Copy a Json from another game , rename the JSON to the same as your folder name for shinobi and open the JSON up and rename the game name with the folder name you used for shinobi.
Thanks. It turns out some .json files have other info associated with them (like audio offsets). I do not have the ability to run the python script to build .json files for the core. I ended up finding a basic .json that would work. I think I used 2020bb. Cheers and thanks for the assurances.
Hi Hoffman, thank you for the very impressive conversion! What an awesome surprise that this is even possible!
I played this through once on a Neo Geo CD with the NeoCD SD Loader. Everything worked flawlessly until the end.
Only after I had beaten the last boss (on normal difficulty, lives free, mission 5 continues ON and demo sounds ON) and after giving initials for the hi-score screen and the game returned to the starting screen: I waited for a while to the demo to start playing. A flickery rainbowy screen with a code appeared. If the game was started fresh, the demo always played without problems.
Thanka for the bug report. I triggered this once yesterday but didnt manage to find the cause. Seeing as its after a completion of the game i figured id release anyway rather than fold it back any further.
Hello, Great job!!! Should be nice to also port the game to another 68000 based machine... the Amiga ? It deserve to have a better convert than the crappy original port :) That awfull port was the reason I did the Shinobi emulator almost 30 years ago ;) Thierry/ShinobiZ
Just a quick message to say thank you for your Sys16 emu, back in the day it was my first emu i saw at a friends house, it had no sound then, but it soon came together to be a great emulator, and it spawned many others i would think.. Cheers.
Oh man, that Amiga version is like Shinobi from Wish dot com 😂😂
To be honest I did consider it at the start of the disassembly but then I discovered how many sprites it can push and how many colors they have, so bailed instantly.
If I remember well no more than 256 differents colors are used in the same time, the first version of the emulator used the MCGA 256 colors mode, i used a dynamic palette assignements. On amiga maybe possible un AGA mode but don't know the AGA limitations so maybe I'm saying something stupid :-D
I tried your version on the MAME Neogeo CD emulator.
Hello, Just added your rom version to MAME to load it as a MVS card and the game is running without problems (bgm are ok, no background missing or wrong aligned), tested up to mission 2 level 3.
Thanks Hoffman for this superb present. Can be converted to analogue pocket systems? (OpenFPGA neogeo core). Usually uses neogeo folder with roms, and a JSON with roms used and type of rom. Thanks for your work. Tremendo trabajazo ;-)

works great on the pocket, i created the Json file needed..
How? I do not understand. I tried to use an existing .json but it did not work.
Copy a Json from another game , rename the JSON to the same as your folder name for shinobi and open the JSON up and rename the game name with the folder name you used for shinobi.

I'm sure that's the one I used.

This bug is fixed, update coming soon-ish.
Very nice!
Great job. Just loaded this up on the MiSTer as I dont have a NEOSD for my MVS. Enjoyed playing this :)
Thanks you Hoffman for this great job.. can i ask you if also will release mame format ?
Latest update has a clean rom set which you should be able to manipulate into whatever else you need.
:-D Thanks man !

Cool.. should have bug fixes for those soon on systems where the program rom is actually in DRAM ;)
It was very perfect. Congratulations! It would be amazing to have a Full version on Sega Genesis too
Can't wait for the day when Tryphon finishes that MD port. I'd love to see the Mandara boss battle on the Genesis someday.
It's not cancelled ?
Is it possible to play this on a PSP emulator or does it require a workaround? (I have a NeoGeo Emulator and it's not compatible with that rom)
Works great on the MiSTer FPGA, its not in Pocket format yet.

Dont have a pocket to test.. i see if i know someone.
I can convert the roms for Pocket, MVSX, Arcade Stick Pro, Neogeo mini, etc. I would need the actual roms though (P,S,M,V,C
perfect port! congrats.
Brutal
Awesome work! It’s possible convert mortal kombat 1 to neogeo too?
Looks awesome!! Any chance for a dark soft rom?
I have no idea what that is... please enlighten me.
Standard romset, with bin file for c1/m1/p1/s1/v* etc ...
The Darksoft multi. It’s a flash cart for the neogeo mvs & aes. Uses a different file format than the neo sd
This is the Pocket format, "darksoft" rom, for 3CountBout.
Oh easy!! Will try and wrap that up soon.. some available to test it?
i can test on the Pocket for you..
I can test it too, on pocket and Darksoft's Multis. I'm very thrilled by your crazy project!
Chaps, check the update!
Really enjoyed following development on Twitch, many thanks!
