News from August 2000

LogiqX ( Homepage ) has released two updated DAT files which have more errors fixed. These DAT's also include the new CRC's from the Japump dumps which will be included in NAZ's next FAQ.
 
CLRmame Pro DAT file v20000831
ROMcenter DAT file v20000831

Note : ROM names have changed in ARMWAR, SFA3, MVSC and SLAM2E. I've sent an updated CPS-2 driver to the MAMEdev which the above DAT's fully verify.

Some of you may be aware that a few weeks ago on the Retrogames message boards Jakesh (Kallus2) promised to send us the CPS-2 board that was donated to him by Steve. I can confirm that yesterday I did receive the board (Vampire Savior) in fully working order, it made my birthday that bit more special too :)
 
I want to thank Steve for allowing the donation being moved to ourselves and to Jakesh for keeping his word.
