Taito Football Champ Hardware - Make it worth it!!!

You'd never have the grunt to emulate much more than a casio watch on a 68000. It's something like 1.5MIPS.

I do like a port if it has a bit of individuality added to it. Attempting a straight 1:1 is a bit boring anyway, especially now they're appearing daily on Neo Geo etc.

Out of curiosity, wasn't R-type 55Hz to get the 256 pixels high, and/or did you have to wind the vertical right in on the CRT?

yes it was 55hz

If anyone has a football champ board themsevles and wants to help me test the r-type port (and probably other games ) let me know via dm or on here.

The point was really that it reduces the playable screen width so aliens appear later and disappear earlier which will affect how the game plays. So converting games with the same physical display dimensions give a better chance of 100% accuracy.
But I am in total agreement that any game other than FC is a win for what is to me also a completely useless board

Maybe it’s a little bit harder as a result of aliens appearing and disappearing sooner ?

Once i complete the build to get the game to run properly. (I have various ideas for the small size differences ) i want to also make a few updates especially to the test modes! There is also a mod someone made with some new features i'd like to try out to

I was also thinking, maybe i should look into a gradius port to for the full shoot em up experience ha. I believe gradius is already 68000 based to.

I have 2. Ones football champs and one is euro. Both boot to black screens and rhe euro came with a smashed rom.
If you can use one and are willing to pay postage you can have one of them, I'll never get round to repairing them both and they dont owe me anything.

I don't think it would affect my game play skills on R-Type to be honest
