Mamedevs, what does that do for Bad Dudes' emulation, then?

It works for me but maybe it's because I viewed it earlier in the day so it's cached?

Might have something to do with this:

Side note: post was supposed to go out early release to backers but accidentally went to general release. We apologize to the backers, but it got a lot of attention in the short time that it was out, so we think it is best at this point to just keep it out there. We'll fix this for future posts.

I checked the dump for errors, and it looks like there's only a single bit wrong in the handler for a command the game never uses (unfortunately that command verifies the MCU program ROM checksum, so we can't verify that the dump is good that way). I also worked out a 1-byte hack that will make the dump work with Dragonninja, although it may be imperfect.

It's the usual protection tricks - doing minor bit manipulations on the input and returning it, keeping an internal state variable and resetting if input from the host doesn't match expected values from a table. One feature we didn't simulate at all is the ability to count using an internal timer and send the count values to the host CPU without receiving a command.

Will Caps0ff need another Bad Dudes PCB, then?

It'd be nice to get Bad Dudes and Dragonninja MCUs that haven't been damaged for confirmation, but what we've got works well enough to play through both games.
