Updated the report including other disk images from 07083 that should be really here. (batman and robocop). The 07083 report should be resolved, not closed, since the main issue with the Golden Axe disk image was solved, and was a different problem (The disk loaded fine, but some garbage appeared ingame.) |

Really there are two issues: - Game leads to a striped screen: Speedlock +3 protection - weak sectors. Hard to implement (and it would need some support from softlist). Examples: Out Run, Robocop, After Burner, Buggy Boy, W.E.C. Le Mans... - Game leads to a red border and reset: Paul Ownens protection. Easy to fix but it would need to implement a new device. Examples: Batman-The Movie, Cabal, Chase HQ... |

Out of interest, why would Paul Owen's stuff need a new device? was it a dongle? |

No, I mean another upd765 device type. Real machine uses a normal upd765 but it only use the US0 pin to select drives (the US1 is disconnected) so it only can select two drives (and then drive 2 = drive 0 and drive 3 = drive 1). Games with Paul Owens protection selects drive 2 to continue loading. Real hardware -> driver 2 = driver 0 -> is ready- > load Mame -> driver 2 = driver 2 -> is not ready -> reset |

hmm then it should surely be possible to configure the device to have that behaviour in MAME if the pin is disconnected? if it's regular upd765 it shouldn't need a new device, just an option for the device. |
