About that rainbow islands boot, I got it working a little better. All colour is restored. Plays fine and sounds fine. Only one issue remaining, the character sprites have lines going through them. See in the pic below.
so if youre still interested in giving it a shot to get back to 100%, its all yours. 25 quid posted sound okay?
Or if you pass its open to whoever

Not quite retro but ordered Toejam & Earl Back in the Groove today, a physical copy for the Switch, from Limited Run Games.
Wasn't too expensive, around €40 or so, and it'll be nice alongside the other TJ&E games for the MD and Xbox.
TJ&E: Back in the Groove0 -
Oh yes! After a LONG time searching high and low Ive snagged monster maulers
I wasn't willing to pay the stupid prices for the couple available on ebay and im glad I didn't! Very rare, but no games are worth that much to me. This brings me way back to fun times in the arcades.
Most wont get the game and see it as a knockoff of streetfighter, but its genuinely fantastic, a parody game that's half 1-on-1 and half scrolling beat-em-up. Dotted with loads of references from other konami games, music from Salamander, enemies from gradius and so on.
Great graphics and music is top notch, and you have to love the Japanese singer with the title tune. The Japanese name for the game is "dadandarn" which is a spoof thing that's added to the likes of power ranger shows over there. A cult-ish game if ever there was one.
Heres a video of the gameplay, a decent run-through

I'll have to watch that video at home as I'm not sure what it fixes but even the visual elements on that board were off. I've not used mame in a while in fairness but I remember for years background layers were given the wrong priority.
For instance on the second stage sprites would pass in front of foreground objects like the poles going past and the boss would appear in front of the crates he was meant to be behind.
Actually thinking about it, I think Monster Maulers is built on the XexeX board which had loads of issues when I played it last on Mame. Used the old engineering tactic of more processors/video processors = more power. That board was insanely complex though as it's one of the most advance 2D boards made at the time. Be interesting to see if it's more accurate now.

You could join that site and submit a bug report to the dev team
That's a bit too time intensive for me I'm afraid. If people want to start sending me games for free, like that Australian guru dude, then I'll consider it

Funny how it happens alright, I guess sometimes priorities shift and folks have a 'why do I have all this old crap lying about my house?' epiphany.
...I am yet to ever reach that stage :pac:
I got there recently. Renting and moving job all the time sucks and the eye of Sauron has grown stronger. So most stuff is in the attic and I've installed Retroarch

Just make sure you seal it all up well and then just forget about it for a while - I did that for years and years, it's absolutely amazing taking everything out of storage and putting it on display in a permanent location. You start finding really cool stuff you'd completely forgotten you had.0 -

I really wish I could wrap everything up. I have most in big storage boxes but my parents have reorganized the attic about three times which is basically shove my games all the way at the back and bury them under everything. It's really annoying when you are looking for a specific game In the last move I put stuff up there temporarily which I'm actually using and then they buried that.
Saving for my own place now. Either that or I'm going to have to find a girl with roadside frontage.

At least you know it's a quality product you're getting when buying from him, lovely stick that is. Also, eBay is still a thing? Haven't been on there in years. 0 -

Best of luck! Can we finally get you to join the candy club when you do? :pac:At least you know it's a quality product you're getting when buying from him, lovely stick that is. Also, eBay is still a thing? Haven't been on there in years.
Definitely, he really has a good eye, matching the start button yellow with the stick shaft and then the blue with the VMU really works.
Few pics;
Nice low angle artsy one in memory of our polyethylene sniffing friend.
