congrats regarding Last Apostle Puppet Show
#385004 - 01/14/20 08:58 AM



Almost about 17 to 18 years gone by when the Asian region was first added sometime in 2002 and finally the World? region version is finally found and added in 2020 as the new parent romset. Maybe it was destined to be that way when one notices years 2002 and 2020 being an anagram. I wonder if the alternate title Chinese Exorcist is probably a bootleg variety. Anyway, it means another entry to edit in unMAMEd whenever that occurs.



Last Apostle Puppet Show / Chinese Exorcist (Homedata, 88)

There has been a screenshot showing the title screen of "Chinese Exorcist", ...screenshot of the "Last Apostle Puppet Show"...

is it possible that mame releases the logo for (The Last Apostle Puppet Show) as all we have is this



it would be nice if mame releases all game logo's every time a new game is supported in transparency too.

Great find & thanks for release

I only used the plain commandline version of MAME....none of the various graphic UI versions.

I am guessing that logo is part of AntoPISA's packaged works?

If that should be the case, it is if and when AntoPISA has time to do that type of work.
AntoPISA's work sometimes relies upon if an actual pcb is ever found and can be dumped.

It is not related to work done by those that are part of MAMEdev contributors so consider it fortunate that contributors even found a pcb that runs The Last Apostle Puppet Show nearly 20 years later. (sometime in 2002 AD to Jan. 2020 AD)

Not their job. MAME development is strictly MAME development and nothing else.

Some developers and contributors of and to MAME source code might make up part of Dumping Union's past efforts and occasional monetary donation contributions or maybe some of the artwork development, but not always the case.


It simply depends upon who has time to do external contributions (frontends, artworks, etc.) that have nothing to do with MAME development.

It would be great if MAMu were still around creating icons for the various additions like he used to in the past, but even MAMu had left/retired several years earlier.
