MUP

This page is designed to allow for a quick look over all the drivers with a GAME_UNEMULATED_PROTECTION flag (but still working) by giving, as much as possible, an idea on the amount of effort needed to fix them.

alpha68k

sbasebal - MCU simulation is incomplete. See driver for notes.

atarig42

roadriot, roadrioto - ASIC65 for Road Riot not quite perfect.

atarigt

primrage, primrage20 - Are pretty close, but not quite perfect. There are some sprite offsetting issues still and I'm not 100% sure the gameplay is all there.

tmek and clones - Are interesting. We have a prototype version that plays well, but has no matching sound ROMs so you don't get sound. Then we have a non-prototype version that doesn't play correctly, but has fine sound. In theory, it might be possible to see the decrypted data in the prototype version and understand the process, but not much work has happened here.

cdi

General CDI emulation suffers from incomplete simulation of the SLAVE and CDIC MCUs. Decapping would help. ' quizrd12, quizrd17, quizrd22 - The protection has been beaten, but a decap of the MCU would permit real protection emulation.

coinmstr

quizmstr -

ddenlovr

quiz365, quiz365t - Needs better simulation of the protection device.

dec0

birdtry - Better simulation / dump of the i8751 MCU.

deco32

fghthist and clones - Simulation of the protection device is incomplete.

flstory

onna34ra, onna34ro, rumba - Better simulation / dump of the M68705 MCU.

galivan

ninjemak and clones - Likely missing MCU emulation/simulation for displaying text layer for Ninja Emaki. There is no text displayed when you enter Service Mode when there should be.

goindol

goindol, goindolk, goindolu - Currently protection is simulated with rom patches.

goldnpkr

falcnwlda - Epoxy block.

gsword

josvolly - Missing MCU dump.

konamigx

salmndr2, salamndr2a - ESC protection emulation incomplete (ships in attract mode).

winspike, winspikej - Incomplete simulation of the protection provided by a Xilinx FPGA.

lordgun

lordgun - Protection emulation instead of patching the roms.

merit

couple, couplei, couplep -

msisaac

msisaac - Missing M68705 MCU dump.

mpu4

Protection PAL "characteriser" isn't emulated properly.

namcond1

ncv2, ncv2j -

nmk16

hachamf - MCU simulation *might* be wrong/incorrect.

pacman

alibaba - Mistery items in Ali Baba don't work correctly because of protection.

segas16a

dumpmtmt, quartet, quarteta - i8751 MCU dumps needed: the MCUs clearly do more than what we are simulating.

seta

crazyfgt -

targeth

targeth, targetha - Needs DS5002FP MCU with external battery ram (32k).

tmnt

glfgreat, glfgreatj -

wink

wink, winka - Protection module has been reverse engineered but it's still missing something.
