MAMEWorld Forums - News - Re: Free Kick finally dumped by Charles!!

>Charles beat the custom CPU module

Another piece of outstanding work by Charles and why it's appreciated of seeing games being "saved" rather than fading away over time. Thanks also to Dave Widel too.

Good to know some old comments can be either removed from the driver or updated in the driver in hopes that other pcbs can be found later and rescued.

782 original sets don't work, they're missing the main cpu code which is probably inside
783 the custom cpu, battery backed too so hopefully somebody can work out how to get it
784 from an original counter run board before they all die

As others have mentioned, these are the needed/wanted versions so they can be saved as well.

"Sega", "Gigas (MC-8123, 317-5002)", GAME_NOT_WORKING | GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
"Nihon System (Sega license)", "Free Kick", GAME_NOT_WORKING | GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
"Nihon System (Sega license)", "Counter Run", GAME_NOT_WORKING | GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )

I recommend visitors to look at some of Charles' previous work such as the impressive work with Master Boy which was considered very much impossible way back then. I see the old WIP link can be removed from that 2007 page since that no longer exists.
