That was primarily when asking redundant specific game questions such as "when will Raiden II be playable" etc.

As Moogly points out end user side nothing can be done unless user knows how to add on extensive pc hardware support before any work can even be done with emulating the games.

GAME( 1999, landhigh, taitotz, landhigh, landhigh, taitotz_state, init_landhigh, ROT0, "Taito", "Landing High Japan (Ver 2.01 OK)", MACHINE_NOT_WORKING | MACHINE_NO_SOUND )

Fortunately Landing High is dumped and documented which is a good start for time being.

There might be other Type Zero hardware games still needing to be found and on Dumping Union needed list. In case you see any, message Smitdogg.
