This game works fine. There is an initialization process needed for this game to work, like most of the gambling/type games. http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/FAQ:Games#Island_.2F_Island_2 If you are not getting a screen which says "INIT SCREEN" then your build is suspect. Please ensure you have a properly built binary. |

actually this is a valid report. the island2a set doesn't work, and isn't tagged as such. I don' know if it's a bad dump, or somehow encrypted like some of the (currently unsupported) bootlegs are. |

It was my error in assuming that island2/2a worked the same. I only tested island2. It's obvious it never did work testing back to it's first inclusion (0.133u3). I'll reopen and confirm the report. Thanks for the examination, Haze. |

this set is very weird bootleg for "Crazy Monkey" PCB. it needs some magic numbers in ram: multfish_bram[0x2003] = 0x01; multfish_bram[0x4003] = 0x02; |

sounds like they added some basic protection device to the bootleg then. |

btw. My previous report for deadeye appears to be mame fault. In Direct3D game works as expected but in Directdraw and GDI main playfield is not visible. Sorry to post here but I cannot add this comment beacuse report is closed. |

Haze, no, all known "bootlegs" is just selfmade WinHEX hacks, for stock PCBs with different "heads" (e.g. rombank port). except "lottery" bootlegs -some of them have xored and address-swapped GFX-roms. this set differs from parrent just 10 bytes, and for stock "old" PCB with F9-rombank. I made some debugging and found that the only way in which this set will work - the presence of those bytes in RAM. most likely they are placed there when watchdog is triggered. |

That's unlikely, a watchdog can't trigger the addition of bytes, it just resets the machine. There must be an additional device to put those bytes there, or some secret input sequence on startup to do the same. Anything else is both illogical, and impossible. |

I forget exactly when this was fixed, but it works now. Resolving. |
