>Nice work on that. was it hard protection?

More like being fortunate that a prototype Taito pcb had been found earlier this year as Haze mentioned in his blog http://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2016/04/01/a-wolf-in-prototype-clothing/. Emulation improvements of the parent rom set (ie: actual release of game) would not be possible without a particular Taito pcb that was found and purchased in Hungary.


Referring back to the text from Haze's blog entry....

What remains to be seen is if this prototype gives us enough information to improve our protection simulation on the original game. Eventually we would like to be able to dump the C-Chips and emulate the protection properly, as a CPU running the protection code, but right now we still don’t have a viable method for doing that,

..it might appear that the C-chip is still winning in some parts of the game play unless someone can come up with a method of getting rom data from the C-Chip.
