Pang! 3 -CPS beta #8-
🕑 Added 2020-05-01 11:25:10 +0000 UTCSmooth animations, new game elements and a full art gallery, that's Pang! 3. This game has copy protection, an EEPROM chip and the ROM dump is a bit special so it took a while to have it ready. But, here it is!
DMA timing is better adjusted in this release. You will see that many of the slowdowns are now gone or diminished. I think the remaining slowdowns are genuine of the CPS system.
12MHz speed should be correct this time too. And in case you want to play games without the DMA or 10MHz speed limitation, just select turbo on the OSD.
Most of the GFX issues that had been reported are fixed.
V/H sync pulse adjust on CRT screens is now possible via OSD. The first two options when you brought up the OSD are H adjust and V adjust in that order. Even if you don't get a stable image, you can switch them blindly until your screen locks in. Once you have a setting you like, remember to save settings on the OSD. Because of how MiSTer is designed, you cannot have universal settings for all CPS games so you'll have to adjust each one individually.
Some MRA files for bootlegs that require hardware modifications are removed.
MiST/SiDi: DIP switches are now available. Be sure to update your firmware to the latest release. You will need to regenerate the ARC files with the latest mra tool release too. I have included a zip with all ARC files so you can skip that step.

There was a problem with MRA files. Terminator2k2 has shared fixed MRA files for these games in our Discord server

GAMBADE / MERCS and PNICKIES really don't work properly with this new version of the CPS1 core (Mister jtcps1_20200502.rbf)

Where can I get the new/fixed/recompiled files? I downloaded the 20200501 set from this post last night, and there were still graphical glitches in multiple games and some games wouldn’t even start.

Retested new files from today - all main versions of games (and all the alts I tried) now seem to be working correctly, with the exception of Mercs, which I believe you're aware of and Pnickies which also has graphical issues in game for me. Thanks for the continued updates - CPS1 nearly compete now?!.. Can't wait for what ever is next..
