With MPU4 rapidly reaching a point where I can go no further without sitting down to do a huge amount of work on the CHR's for BWB and coinworld etc, Its time to start on tech 2. The question is, which tech?

Scorp 1
Scorp 2
M1A
SRu
Sys80
Sys81
Sys83
Sys85
Proconn
Impact
MPU1
MPU2
MPU3
Summit Tech
Electrocoin (bar-x)
Electrocoin Pheonix (Pyramid)
MPS
MPS2
Castle
sp.ACE
Rainbow Gambler Tech
System 1
System 5


Please indicate which tech you would like to vote for and I will count up at the end. Rather than doing a poll.

[fruitsnappa]

Castle, without a shadow of a doubt.

[Matty.N]

Scorp 5 & MPU6

Lol id have to say castle or M1A

not played any castle but they look good from what ive seen on Spa's vids

But ill vote for M1A, sorry castle but ill have to go to maygay

Edit: does this mean Simpsons could be Emu'd in the near future if M1A wins?

[stevedude2]

Phoenix, System 80 non-runners, Castle

In that order.

That would be Epoch tech, M1A/B is already emulated fairly well in MFME. Only a few games do not run, and in 9.4 most of those work now too.

[ploggy]

The two Electrocoin techs, closely followed by SRU. They're the techs I would like to see done next. What's the Rainbow Gambler tech, mate?

[Guitar]

What's the Rainbow Gambler tech, mate?

Lol, no idea, or I would have used the right name. Its just the tech that the machine Rainbow Gambler uses. I think it may well just be logic chips and not a tech as such.

[ploggy]

I can't even picture the machine in my head.

Got a picture of the machine in question?

[superbank]

Would very much love to see SRU running!!

[Geddy]

To be honest anything that is not publically available....

[hitthesix]

toss up between sys80 and proconn. or even perhaps electrocoin.

[exibizarep]

These techs mean nothing to me unfortunately. But I would have to side with Geddy.
If you can develop something that allows for some non runners to play, it would certainly put your emu up there.

[ploggy]

Okay. Here's another question. Which tech would be the easiest to emulate, that hasn't been done?

Which unemulated tech do we have the most information about?

[FRUITJUNKIE1971]

Glad to see your emulator going from strength to strength, Guitar.

These techs would be welcome next

1st Electrocoin (Bar-X)
2nd Electrocoin Phoenix (Pyramid)
3rd Castle.

[barxfan]

Electrocoin (bar-x)
Electrocoin Pheonix (Pyramid)

Please please please Electrocoin

[Matty.N]

You need schematics to go about emuing yes?

cant someone who has access to say BFG's file area & see if the schematics are on there?

[spa]

1st Electrocoin (Bar-X)

3rd Castle.

Same but with 1 and 2 the other way round

[Guitar]

Ok well, Im starting with SRu.

1. I had the docs on my pc already
2. Pheonix tech is one I would love to do. However I dont have any resources at all.
3. Electrocoin bar-x, see above
4. Proconn, one day yes, but its been done already.
5. SRu looks easiest.

and theres roms for it as well.
