so long as everyone can play it.

    Some great scores above alright. I had a couple of goes but only got up to about stage 12. Was never really into the game at all.

    My nomination for the next one is Battle Garegga (Japanese version). Time to get some shmup action in this :D

    Oh thank fook! :pac:

    Make sure to play the type 1 Japanese version lads and not the type 2 girly one with the big bright bullets...! :D

    If you're having difficulties seeing the enemy fire then you're playing the right one. ;)
