This week we have three classic titles. Passing Shot was my tennis school as a kid and Alien Syndrome was on magazine covers everywhere. And Time Scanner is one of the best-known pinball titles.
Note that for Passing Shot, you will have to look in the Alternatives folder.
After this, we have almost covered all System16A games. There are three titles left that have odd controls. SDI, with a mix of analogue+joystick; Sukeban, a mahjong game with more keys than your PC keyboard; and Major League, which needs three analogue axes for which MiSTer has no support at the moment.
So next week, we will start with System 16B titles. I am sure you have some of your favourites there!
Also, CPS2 finally goes public this week. There are a couple of small things pending, but it's quite solid now to go public. The Q-Sound source code is published now too.
Finally, I have added one more FPGA platform to the supported list: the NeptUNO (the name is derived from the old ZX-UNO, not the card game). This is a bit of a niche platform, yet it has a ZX Spectrum expansion port as its exclusive feature.
Thank you for your support during July and see you next week

Esta semana tenemos tres títulos clásicos. Passing Shot fue mi escuela de tenis cuando era niño y Alien Syndrome aparecía en todas las portadas de revistas. Time Scanner es uno de los títulos de pinball más conocidos.
Ojo que para arrancar Passing Shot, hay que buscar en la carpeta Alternatives.
Después de esto, casi hemos cubierto todos los juegos de System16A. Quedan tres títulos que tienen controles extraños. SDI, con una combinación de analógico + joystick; Sukeban, un juego de mahjong con más teclas que el teclado de tu PC; y Major League, que necesita tres ejes analógicos para los que MiSTer no tiene soporte por el momento.
Asi que, la próxima semana, comenzaremos con los títulos del Sistema 16B. ¡Estoy seguro de que tienes algunos de tus favoritos ahi!
Además, CPS2 finalmente es público esta semana. Hay un par de cosas pequeñas pendientes, pero está bastante sólido para publicarlo. El código fuente de Q-Sound también se publica hoy.
Finalmente, agregué una plataforma FPGA más a la lista: NeptUNO (el nombre se deriva del antiguo ZX-UNO, no del juego de cartas). Esta es una plataforma un poco nicho. Tiene un puerto de expansión ZX Spectrum como característica exclusiva.
Gracias por su apoyo durante julio y nos vemos la semana que viene.

For some reason, my controller inputs (no matter how I map them, or even with specific input mapping removed) - always have the same effect. Up is fire, other directions don't work (start button does)... its odd. Maybe its the mra (not the core?) Just flagging here since others seem to be having issues with it too. The beta.zip works fine and unlocks the core, and I can play all of the other Alien Syndrome Alts fine.

So all the Alien Syndrome Alts work well for me, but there are input issues with the mra listed directly under the _Arcade folder..
