        Well since there was nothing on the tv tonight to keep me occupied i went ahead and added this.........

        Touch & Go (Korea, unprotected)

        touchgok.png

        I've activated the gaelco2 single screen video hack so this game will boot to a single monitor display, the other game which will now do likewise is World Rally 2
        although due to the game going haywire if you crash the car as it's missing the Dallas DS5002FP protection MCU i've demoted it to not working status in
        MAME2003-Plus

        Nothing on the tv tommorow night either i might as well try and get another game up and running in this ole core :)

              Thanks to a tip from @arnoldsecret Hyper Duel is now playable in MAME2003-Plus, the game would reboot before level one started previously
              also fixed up the parent rom as per MAME by using the graphical roms from the clone set which are good dumps.

                  There seems to be a problem with the rom paths on certain platforms.......

                  https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues/718

                  @markwkidd or @grant2258 i assume it might have been one of you guys that made the changes to how the core paths are handled.?? then again this core has
                  had a few cooks lately when it comes to code changes on the libretro side, all i ask is who ever broke it puts it right when they have the time

                    This is most likely 3ds specific. I would suggest posting on the actual RA github more logs ect will probably be needed to see whats going on.

                      Aye fair enough bigman, i've asked them if the same thing happens when using the MAME2003 core to see if the problem is with plus or as you suggest
                      lies elsewhere, im not gonna delve into this matter any further as i prefer to stick with the MAME side of the code :)

                              Winding down with this core nowadays but i'll still take on the odd fixup should the workload not be to great, as per a tip from @arnoldsecret it turns out a couple of
                              NeoGeo games were totally broken in MAME2003 while a third had some niggles here and there, the problem was some incorrect code to handle the graphical zooming
                              anyway Top Players Golf, Tecmo World Cup Soccer 96 are now playable Thrash Rally doesn't have the graphical problems when the track zooms in and out.

                              Other NeoGeo games might have also been affected so this could sort more than the games which i mentioned, finally i added a small speedup circa MAME84
                              which should improve the performance in these games for this core.

                              Tecmo World Cup 96 before and after

                                @arcadez2003 Thanks for the fixes, I had noticed the zooming artifacts on Thrash Rally!

                                  Some Taito related improvements i've added to the MAME2003-Plus core over the last month or so taken from later MAME builds.........

                                  0.144: Angelo Salese added a preliminary ES5510 DSP DRAM input/output latches support in Taito F3 driver, fixes sound in Riding Fight.
                                  7th November 2011: Angelo Salese - Implemented ES5510 DSP DRAM latches to Taito F3 driver, this adds full sound to Riding Fight.

                                  0.144: Angelo Salese added a preliminary ES5510 DSP DRAM input/output latches support in Taito F3 driver, fixes sound in Ring Rage.
                                  7th November 2011: Angelo Salese - Implemented ES5510 DSP DRAM latches to Taito F3 driver, this gives correct sound to Ring Rage without going into test mode first.

                                  0.102u5: Nicola Salmoria fixed butterfly wings do not work properly, when you get the 'Freeze Time' bonus.

                                  0.89u1: More Taito F2 blending improvements [Bryan McPhail]. Added the TC0360PRI blending modes to the games with rotation layers. This includes Pulirula & Liquid Kids. One of the blending modes is new to these games (not used in Gun Frontier) and I have no way to verify it's actually correct - someone with a working board will need to verify (Liquid Kids: Fish going in water,
                                  Pulirula: Crystals on level 2).

                                  0.88u6: Support for extra effects in Taito F2 driver [Bryan McPhail]. Transparent sun in 1st level of Metal Black. Special effect on Metal Black level 5 boss who slides in under the bottom tilemap. All known effects in Gun Frontier (see the attract mode). The update also provides full 5 tilemap layer priority support in Metal Black (was previously 4 due to pdrawgfx limitation), and fixes priority problems in Ninja Kids.

                                  Gun & Frontier
